He couldn’t ignore the fact that, if he didn’t confess, he would have to lie for a very long time and with very great skill.

"BULLETPROOF' CHIEF STOPS PELLET, LIVES," Windsor Star. October 14, 1943. Page 3. --- Chief Constable Alex Callander, of Ingersoll, has a bruise on his, abdomen as evidence of a bullet, said to have been fired at him during a furious fight in his office Wednesday, while he was questioning three men suspected of robbery. Carl Brooks, London, Ont., was held by the chief. The second man, Joseph Mitchell, who fled from the office, was arrested later at his home in London. A third man still is at large. Chief Callander said the bullet struck something in his pocket after ripping through his tunic and trousers. It inflicted only a slight bruise.

You know the point of "protecting the children" dogwhistles, right? It's a reference to the idea that all queer people are child abusers. Super common belief among homophobes and transphobes, including (sometimes especially) gay ones.
It's also not just "a dogwhistle". When pressed to explain what exactly they want to protect children from, it's a ready-made emotional appeal to something that has broad social support. Most people, even if they don't like being around kids, are also not pro-child abuse. That's why conservatives go out of their way to invent (even if it's completely fictional) "reasons" why acceptance of gay and trans people amounts to child abuse. It helps them create an emotional connection with their target audience, and can be leveraged into logically ridiculous arguments like "well, if you don't agree with my platform, you must be pro child abuse, because I'm on the side of The Children".
"Protecting the children" is also super appealing to parents in particular, not because all parents are secretly authoritarians, but because it's super common to have a child and realize "Oh shit, I brought this person who can't defend themselves into the world and the world kind of sucks", and to feel horribly, horribly inadequate in the face of that.
I get very tired of people who mock, scorn, and ridicule people for falling for these rhetorical traps, or being snared by something that seems common-sense but disguises something ugly underneath. They are traps. That is what they're meant to be. That is why there are gay people who fall for anti-queer rhetoric, and get pulled into exclusionist or violently reactionary circles. We all have things we are vulnerable to, whether that is a history of being abused or a deep fear that we cannot protect our own children, who we brought into the world and are responsible for the protection of. And we gain nothing by mocking the latter.
I'm sure it makes some people feel great to say "well if you were really who you claim to be, you wouldn't fall for this shit", but frankly, that's a stupid-ass take. It misses entirely that these messages are carefully crafted by the people who hate us! They workshop these statements! They spend months or years trying to find the right message and when they find it they use the hell out of it, because it works. Because they are listening to the public conversations people are having online, and it doesn't take any level of basic agreement to be capable of regurgitating the party line word-for-word.
I am so sick of people who look at a deeply-embedded struggle over social and political ideals and think that this fight won't demand our whole brains and hearts and souls and yeah, we might fuck up because we care deeply and sometimes, people with bad intentions prey on that. On our grief and our fear and our rage.
And I'm frankly a lot more nervous around people who refuse to be aware of that, especially when they loudly mock the people who are willing to acknowledge their own fallibility and explore how they got ensnared in something. People are not moral machines, they are people.

thinking about the way ramon said “fit and pac you should know” instead of anything else and i’m probably thinking way too hard into it but
either cucurucho knows or doesn’t know and either way ramon “wins” the conversation . some of the other eggs might have been outwardly hostile to cucurucho, but ramon is the only one who did not actually answer a single question with anything substantial except for when he said “you should know”, which could be seen as a very subtle challenge to the federation especially combined with what else he said
if cucurucho knows, this is nothing other than ramon being snarky . if cucurucho doesn’t know he can’t just say that, because isn’t the fed supposed to know everything about the islanders ? which honestly, i think that’s what ramon was going for, because he’s a smart boy and knows that according to the federation, his only parent is fit . maybe spreen if they’re being technical .
ramon doesn’t lose anything by including pac if cucurucho doesn’t know because everyone else does and honestly it’s a matter of time for pac signing the adoption papers . he’s not divulging anything that’s not common knowledge
and it’s not like cucurucho could tell ramon that pac wasn’t one of his parents because that’s not true . ask anyone on the island and they would all agree that he is . hell, i think there’s a good chance ramon has called pac pai more than he’s called fit dad . cucurucho really should know, shouldn’t he ?

"10-Year-Old Boy Gives Detectives Big Headache," Windsor Star. September 29, 1943. Page 5. ---- TOUGHEST CUSTOMER THEY EVER HAD, THEY SAY, AFTER BUSY AFTERNOON ---- By JEROME HARTFORD Juvenile delinquency?
Windsor police and juvenile enforcement officers here had enough of it yesterday afternoon to last them for weeks, and it was all wrapped up in a frozen-faced, surly, 10-year-old urchin who was tough as nails and half as pliable.
STOLE DOUGHNUTS He had been caught stealing doughnuts from a grocery store, smuggling them out of the store under his rain-proof coat which he kept draped over his arm. Once outside he handed the doughnuts to his younger sister who made off with them in the opposite direction to the one he took.
Among those who tried their hand at prying information from the boy were Detective Sergeant James Yokom and Detective Chris Paget, who brought him to headquarters; Inspector of Detectives Duncan Macnab, who took over when the detectives exhausted themselves; Fred R. Mills, superintendent of the Children's Aid Society, and James Burt, chief probation officer of the Windsor Juvenile Court.
RETALIATORY MEASURES The end of the story is that the boy was taken home and foisted upon his parents, who thought all along that he was at school. What retaliatory measures the urchin took against his parents for the discomfiture caused him by police was not learned. Perhaps his little sister would be the one to feel his wrath for not warning him that he was being watched. Certain it is that someone would suffer for his humiliating afternoon.
"What's your name?" the police had asked him.
"Find out," he had answered.
"Where do you live?" they had asked.
"In a house with the front door in front and the back door in back," had been his answer.
"What school do you go to?" they had inquired and he had answered with, "The little red schoolhouse."
He had cut them short when he wanted, given them an evasive answer when he felt like it, lied a few times when it was convenient, and finally had slipped into a nonchalant nod of the head one way or the other depending on which way he had nodded to the previous question.
INSPECTOR'S COMMENT "I've seen a lot of tough guys in my day," commented Inspector Macnab when he gave up on the boy, "but that kid was the toughest of them all."
"Just wait till he grows a little older," worried Detective Paget. "Are we going to have problems!"
"He knew 15 ways of telling us to go to hell," agreed Detective Sergeant Yokom, "all of them half-way polite."
"I've seen that kid somewhere before," said Mr. Mills. "I hope I don't see him again."
Chief Probation Officer James Burt merely shook his head and sorrowfully contemplated the days ahead.
PROBLEM AT SCHOOL The anti-social boy was finally taken to a school near where he had committed his theft. The principal of the school recognized him as one of his prize problems and said he would get to the bottom of his crime career. But the principal did not know of whom he spoke. The fish-eyed urchin surveyed him calmly and assumed a pose which said out loud, "there's nothing here I can't handle." And he was all too right.
But the principal was not entirely the loser. By a process of elimination. he traced down the boy's family name and then arrived at his first name and his address.
"Take him home," he directed police. "Take him out of here. I want to have fun with my truancy problems for awhile."
SAYS HE MOVED "I've moved," the boy announced, when the officers had him safely back in their car. "I live two blocks up farther than he told you. I'll show you the house."
Taking no chances, Detective Paget left the toughie with Detective Sergt. Yokom and went up to the house the boy had pointed out.
"Do he live here?" he asked the man who came to the door. "Yes," replied the man, and Detective Paget waved for the boy to come. The officer then identified himself and said that the boy who should have been at school had been caught stealing and had been taken to police headquarters. "We have him here," said Detective Paget, pointing to the casually advancing boy.
"THAT'S NOT MY BOY" "That's not my boy," came the reply and the effect that announcement had was a caution to behold.
Like a shot out of a gun, the casually advancing boy turned into a retreating flash and disappeared out of sight between the houses. Detective Paget gave chase and after considerable fence and hedge hopping up and down nearby alleys, came back with his disgruntled quarry and took him down the street to his proper address.
A hurried resume of the boy's activities was blurted out by the police to the urchin's parents and he was thrust through the open door and the officers made a bee-line for their car and sped away, anxious to enjoy their first moment's ease that afternoon.

Do you guys really believe that killing is the singular bad thing that cops do?
Or even that killing is the most frequent bad thing that cops do?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Are you saying that if cops didn't kill, then they'd be the same as Batman? Because then you're suggesting that effectively Batman already is a cop, with the exception that he hasn't killed (just like the majority of U.S. cops, who have never once shot or killed anybody).
I'm a bit worried to see opinions suggesting that only killing is wrong—and that violence, stalking, and humiliation are okay. In real-life, police commit countless acts of those "little" abuses, terrorizing entire communities, before they murder anybody.
Invading people's privacy is wrong. Hurting people to the point of hospitalization is wrong. Forcibly drugging people is wrong. Putting people in cages is wrong. Torture and "enhanced interrogation" are wrong. Ambushing people in their homes and safe places is wrong. Keeping inexhaustible wealth is wrong.
Superhero comics are power fantasies. Not all fantasies need to reflect our ideology in reality. But once you apply your real-life values to fiction, once you decide that fiction showcases exemplary real-life ideology—then your praise for Batman's ideology does become a worrying reflection of your real-life understanding of social issues.

I don't want to judge the Ravenbrooks police system and folks much...yet. but uh- Trinity going back to school isn't gonna be the morning after episode 6, right?
I think if I,
1. Got hit in the head with a shovel
2. Had to save my friends from a creepy basement
3. Get violently grabbed and dragged back across the street by the same man who trapped me in his basement
4. Woke up to my window open and a note on me with a threat against my life
5. Saw a BIRD MAN run out of my house
And then the next morning my parents were like "okay kiddo time for school!" I'd die. I'd die right on the spot.
