Alt text: a screenshot of a microblog post with the text "you walking down an alleyway with a gram of weed in your pocket, who would you rather catch you?" Below are two pictures side by side. One of Kamala Harris and the other of Batman.

I didn't remove it for being wrong, I removed it for supporting oppressive systems. Rule 2

Now I'm removing this one for being uncivil and rude. Rule 3

How was my first comment supportive of oppressive systems? Saying a prosecutor can't unilaterally decide weed isn't a crime doesn't mean I support prosecuting it. I don't think she's the best but at least leave up reasonable comments.

"She was just doing her job" isn't a defense when her job was literally that of the oppressor.
