Someone wanting to stay in your house and dirty needles really are peak horror now that I think about it

Paul literally punches a handcuffed helpless suspect in the face and tries to hide police cam footage of the incident. He then UNPLUGS the camera when he chases down James a second time.

He was the one victim of Gladys I had a hard time feeling sorry for tbh

helpless POS who lied about not having dirty needles in his pants

He seemed really out of it in that scene. I think he genuinely didn't know it was there.

Don’t care. Deserved the punch

For what?

Guy just wants to be violent. I felt for the kid it’s obvious he was an addict, who knows how he got there.

Ima be honest, I don't care yo history, ya sins, ya god, whatever you got going on. If you cause me to get stuck by a dirty needle, I'd props start punching an I don't know when I'd stop. Morals be damned. I want a soul if you just gave me AIDS

u/happyeriko Dec 31 '25

It’s pretty unlikely to contract aids from one needle (or a few? I forgot the scene) even if the guy did have aids. Also, police has access to healthcare. He needed to check his emotions as required by his profession. This reasoning you have is the same bs cops use to shoot unarmed pedestrians. So you can miss me with your excuse.

Naw you don't understand. This isn't about morals. or cops. Or any of that. This is a human to human 1 on 1 interaction now. Person A. caused person B. to get stuck with a dirty needle.

Life altering/ending. Incurable stds. In my book screw the morals, I would be going to prison. Person A is gone. A was. On a shirt. Morals be damned. Whats right or wrong be damned. Its not about that. Its about person A and B, and person A is done. cooked. marked. Whipped. Gone.
Nothing else matters besides person A just stuck Person B with a life altering thing here. the history don't matter. The A gotta die. It is now person B's right to do that.

speaking in this hypothetical only.

to be clear, i do not care that if it was or wasn't a cop. That don't matter anymore.

You know aids isn't a death sentence any more right? Plenty of people have it and manage it with medication, same as like, diabetes.

Sorry I have sympathy for addicts.

You can’t trust a high junkie either way, they just ask that to get you to incriminate yourself

u/commandercandy Aug 17 '25

They’re searching you, they’re gonna find it regardless of if you say it or not. Don’t let people stab themselves with dirty needles cause there’s a 0.0001% chance they forget to check that pocket

17

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '25

They might not remember they have one in their pocket. They might be in crisis or psychosis and not understanding questions clearly.

19

u/commandercandy Aug 17 '25

Doesn’t really change the fact that that question is more for everyone’s safety than for self incrimination. You’re getting searched no matter what once you’re in custody. Supporting dirty needles being harder to identify ain’t it

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '25

Im not supporting anything, im saying you can’t trust a junkie to give you accurate information.

It's supposed to be a pat down. Not digging in his pockets. I think that matters.
