police association - through the Toronto Star - are now preemptively blaming overall police morale due to the shootout at the apartment building that resulted in an officer death, and the World Cup for them shooting at 12-year-olds? "police on edge" https://t.co/CuXCXAjKUY

@R3Dchef @JurassicJimee @JakeLandauTO ...it's pretty clear you aren't interested in solving the problem, only in repeating the pattern that got us here in the first place.

[power_mac @PJJMD]

@R3Dchef @JurassicJimee @JakeLandauTO So you know this policy will just have them doing drugs somewhere worse than public transit. You just don't care.

[power_mac @PJJMD]

@R3Dchef @JurassicJimee @JakeLandauTO ...so you don't care about solving the problem. Cool.

[power_mac @PJJMD]

@R3Dchef @JurassicJimee @JakeLandauTO I don't think its acceptable. I just know that the way to stop people from doing drugs on the bus is to provide them an option to do it literally anywhere else. They don't want to be doing it on the bus.

They aren't getting high as part of their morning commute.

[power_mac @PJJMD]

@R3Dchef @JurassicJimee @JakeLandauTO Every time you push drugs users away from a location, they end up somewhere worse. Stop being an idiot. Develop basic pattern recognition.

[power_mac @PJJMD]

@R3Dchef @JurassicJimee @JakeLandauTO People are doing drugs in the subway because they got pushed out of doing it in safe injection sites.

They were in SIJs because they were pushed out of parks.

They were in parks because they were pushed out of shelters.

They were in shelters bc they were pushed out of housing.

[power_mac @PJJMD]

@R3Dchef @JurassicJimee @JakeLandauTO So, you haven't actually thought this through?

Do you think people will stop doing drugs if they can't do them on the subway? Or will they do them somewhere else?

If you care about where people are doing drugs, stop trying to push them out of places, and start pulling instead.

[power_mac @PJJMD]

@R3Dchef @JurassicJimee @JakeLandauTO So quick question, why do you think people are doing drugs in the subway?

You probably need an idea of 'why' before you try to change the behavior, right?

So why are people doing drugs on the subway?

[power_mac @PJJMD]

@R3Dchef @JurassicJimee @JakeLandauTO Cool, if you have a quick fix for homelessness, implement that first, then start 'enforcing public order'.

@HeerJeet Scandal number 1 is kinda Strangelove coded.

@EricDLombardi "And I’ll invest in space to help those in need at the same time."

1) No you won't. Don't lie. That's the same lie Doug told when he shut down the safe consumption sites.

2) If you cared about helping people, you would be investing in those spaces before criminalizing people.

@SeptimusP @LazarusKumi Yes, Leopard skin is awesome, people have been wearing it for thousands of years, my reference photo was 'people have been using it as an accent to blazers' for ~200 years, because that's how long blazers have been around in a way thats recognizable.

@LazarusKumi Obviously people in Africa (and the larger Mediterranean world) have been using leopard print as an accent for thousands of years. The fact that I chose a picture of a bunch of french guys from ~250 was closer to the fact that waist coats didn't exist much before then.

@LazarusKumi No, obviously Coming to America contained original costume designed inspired by absolutely nothing that came before. Wearing leopard print as an accent to evening wear? Earliest I could find after 5 seconds of googling is 1790...

@allanexoflpa I do love the energy, but that isn't in Toronto is it?

[power_mac @PJJMD]

@anotherglassbox Most police are there to serve as enforcers of the states monopoly of violence. Investigating violent incidents after the fact is low priority.

52 division specifically is the organized crime division... and no, I don't mean 'fighting organized crime'.

[power_mac @PJJMD]

@anotherglassbox ...you are aware that the primary purpose of the police is not to investigate crime, right?

Like I know that's what they make it look like on TV, but thats really not their job.

@JakeLandauTO When are we going to talk about the plug feel?
