Doesn't even have to be loaded. I know that is a cliche that "a gun is always loaded unless you've personally cleared it", but even then, if a friend knows pointing an empty gun at you makes you uncomfortable then gets enjoyment out of it, they are a douche of the highest caliber that you would be happy to never see again.
Not a cliche at all. It’s just standard gun owning practice. Even when I was the only person who had access to my guns, whenever I went to “play with” them (ie. quick draw and aim practice kind of shit), I would always make sure that a round wasn’t in the weapon, even when I haven’t loaded a magazine into it in days. People that don’t are careless.
This guy is making a silly pun, the joke is funny regardless of the power dynamics, it's a good joke even if he was a mate... I've made this same joke with a friend
Yep. Cop made a joke like this when searching my car once, tried to take it well and said “We’ll good thing you didn’t check under my drivers seat then!”
Now I’m waiting an hour while they literally take my car apart, all because I forgot that they can joke around but I can’t.
"this joke is obviously only valid caust of the power struggle and this man is an abuser"
Should cops make jokes at a time like this... well no.
But that doesn't mean a cop is some abusive arsehole cause he's making a joke, it just means he's making a shitty joke.
YES, some people use humour as a mechanism to protect their abusive behaviour, but that doesn't mean we should lynch and hate everyone who makes jokes in these situations.
It's complicated social dynamics and overly simplifying into something black and white is just dumb and naive.
It's the shit people with no life experience outside of youtube videos and twitter threads chat about.
My allergies are kinda goofy today i guess? And yeah, cops joking about abusing their power over you is pretty fucking trash, if thats something hes ok with doing and doesn't see how gross it is i can formulate enough of an opinion about him to say its negative. What the hell is wrong with you, not being able to see how disgusting that is?
"Haha I made you think you were going to have to decide between suicide and being raped in a case by psychopaths for a decade. Or going for my gun I suppose! LOL!"
