This right here is why people buy display hutches to hold glassware, change my mind

This assumes that every prisoner has committed a crime and that the police do more to get at the truth than they do to close cases. Looking at history, these are really bad assumptions to make.

We’ve done it, everybody! We’ve got an actual Cat Facts subscriber!

Please tell me they did “thorough”

The cynicism is so valid in examples like this. Haha a few years ago, I would’ve assumed that police didn’t want the “extra” work of having to process the assault; now, there are so many other options available for them to not do work!

My point isn’t that SF police are doing what they’re supposed to, it’s that this problem is systemic. It’s not just the police that are fucking this up, it’s not just fire making comments of pure idiocy about how appropriate it is to test for date rape drugs, it’s a problem that city government, police, fire, and health services are all contributing to when they refuse to test a patient who’s clearly been drugged. They have their tiny bit of hope for deniability (“date rape drugs aren’t commonly used in crimes here” and “what can you do when the test isn’t called for?” kinds of garbage) that every person should recognize as dangerous to all of society.

The city’s goal isn’t safety and justice for all, it’s enough stability to continue operating and growing. Here’s what that might look like:

A fire or police chief is told that city tax revenue (a large source of their station’s funding), goes down when tourists stop visiting. Then, it’s also mentioned that testing for date rape drugs leads to positive results for date rape drugs, and no reasonable person would want to visit a city known for their rates of crimes involving date rape drugs, now, would they? It would be so terrible if there was no money for the station’s most effective community safety programs and equipment upgrades because of declining tourism. If things got bad enough, there might not be enough money to keep the station open without having to rely on public fundraisers like county fair dunk tanks and pancake breakfasts, and doesn’t the city where you built your career deserve better than that?

I think the reason is because they don’t want date rape drugs showing up in their community’s crime and safety stats

Stop contributing to the problem you’re complaining about 😂

We wait.

Valid, but I have yet to catch her in her pre-leap state. She’s too quick!

Hahaha this face is one of my favorites that my cat makes. I am delighted to see pictures of other cats doing the same thing.

I <3 pudgy cats

Hard truths, friend

This cat is perfect

You can be short-sighted and wrong, but it’s better to re-examine your beliefs and the way you understand the world. It’s a good thing to grow out of this phase.

Seems weird to me that you think helping marginalized people wouldn’t help everybody. That’s the whole point, finding solutions to problems that work for everyone, not just those in the middle of the bell curve.

As someone with a learning disability, a history of trauma, neurodivergence, and is part of a racial minority, I really don’t give a fuck if the majority are kept quiet for five minutes lol
