No. The problem is not just the university police, but how they deal with protests. First of all, a university having a police force is already crazy, but dealing with protesters with grenade launchers? Maybe America's problem is not the protests but how they think they should deal with them, just saying.
Because if you tell me that the police need to arm themselves that much because citizens can be armed too and they need to counter those weapons then the problem is still weapons.
Yes, and the police force from the city, which by the way is not as militarized as the American one, deals with people without the university needing to buy weapons.
That's exactly the amount of weapons universities in other countries buy. And apparently, they all work and deal with protests frequently.
What about the people who charge you for the train service and profit from it? Ain't nobody thinking of the poor capitalist here?!
Because none of them are ruled by capitalism. Capitalism is their economic system, not their government system.
Do you really think the UC is the only university in the world having protests? Because you know... I've seen protests in so many other countries but none of them had a university buying a fucking grenade launcher to "pacify" them.
Manual to de-escalating potentially dangerous situations for an American policeman:
Whatever the threat is, grab your gun and open fire until you feel there is no more threat incoming.
Idk man, in a normal country, a police officer would be interrogated for drawing their gun in a fucking train station full of people. FOR DRAWING IT. But here we have a couple of "heroes" that open fire in a fucking train station against a guy who didn't pay the ticket and apparently it's all fine.
How is a private entity allowed to buy military grade weaponry to use against their students?
Oh right... 'Merica. You guys have a problem with weapons, a problem no civilized country has. But then again, we're not talking about a civilized country but a capitalism ruled country.
The room next to where you installed it at home will still have problems getting more than 2 lines of WiFi.
Thank you for your service, fellow user.
Fact is these devices are not illegal because they can run retro games. What is illegal is selling them with the games inside.
If the batteries were not legally compliant, that's a whole different matter. But the article puts the focus on how they could play "licensed" games and were illegal when that's a blatant lie. These consoles are completely legal (from a copyright standpoint) if they are sold without any games and you then get the games by yourself.
And this is what people mean when they say the title is using the "cop tense".
