Does anyone else not seriously think WTF? when seeing pictures like these of US Cops...at a PROTEST? People are leaving their houses in anguish over the government and they're being faced with this. Wtf kind of democracy is that? I don't see how all of America hasn't realized how ridiculous this is yet. Doesn't matter what political party you're in, when you see shit like this being done to your own fellow citizens, human beings, it should infuriate and scare the shit out of you.

And in case you need a story behind the picture just to make it worse...

So did they actually hurt people besides being armored from head to feet?

You mean like this from one of the Occupy Oakland demonstrations?

That is total bullshit, that was completely uncalled for.

See the link at the bottom. There has also been teargassing, hitting with buttons here in NYC.

Ahh... this looks like the thread for me. Police forces are the first line of defense in the event of a revolution (which is why we didn't have one until the late 1800's: no one wanted a standing military). Considering no one is going to be revolting anytime soon as we're not allowed to have weapons that remotely match theirs, they have to find something to do. Might as well beat up the nice protesters so as to send a message to people like me.

Are you saying that you should be allowed to have weapons that match theirs?

Oakland is a culture of people who hate the police. Police are so brainwashed in fear of being attacked that they are obviously not fit to handle the situation they are presented with here because they mistake it for being hostile. Big cities in general have scared police and scared police makes for rash police.

Would you be a police officer in Oakland? Do you think you will do a better job? You can do something about it. You are a citizen too, just like police officers are. Only you probably aren't risking your life every day which makes you less understanding of the position they are in.

I would wish for the police officers to be like the ones in Hot Fuzz.

And whenever I see police officers armored to the toe, I just watch them afar with my 10" telescope.

The majority are morons; I couldn't care less whether they were displeased or not.

It can effectively make it significantly easier to solve things.

Let's have everyone carry M16 rifles around for the greater good of the population... Just in case some heavily-armored policemen turn around the corner!

Around here police officers harrass refugees and other's with different skin color than white.
They also protect only the rich. Let us poor suffer.

I love how you guys act surprised when you see police brutality and violation of civil rights. You act like
its something new.

But really, all that anyone ever does is stand on the sidelines and criticize. "Oh look at that, that just isn't right."

There is a war comming in this country, and I look forward to it.

I am not an enemy of the government, but I am prepared when the government becomes the enemy.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
