I feel like edits within a short window should be allowed for error correction. After that it should probably be locked.

If it’s left unlocked, either temporarily or permanently, there should be an edit history akin to Wikipedia to track the changes.

I would upvote/boost this, but I get the same issue 🤣

A triangle with 90° angles, yes.

But not a four sided TRIANGLE. That itself is a contradiction.

Basically no. They have an obligation to arrest the perpetrator. They can’t be made to risk their safety in defending you tho. So no, they don’t have to protect you in that situation and they can still do their “job” by arresting the perpetrator after.

Your error is in thinking they “thwart” the crime. They don’t. They punish after the fact. That’s still upholding the law(punishment for breaking it) without protecting a person. There is no law that says they have to put their lives in danger, so they’re not breaking any laws when they don’t intervene.

It’s not mental gymnastics. It’s that laws are specific so as not to be too broad and overreaching and in this case, there is a massive Blindspot that has not only been allowed to exist, but has been further codified in legal precedent.

“Protect and serve” is a PR statement. It is not a codified law anywhere.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

I love it as well. It’s great to see the insanity before I switch to my subscribed feed lol. People complaining just need to learn how to manage their feed and enjoy the beans.

I’m downvoting you because you’re being incredibly immature right now. People can disagree with you
Saying “how dare you downvote me, I can SEE IT!” and calling them out makes you look like a giant child. You need to take some time to consider your own response and whether or not that’s something WE want on the fediverse. You can just as easily be blocked too, you know.

Protests actually weren’t MLKs strongest tool, and he himself admits it. Getting arrested for doing something and then challenging it in court now that you have standing was his biggest tool. Most of the protests were just a means to get arrested. It’s revisionist history that says it was the protests specifically that worked because it’s better to emphasize the tactics that didnt work than to point out what actually did and risk a reoccurrence.

That said, don’t just call people out who downvote you. No one owes you an explanation if they thought your post was bad. I’ve already seen it once and it was pretty childish.
