Why stop there? Why not create a hotline where anyone can call an armed security force to help with issues of danger?

[–] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 61 points 1 day ago (3 children)

hmm yes.. and they ought to be quick to dial in an emergency so maybe there should be a standardized short number just for them

also we should make them enormously racist

Let's also make sure they don't hire people who are too smart. It would be a real issue if the people handling this sensitive information had any contextual knowledge.

Good… good… we should also teach them to view all non-operators as potential threats this way they’re always prepared to attack the enemy. This sort of education will naturally not shift their perception nor cause them to accidentally shoot civilians especially minorities.

They should also take threats serious. If they were to know a criminal was in a building with a deadly weapon it would be best to wait outside to gain the advantage over the criminal. Can’t go inside because the locals might also be potential threats. You never know when an elementary could have a black boy with a rubber band gun!

I have an idea! Let's make them completely immune to prosecution for acts they commit! That way they uh. Well they could... It's be a good idea!

Speaking of hotlines, here's the official contact form for Governor Hochul in case you want to comment on the proposal and her performance in general.

And for no related reason whatsoever, here's the entire script of Bee Movie

It really fuckin does. Before long “corporate forces” are going to be sentencing us to death for “slander against a corporation.”

I watched a Sci-fi show about 15 years ago that had a "Corporate Congress" and thought, "nah". 😐

Turns out bullets not work in space.

Normally they do. The Firefly episode with Vera was wrong.

No, his sub-sonic rounds blowback was not enough to initiate proper weapon cycle.
