Me: #acab
Also me: "hello, is this metropolitan police? I have just seen a woman assaulted as I was passing such and such stop in the bus"
Fedi, help to consolidate
My attempt at consolidation: acab, but we live in a society where police exists, so getting them to do something to stop the violence against a female is a valid thing to do? Basically, using bad people to stop worse people? 🤔
@jonn
Well who else are you gonna call?
A hitman?
@g0xmkamovz I could have gotten out of the bus with some other males and beaten the fucker up!
@jonn
Seems like that would be unlikely to work (I'd expect people on the bus to be trying to go somewhere), and result in any participants being targets for the police 🤔
@g0xmkamovz first issue is a commentary on the society. I would rather go to a place where assaulting women, queer people, minorities (or anyone, really) is immediately punished rather to the Ritz.
Second commentary is sadly true. Although, the UK has the citizens arrest law as far as I know. The guideline as I understand it based on the interactions I had with the bobbies is "if you can detain a perpetrator while being convinced that it's safe for you to do, you can do so and detain them while waiting for the police". I'll have to check ·•°the law°•·
