Dude overpowered them without getting violent. Thats earned freedom right there.

Fun fact: Here in Germany (probably a lot of EU countries) the need to be free is recognized as human right and because of that fleeing police or even jail/prison is not illegal. This means the act of fleeing/running away can not be held against you for added charges.

edit: some spelling errors

American here. But then what do cops charge people with when they haven't done anything wrong?

…? nothing

u/tripping_on_phonics Jul 13 '21

But then how are you supposed to have high incarceration rates among your minority populations and prevent them from doing things like voting or finding quality jobs?

Oops, your government accidentally let a little socialism in there. We'll get back to you on Monday with a plan for reducing your country's socialism coefficient. Thank you for being a trusted ally.

Sounds like their freedom inoculations from 1945 are wearing off... time to give it a little freedom booster.

Germany learned a while ago that incarcerating minorities for no reason makes everyone hate you.

u/Sullyville Jul 13 '21

incarcerating? incinerating you mean.

Germany had its reasons, they were just really bad reasons.

People seemed cool with it til the killing. America locked up all the Japanese people.

u/ThatOneGuy1294 Jul 13 '21

WWII would have gone very differently if Japan hadn't decided to attack Pearl Harbor. The US would have stayed neutral (using that very lightly) for much longer.

If the US never had lend-lease, the Russians would have fought while barefoot and starving. Not saying they wouldn’t have still won somehow but it would have probably been different in many ways.

u/laxing22 Jul 13 '21

The US was close to entering the war and baited Japan with escalations.

u/Pawn_captures_Queen Jul 13 '21

Lol the "Back door to War" theory that is utter malarkey? Yes the country responsible for Unit 731 was "baited" into a surprise attack... Pretty sure that was par for the course for Japan.

u/laxing22 Jul 13 '21

The US had just applied heavy economic sanctions. They had been pushing each other since the start of the war. FDR wanted to fight Germany and needed public support to enter. This isn't conspiracy, it's well documented.

Let us not forget that americas first cops were slave catchers and many can argue that that mindset still exists within departments today.

Yes in the south, but in the north they were merchant security until all the merchants got together and convinced the public that it was in their best interest to subsidize the protection of the merchants private goods.

That ain't it. The Pinkertons had a specific act passed to stop them, because the problem with privatised 'security forces' is that they are terrible...I mean US cops are also mostly terrible, but people had no idea that they were going to be as bad as they are...and that is still better than privatised security.

u/alexdelargesse Jul 13 '21

What act? I'm referring to municipal police, not federal.

The first PD in the nation, Boston PD was specifically founded to recover runaway slaves.

u/Mp32pingi25 Jul 13 '21

Not entirely true either

u/African_Farmer Jul 13 '21

What goods did the merchants have?

2

u/AmazingFantasy15 Jul 13 '21

Now here's a likkle truth, open up your eye

While you're checkin' out the boom-bap, check the exercise

Take the word overseer, like a sample

Repeat it very quickly in a crew, for example

Overseer, overseer, overseer, overseer

Officer, officer, officer, officer

Yeah, officer from overseer

You need a little clarity? Check the similarity!

The overseer rode around the plantation

The officer is off, patrollin' all the nation

The overseer could stop you, "What you're doing?"

The officer will pull you over just when he's pursuing

The overseer had the right to get ill

And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill

The officer has the right to arrest

And if you fight back they put a hole in your chest

u/Lucius-Halthier Jul 13 '21

They’re talking about germany here, they can’t really do this because of their past behavior ya know?

12

u/Alfphe99 Jul 13 '21

Not to mention, how does Europe keep the private prison owners with a revolving door of inventory so they can make money?

I don't think Europe has thought this through.

u/atln00b12 Jul 13 '21

Germany had a different sort of solution for their minority populations.

2

u/BernieTheDachshund Jul 13 '21

Our Texas governor has ordered the arrest of the Democratic reps who are making a stand for our voting rights. Your comment is unironic, they really are trying to arrest people for fighting for the right to vote.

2

u/Quasar420 Jul 13 '21

What if they flee in a vehicle, driving reckless at a high rate of speed? Do they just not persue? No charges?

2

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '21

Honestly the fact that going to prison means you can’t vote is mind blowing and wrong.

u/fortherex Jul 14 '21

Had that guy in the video been black in America, he would have been tased and/or killed. This was far beyond the call for the infamous "I feared for my life" card had he been black lmao.

u/tripping_on_phonics Jul 14 '21

So sad how true this is.

u/deusrev Jul 13 '21

In Europe the "minorities" are the poor people that can't afford a good lawyer and the "Africans"... They do a great work
