beat the room because it's black AND arrest the light bulb because it's broke.

[–]spud159 36 points37 points ago

Am i the only one who gives a fuck about the rules concerning reposts!

[–]lackofbrain 7 points8 points ago

I give a fuck about them - they don't matter and complaining about them is more annoying that the reposts themselves

[–]Poultry_Sashimi 5 points6 points ago

I give a fuck about them - they don't matter

wat?

[–]lackofbrain -4 points-3 points ago

I give a fuck about the rules concerning reposts. Reposts don't matter. That is the rule.

[–]Poultry_Sashimi 0 points1 point ago

wat?

It may be your rule, but that doesn't make it the rule. Another one on the sidebar is in direct contradiction to your rule, for example.

Thank you

You should also check the reddiquette for whining about reposts.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

If every Internet user saw every item posted on the Internet every day, we would not need reposts.

generalizing races is racism but generalizing cops is funny?

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points ago

Copism is not funny.

[–]building_a_moat 1 point2 points ago

The difference is that you don't choose to be a race - but you do choose to be a cop. Is it not fair to say that a certain type of person is more likely to choose a profession because of the characteristics of that job?

[–]rathum2323 -1 points0 points ago

Still, even if the majority of cops were D-bag - which i'm not yet convinced that they are - don't you think it's fair to say that there might be a significant amount of cops who are not D-bags? Is it not unfair to generalize cops in this way - given that generalizing other groups of people is considered highly unfair?

[–]building_a_moat 0 points1 point ago

I think treating someone worse (like being a dick to a cop even when he's being perfectly professional) just because they are a member of a certain group is unfair, however making this sort of joke about a group that is composed of voluntary members isn't all that unreasonable.

What about making jokes about a political party? You can make jokes about them, or even criticize them based solely on generalizations. This is because they wanted to be a member of that group, and actively pursued that goal. The same is true for any profession.

[–]rathum2323 0 points1 point ago*

But isn't that like saying that it's fair and not offensive to generalize people of a certain religion just because being in a religion is almost totally voluntary (technically speaking)? I would say that it's always unfair and offensive to generalize any group of people. Again oftentimes for the sake of fun and humor, we may resort to offensive jokes but it needs to be noted that these kinds of jokes are still offensive.

[–]IAStatePride[!] -5 points-4 points ago

It's a harmless joke. Relax.

[–]rathum2323 6 points7 points ago

help me relax. massage my shoulders. aaah that feels good.

[–]issomethingmissing -5 points-4 points ago

Huge difference, bro.

[–]rathum2323 0 points1 point ago

what's the difference? aren't you still generalizing one group of people and assigning to them a stereotypically negative trait?

[–]issomethingmissing -1 points0 points ago

It's not called "All cops are D-bags", it's called "D-bag cop". The image macro contains one person, it doesn't imply that all police do the same thing.

[–]rathum2323 -1 points0 points ago

Check the joke. How many cops does it take to change a lightbulb? None, they just beat the room for being black. So now the implication is that cops are racists, which might be true for some cops and maybe true for a large number of cops, but it's definitely not true for all cops.

All i'm saying is that this is an offensive joke. Not that i'm against offensive jokes, they have their place but i think we need to see offensive jokes as offensive jokes.

[–]Zikro 2 points3 points ago

Reminds me of THIS.

[–]wokeupquick2 4 points5 points ago

HA! I used to work with this guy! The irony is that he is one of the nicest guys you'd ever want meet... and I am not just saying that, cause some of our co-workers were total douchers and deserve much more to be this meme.

This picture is actually from his facebook page where all he does is field questions from people about the law (usually traffic, he is a motorcycle cop)

[–]TV666 3 points4 points ago

nice repost bro

[–][deleted] ago

[–]Kablooblab 1 point2 points ago

you guys bitch about everything

[–]xbenxspire 3 points4 points ago

Beating the room for being black AND beating a dead horse, all in one meme.

[–]DeadHead13087 2 points3 points ago

Stupid post.

[–]Meth4Fun 6 points7 points ago

Repost?

[–]fah_cue 3 points4 points ago

Repost.

[–]Meth4Fun 0 points1 point ago

I thought so

[–]Kennyboay -1 points0 points ago

Meth is not fun

[–]Meth4Fun 2 points3 points ago

I would beg to differ

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

You clearly have never tried meth.

[–]FishBonePendant 1 point2 points ago

Smells like repost!

[–]Bloodfeastisleman 1 point2 points ago

This would of been funny like 20 years ago when police brutality against blacks was well noted. Now this is just a stereotype done in lazy comedy.

[–]UneAnnonce 0 points1 point ago

So, reposting once or twice is alright, but now I feel like I'm seeing this thing every other week. PLEASE, SOMEONE MAKE A NEW D-BAG COP MEME.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Frigging reposts.

[–]ANAL_PONDERER 0 points1 point ago

im really fucking sure that this is a repost.

[–]dirmer3 0 points1 point ago

Haha I just wanted to let you know I got a good laugh out of that! Thank you!

[–]Patchworkparamedic 0 points1 point ago

I'd like to see you go a week without them.

[–]ButtTheHoopoe -1 points0 points ago

I wasn't expecting this to be funny. Thanks for the surprise!

[–]captainmorgan23 -1 points0 points ago

Not what I expected on the bottom line and just made my entire staff look at me when I busted out laughing...now they all want to see why...I work in Detroit.

[–]MetalDogIV -4 points-3 points ago

For those of you complaining about how this makes fun of cops, not everyone thinks cops are scumbags. Those of you who think this is true should get their shit figured out, you wouldn't have so many "bad" encounters with cops if you didn't continuously break the law. My dad is a cop and this shit gives cops a bad name, most cops aren't like that so stop acting like they are and grow up.

[–]poeboy 1 point2 points ago

I 100% agree. So tired of seeing shit talk about cops then watching posts with replies of nothing but "let the cops know, that's what they're there for. I've never met a bad cop. In fact, every cop I've ever met are truly nice people who would do about anything to help someone in need. I wonder how many redditors have run-ins with bad cops and how many are just following a herd of idiots. /end rant

[–]mStewart207 -2 points-1 points ago

You know what though, the reason you have bad cops is because the "good" cops cover up for them.

[–]ArmlessTrout -1 points0 points ago

Oh stop with that bullshit, thats what everyone on this site says and its ridiculous. Hell one was just arrested for luring a 12 year old and every cop wants to see him burn in hell.

[–]MetalDogIV -1 points0 points ago

most cops hate cops who abuse their power, my dad hates it and his job is to investigate and bring those cops to justice.

[–]poopspoops -1 points0 points ago

I was watching cops yesterday(for science) and I can count on one closed fist how many white people got arrested.........coincidence?

[–]Rionok -4 points-3 points ago

Haha, it's a joke about cops!

[–]PrincipalBlackman -1 points0 points ago

Anaheim? I actually think that cop responded to an accident I was in.

[–]theodrixx -2 points-1 points ago*

SO BRAVE

edit: My bad, I guess I thought it wasn't so fresh and exciting to make fun of the police any more.

[–]Smile_Y -2 points-1 points ago

You guys have never had an encounter with a black cop, did you?

[–]misterfanwank -4 points-3 points ago

Oh fucking shit, I posted this the other day and you fuckers downvoted me into oblivion. Fuck you guys.

[–]MrMickus 1 point2 points ago

Thats because you reposted.

[–]misterfanwank -1 points0 points ago

Yes. My issue is that this douchebag reposted it and is getting rewarded for it.

[–]toodlenoodle[S] 0 points1 point ago

[–]misterfanwank -1 points0 points ago

Yes, I am mad and jelly. Fuck you, toodlenoodle.

[–]toodlenoodle[S] 0 points1 point ago

[–]misterfanwank -1 points0 points ago

I already have. I downvoted as many of your submissions as I could before laziness and apathy kicked in...
