first off:
Ashley Cummins, who is now a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter who fights under the name “Smashley,”
“Smashley” is an awesome name
Cummins also said that, one time, another officer intentionally failed to search a homicide suspect for a weapon and didn’t tell her, putting her in danger, according to KNSD. In another incident, she was told to leave a crime scene for no reason. Sometimes, other officers would just yell at her over the police radio.
fucking freaks. and not the fun kind.
Looks like the men felt threatened. Ashley Smashley Cummins was too badass for them. MMA fighter and cop? Damn she is cool.
Men specifically are susceptible to feeling threatened by women in a position of power. (Hence why so many cultures and religions prevent women from having a higher status than men) And amre much more likely to look for ways to make the person seem less like a threat. Popular methods include sexual objectification and bullying in the workplace. Negligence and passive homicide are extreme though.
I believe one of the studies (but I am quoting a Tumblr post) showed that higher skilled males had no issues with even higher skilled women, but low skill males became hostile to the presence of women in spaces.
Yeah. It’s the relative status and how we detect an “easy target.” If it is smaller and/or female, it is an easy target to dominate. Which usually involves bluffing or taking food in chimps, but can turn to violence. Females who are too assertive are killed. Plus, females do it too. Just less so as they generally have more to lose and less means to win with. I’d say we came a long way, but not long enough.
Once again someone takes what I’m saying all the way to left field
All these companies trying to end DEI are the same ones who keep having lawsuits against them for discrimination and harassment.
It’s almost like they forgot that they rolled out the DEI system to protect themselves from lawsuits.
Regulations are often a substitute for litigation.
And litigation is a substitute for what the law euphemistically refers to as “self help” where someone uses violence or the threat of violence as a remedy for perceived wrongs.
Fuck yeah, get them racks! If the city pays enough out of its ass to set someone up for life because their employees are ignorant shitbags, maybe they’ll do something about the diversity, equity, and inclusivity of the people they hire going forward.
Or y’know, don’t, and keep making people rich be being fucking stupid.
There is one fundamental truth to the privatization brainlet scheme, that “the city” doesn’t actually care about the budget because it’s not their money.
It’s the money of everyone that lives there.
Budget not balanced? Raise taxes or cut services. Will anyone explicitly link it to cops being pigs? No, they just won’t, that’s not how human brains work.
This is just one of the reasons qualified immunity has to end or be severly restricted.
I’m not gay, but if someone gives me 10M$? Maybe that changes things.
I hope she stops being a cop now.
She’s a mma fighter now.
She was working in the mud with some goons.
