A thought is in your head, you dunce

expressed thought

is literally what i literally wrote

You can't threaten someone with a thought

asswipe

when some random teenage sperg says someone should die, its not an issue

"she should die" isn't a threat

You have to express a thought of killing someone before it can be considered a threat

Joker those standards are basically "if you get caught you dun goofed"

Yeah, that's how it works

those are really slippery standards

If you don't get caught, you were lucky

one tends to see it differently when it comes from a person endowed with rights and responsibilities regarding public safety and use of force

Doesn't make it right, but at least you didn't get caught

I KNOW THATS HOW IT WORKS THATS WHY IM TALKING TO YOU TO SAY IT SHOULDNT BE LIKE THAT

obviously it works like that

tehy got fired

You're arguing if it's being said in private, then it's ok

@Jokerfaic yeah you get fuck if you're in any public service sharing anything

So a death threat is ok if you say it in private

expressing that you think someone should die isn't a death threat

just seems kinda dumb if the person could prove they thought it was real for them to still get punished this severely

this was your actual argument 5 minutes ago banana sucker

I'm not sure why you keep bringing up whether or not the officer knew her comments were real. that seriously has no bearing on the matter

I'm confused, what's your argument

and calling it flatly a threat is a bit of a stretch, but just openly wishing death on someone is a split-hair difference

If a citizen said it, I would let it pass. Not cool, but whatever.
If a police officer says it, and against a politician on top of that, that's a serious problem.

split hair differences is what made the West

And saying "she needs a round" can definitely be considered a threat. Especially against a politician.

And not levelling action against the officer just because it was said in *mild* confidence is kinda how conspiracies form

I would out an officer who says this immediately

I'd be majorly concerned for people's safety

What of they were waving whisky at the same time

what evidence would you use to persuade someone that the context was that which was under the intent of actually threatening someone with death? or are you a mind reader?

That could be considered mitigating circumstance I guess @Spacejumper

Well again, I'm hesitant to use the word threat

The other thing is it can refer to having a drink. Same thing as loosen up

"she needs a round" being said by a police officer about a politician, both from the same country, does not sound like a threat to you? @Fresh

no

but it must remain clear that we're discussing a member of law enforcement
