I approve of angry goats harassing police and suggest the addition of angry geese

[–] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Nah. Geese aren't mean enough. Get swans involved. Those fuckers will fight anything and are gigantic. Saw a swan drown a Canada goose for absolutely no reason once. It was brutal.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Seconded! The swan is the national bird of Denmark. Officially something about a voting process 40years ago on TV. But unofficially we were just really scared of the bird and tried appeasing it.

Did you know that a swan can break your arm?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Lmao you gotta appease the swans, because to them, violence was never an option.

I don't doubt that a swan can fuck you up big time.

I used to row (in the UK) and agree. Swans are fucking terrifying and give zero fucks. I accidentally hit one with my oar once. I’ve been marked ever since. 👀

My grandmother's only negative story about the war, in which both her school and home were destroyed by bombers, was about the fucking swans she had to deal with in the countryside after being evacuated.

This is the birth of a supervillain who trains birds to attack people in police uniforms.

I would use crows. There are many cases showing crows hold grudges, have facial recognition, and will teach other crows. It's perfect. Plus they may bring gifts and trinkets

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

Crows are based.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So ...we wear a blank face mask hoping they focus in the uniform and them systematically harass/adjust m abuse crows in a police uniform and hope they take the hint?

Doesn't seem feasible without also getting slammed for impersonating the po-po, sadly...

I love the idea, just you go first

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I was thinking more we befriend the crows and anyone they see as a threat they would attack because they will protect their food source. I would prefer not to harass them.

Like that story about the lady who befriended the local crows but then they started attacking everyone that came near her house. Then the neighbors started to feed them too and the crows ended up looking out for the neighborhood.

I would imagine if every neighborhood did this then the crows would see the cops as a threat to be harassed, especially if the cops threaten the people that feed them. Probably not as great as comrade goat but hey, I think crows could make good allies lol

That's amazing that they're flexible about it - I'd not credited them with nearly enough intelligence!

Comrade Crow, vol. 1: An Attempted Murder

This would be a super hero’s arch. A supervillain would be a cop doing this to attack minorities and the disabled.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Villain originally meant "villager". Look at the superheroes we've got - they overwhelmingly work with the police.

I say villain in this context to mean a criminal, an opponent of the status quo. Like the good guys from The Boys.

Can we get the orcas after these bastards too?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

They're busy planning their attacks on yachts. But seriously, how come wild animals are doing more to fight the power? We're being out-based by fuckin orcas and goats.

Everyone wants the goosestep until the goose comes for you.

I can’t be the only one surprised that the goat didn’t get shot

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago

Do you think the goat is an idiot ? He too bought a gun.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

It wasn't a human being or someones beloved dog, so I'm not surprised.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Especially since it's a brown goat.

The goat was just dealing with some baaaaaaaaaaad apples

Best comment:

Cops need more training in how to deal with kids

I wonder which incident it's too soon to make the obvious joke about 🫢

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

That we both know for sure that there is one without even having heard about it yet is quite illustrative of the sheer scope of the problem..

GOATed goat

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

So what you're saying is, we send goats at the police.

I'm okay with this plan.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

All goats are bastards.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

That goat is a red spy!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

That'll probably be in next update of goat simulator
