They singled her out of the crowd to do this too. Interesting tactic on their part. Just makes for more awareness.
i know she’s trying to get charged because that’s how these work, but how do you in good conscience do this to her?
i mean i guess anyone working those jobs had their soul removed already anyway
Cops work for the billionaire class, not us. They do the bidding of their masters and don’t see us as anything but plebs. They don’t have a conscience.
Some great answers above/below:
- ACAB - of course! ALL cops!
- Cops work for the billionaire class. They do the bidding of their masters - yep, sure
- Police protect property, not people - so true

The police are there to enforce the law. Are all police officers perfect, no. Is anyone perfect, no.
My point being, you should want the police to follow the law and enforce it. From the article, they were enforcing a law around the Public Order Act.
So doesn’t the problem really exist with those who make the law, not those who enforce it?
(Ok, I’ll get off my high horse now)
Ah yes, the classic “just following orders” defense. I’m glad we didn’t have a big war crime trial about 80 years ago where we collectively agreed that was horse shit.
Come on. There’s quite a difference between the police following the law, and people being lead to their death.
If you disagree with the police following the law, what alternative would you suggest?
You know lemmy is better than Reddit when a post about Greta isn’t filled with people that feel personally attacked by a girl that is just trying to make the world a better place.
That always pissed me off so much.
He’s not talking in general terms, he’s talking about the Gretta hate train on Reddit, and I for one agree with him.
Even at work grown ass men getting all fucking butt hurt over her fighting to make the world a better place. Disagree with her all you want, even disagree with her methods, but this fucking persecution complex because someone young (and let’s be honest, female) dares to try to make a change is just so pathetic.
What hate train? Reddit has millions of users, even if thousands say bad things about her doesn’t necessarily mean that theres a hate train coming for her, it’s still a small percentage of people who have their own opinion, regardless if you or me agree with them.
If you strike her down, she will become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.
@Sweetpeaches69 Thus, the recursive idea of “ideas” themselves, be it good, bad, or somewhere in-between.
“Well-behaved women seldom make history.”
I won’t agree with her every decision nor statement, but I completely agree with her sentiment. After working for one of these oil majors, I believe it’s going to take a lot of public pressure to get them to do the right thing. They’ll do it, eventually, but the crusty execs need to be made to bend. My coworkers were all into sustainability and excited at new initiatives we’d hear about. It was the executive leadership that inhibited everything.
