      Yes, we can’t have state institutions voicing support for a vulnerable demographic’s right to exist. We could risk that bigots would not feel welcome.

        so you want the police to have preferences for specific groups you like. so what happens when they do this with groups you don’t like. if you don’t get why state institutions need to be neutral and treat every body the same your fucking moron.

          You’re absolutely right. Like, the police shouldn’t have anything to do with supporting rape victims, because that might upset rapists. And the police shouldn’t have campaigns supporting the families of murder victims, because that might offend the murderers. And, most of all, the police shouldn’t be showing solidarity with any social demographic whatsoever, for the blindingly obivous reason that to do so might challenge the people who want to see that demographic exterminated. So obvious!

          You utter fucking slab.

              no the police should not be showing solidarity with any social demographic group whatsoever. they should not even have the slightest look of preferring one group over the other because there the fucking police.

                So protecting demographics from hate crimes is out of the question? How do you propose thru do that without showing solidarity?

                  are you really this dense they should do there job. you are only for this because you like this personally but once they stop promoting shit you personally don’t like you are going to be against this really fucking fast once they do this for groups you dislike. and this shows that the police should not be in the business of showing solidarity or anything else with nobody. they should do there job equally for everybody. they should not be advertisements for any group. this is the whole reason the concept of why justice should be blind even exists.

                  This entire site is so fucking pathetic. The two of you are arguing over fucking pride flags on police cars. Both of you need to grow up.

                    It goes further than just the precise text of the ruling and what decoration you can have on some cars. This will embolden people who want to kill queer people and/or force them in the closet. Trans people have already been killed by biggots emboldened by court rulings and the CASS report. There’s been pogroms against people of different ethnicities in the past year already. Only a matter of time until they target LGBTQIA+ people too.

      if you believe the police are “neutral” then you are either genuinely one of the most ignorant people alive or you know you’re full of shit and you like how they’re biased

        they should strive to be neutral they should enforce the law equally for everybody because they represent state power if you don’t get that your a moron. because you know very well if they would be doing this for groups you dislike you would not be supporting this and that alone shows that the police should never be overtly supporting one group.

              And you don’t think this ruling will deter them from attending pride? Which they would have to do to protect people there? Simply doing so could be read as a “political act”.

                you are being very disingenuous this only has to do with what they put on there cars. the only thing on a police car should be police. i did notice that you totally ignored when i said that you would be totally against this if they would be punting something on there car of a group you dislike and you would have no argument against it clearly.

                  Rulings don’t happen in isolation. They have knock on effects on other things. Here in the UK, we have race riots, book bans and the country with the most cultural influence on us is turning into the new Nazi Germany. This ruling occurs in that context.

                    just maybe the police should have never done this in the first place and definitely in this context.
