A popular police force is rarely an effective one. The Met in London has shown how efforts to be liked totally undermine their purpose. In a new bizarre development, they have advised women to flag down a bus if theyre stopped by a lone male police officer.

If the woman has just committed a crime and they are about to be arrested, and resist arrest, they will very effectively be able to argue that they reasonably believed that the officer was not genuine.

Once this starts, it wont just be women doing it. Men will as well. And maybe even troons.

So as has happened in the US, officers will avoid spontaneous interactions. The public might try to fill that gap, as they did on wandsworth bridge today.

But there was a reason society decided to professionalise the police. Who wants to do citizen patrols in addition to their normal job. Who wants those handing down justice to be motivated by the insane emotional reasoning so often seen.

The Gabbi Petito case, is a good example. If the public had their way the parents would have been arrested immediately because its so obvious theyre involved. Doing that would miss the chance to gather covert evidence that might lead to their son, and arresting too early usually results in failed prosecutions.

Society ought to push back against any attempt to make policing palatable because, as we are seeing, they cant be popular and effective at the same time.

That's not true. Before the BLM movement the police force in my country was both popular and effective. Then a man was killed by a completely different police force in a country on the opposite side of the earth, so now the youth hate them.

Thats actually a good point. The police can be popular if its because they are effective. In the UK at least, the police are trying to be popular by instituting policies that inherently make them less effective.

They're also harassing women for saying things the vast majority of the public believe.

From my experience, they have no understanding of the communities they serve any more. They create their own set of values, thinking that their role makes them uniquely able to guide society to eutopia.

Weve seen them be consistently wrong in that regard. But they make a big mistake which means they are a lost cause. They mistake their reputation for public interest. So any threat to the reputation of policing is seen as a risk to their ability to act in the public interest, so when they make appalling mistakes they do whatever they can to avoid embarrassment.

Its convenient for senior officers but leaves the public questioning how they can have the nerve to so openly lie.

It's reddit so it's probably fake but if it's not it's probably from a small business owned by a boomer who pulled himself up with his own bootstraps.

Its real my school had the same thing minus the last two lines which are new. Many Boomers still dont understand how badly the government they supported crippled the economy in the past fifty years. Of course socialism would break things worse but redditors are too dumb to see the cliff they want to jump off. We would never be in such a mess if we stayed on the gold standard and kept manufacturing jobs here.
 
My kids learned how to bread and fry chicken when they were probably 10/11 and I was proud of them for that, a majority of adults don't know how to do that so this is kinda ok impressive especially for reddit. unless of course those tendies were made in a factory and stuck in a redditor's oven for a few mins, but surely no redditor is going to ask for asspats re: that, surely, right?

Posting this shit feels degrading. Why do you go out of your way to infantilize yourself? This is a broken individual.

Anecdotally speaking, this is actually pretty decent. I knew girls in college who didn't even know how to boil eggs and one of my closest friends never cooks. A lot of younger people were never taught how to cook by their parents and/or are too lazy to learn. It's really depressing.

"frying is actually not that easy, i wouldn't recommend it for a beginner"

salt+pepper your meat, dip in flour, then in egg wash, then in breadcrumbs
now heat up oil in pan, add your breaded meat, flip it every couple minutes until golden brown on both sides, done

how incompetent are these redditors that they consider making chicken schnitzel a difficult undertaking for advanced chefs only?

What if the oil makes a pop and it triggers my ptsd from a balloon popping in my face :(
 
The actual cooking sub is one I've read off and on until I gave up on it. There were a lot of people slightly more advanced than this potatoes and tendies guy but quite a lot of them didn't have any learned skill of their own, it was plain to see that they would answer questions based on stuff they'd read and never done, and when it comes to frying things they think the only way to do this is with a big heavy dutch oven full of $45 worth of peanut oil because that's what kenji says to do, and no a little electric fryer will never ever work, and no shallow frying in your little $3 nonstick pan surely wont work either.

They somehow managed to make MASHED POTATO dry.

Never underestimate the capability of redditors. You should be more scared by the fact that this is a reflection of the average person's capabilities nowadays. To put it into context, a friend's younger brother would make "healthy" mashed potatoes by subbing the milk and butter for water. Yes, these people have lived their entire lives like this and will most likely never improve, only to pass their shitty habits onto their children.

An r/BreakingMom story in two parts:
View attachment 2592496
TL;DR: I'm leaving the father of my child, hooray! He begged for me back and I told him no! Haha!

View attachment 2592497
TL;DR: I was assaulted on my first day of vacation because I tried to hook up with some random guy I used to know immediately after leaving my husband! Oh no "bromos", how could this happen to me?

For the love of God just figure it out with your husband/boyfriends if you have kids. Especially if you're as bad at judging character as this female redditor. Also having a first date inside the man's apartment is the dumbest thing I ever heard. I bet this lady would go hiking on a first date too

She has a three year old child with her boyfriend of four years, that means she got knocked up almost immediately after they got together. She has a history of bad decisions, and I'm honestly surprised they managed to stay together for so long because babies put strain on healthy, well established relationships. Imagine finding out you're having a kid with someone before you've even considered living together.
