      Cops don’t prevent crime. They only respond to it and often commit other crimes in the process

        The goons in John Wick have more credibility than cops. I’d love a franchise where it’s just John Wick gunning down these IRL goons and knock it off with this thin blue line propaganda horseshit

          Tbf Keanu could probably merc a couple hundred cops on his own, those videos of him training before John Wick shoots (heh) are insane

          Also your hypothetical movie needs more Jon Bernthal

      It’s not a public space, it’s a publicly-accessible space. Limits on public access can be imposed by the property owners using trespass law. Violating posted signs is trespassing; cops that enter without a warrant or other special authority (beyond just being a cop, eg hot pursuit) are subject to criminal trespass.

    Why am I picturing a hostess greeting people with: “Are you a cop? You have to tell me if you’re a cop.”

    Adore the sentiment but publicly calling out a violent gang at your place of business like this is almost suicidally ballsy

      The option is no better … allowing entitled power mad idiots with guns into your space that if you piss off or upset will threaten you or even start arresting people just because they can.

      Are you old enough to remember when librarians posted signs that their records had not YET been investigated by (I want to say) HLS?

      I could see cops organizing something where they entice a tweaker to rob the place while they stand right outside going “darn, if only we could do something… 😂!”

        I mean, they would have exigent circumstances, so if they sat around watching a store get robbed, and did nothing about it, that would still be their fault. They wouldn’t have to stop the perp from doing whatever in the store, but if they just let him go, that would be aiding and abetting.

          For real, what would they do otherwise? Show up super late to the crime scene? Launch and “investigation” that takes months?? Let the investigation fizzle out and result no true resolution or justice??? Let the insurance do the real work???

          That is them getting involved, by manufacturing a situation that otherwise wouldn’t have occurred

      Well, you know, they say you gotta take risk and shit. That would be the one reason why I’d fucking eat there, because I don’t go out and eat anymore. These fucking piglets need to know that we don’t like them, and they’re not welcome. They need to be ostracized and fucking shamed and realize that they’re not needed in our society. I don’t call the fucking cops.

      Just hand out leftover food after closing and you’ll have a hundred people who also hate cops watching over your place.

        And also do that regardless. Throwing out perfectly good food when people are starving is an especially cruel form of waste.

          Urban Outfitters makes their starvation wage employees cut up discontinued products so homeless people can’t rummage in the dumpster and wear them

      What is scary about the times we live in is that you make an outwardly show of solidarity and then some fucking dumb cult member comes out with a gun and starts shooting people. It’s kind of how fascists work. They are the abusers and the saviors.

    Will that even work? With the new ruling allowing warrantless searches? Can I just put one of these up on my front door and LE will just go, “dang, this place looked like a great one to ransack and pillage, but with the sign… Dang.”

      Depends what you mean by “work”. Being a cop is not a protected class so yeah you can expel one from your private business for any reason or no reason at all.

      But if they are investigating a crime, executing a warrant, or any other kind of official business then no this sign doesn’t do shit legally. This place looks like it serves alcohol and is open to the public so there’s no right to privacy from police when holding a liquor license.

        So when’s the Revolution Man? It’s a small pizza shop. Not nationwide insurance. It’s a fucking pizza shop in Arizona which is right next to the border. There are many Mexican people that live here. These people would want to feel safe. And Welcomeed! Let me repeat, it is a small pizza shop, not nationwide insurance. It’s not tone deaf. Or short sighted Sure it is what it is. These piglets don’t even follow the law. It’s a huge risk. It takes some balls, I think. Especially in this climate. I think you underestimate this drastically. It’s not like a wokism and like corporations Virtue signaling. And it’s not like some air-headed liberal on Facebook.

    I just saw my first one if these IRL today at a cafe where I ate lunch. It was only for ICE and not cops in general, but it made me feel good about spending my money there.
