Re:Ask HN: Is there a way to stop Google hijacking the URL?

You could use another search engine. Though, if you really want to use google you can open the article in another tab. That should give you the correct url.

It’s not surprising that the person who encouraged police brutality[1] and is a racist[2] teamed up with the racist police.

Given how much trump lies and spins the truth to suit his purpose[1], I don’t think it would make a difference.

It seems like it would be either illegal or a really bad idea to use google docs or even gmail as a lawyer. It seems like you could be opening yourself up to a lawsuit for breaching attorney client privilege since google can scan every document and email created or stored on its platform.

There needs to be systematic reform. We can start with the demilitarization of the police, independent investigations, the end of qualified immunity, psychological evaluations, and harsher punishments for police. We also need to change the way the police and legal system interact. Right now, police are being protected by the legal system because courts depend on them too much.

Google “Dane Cook the friend that nobody likes”. That is the origin of Karen. Nothing sexist or racist about it.

Karen is simply that friend that nobody likes. Karen is a douchebag. Google “Dane Cook the friend nobody likes”. That is the origin of “Karen”

Ha! They break the laws already in place to terrorize people. Adding a new one won’t change it. We need systematic reform.

They are still on the force. The union said they aren’t going to pay their legal fees for the protests so 57 officers quit the emergency response team. They are still being paid to terrorize people.

The loss of balance happens when someone uses excessive force and pushes a person.
He never reached for any weapon. Take a better look.

The officer should be arrested. If a normal citizen was caught on video doing the same thing they would be in jail that night.
It is sickening police can get away with whatever they want.
I think it is time to bring in the coast guard!

The legal system relies on police for testimonies, carrying out warrants for evidence, among other things. Because of this the legal system protects them unless the public is outrage.
Right now, police are legally allowed to bully the communities they serve. Not all police do, but the problem is normal citizens have no recourse to hold them accountable when they do. The system in place is evil for allowing such behavior to go unpunished and needs to be changed.

They take a job to protect the community. That would seem they are accepting the danger that comes with the job, but for the low low price of a gun they are passing that danger on to you! Yay!
Right now, cops are legal bullies that we have to suffer under.

I disagree. Police should never be the aggressors, and force should be proportional. Otherwise, they are legal bullies.
