Did you seriously just post that to someone getting their head bashed in?

...I'm gonna ask for explanation on this post, because it seems in incredibly poor taste, on the surface.

That poor concrete.

Like, I've gotta double post, here.

In a disturbing video captured by CNN, Professor Caroline Fohlin approached several police officers as they wrestled one protester to the ground, forcefully shoving their head into the concrete sidewalk. Oh my God, what are you doing? Fohlin asked, horrified.
Fohlin yelled at the officers to get away from the student. She leaned down closer to the student, but did not touch them, or any of the officers.
One cop raced up to her, grabbing her wrists. Get on the fucking ground, he yelled, pulling her away from the student. Get on the ground, I said, he repeated.
Fohlin opened her mouth to protest as the officer kept his grip locked on her wrist. Do not, Im a ... she said, before the cop violently flipped her onto the ground, smashing her head into the sidewalk.

This is what you're saying "That poor concrete" to. What the fuck?

Even as sarcasm that is in insanely bad taste. Even as a joke that is in insanely bad taste.

Like, just because you literally have the ability to type something doesn't mean that it's always kosher.

Did you forget that people get modded for joking about shit like this
Some psychopath with a legally purchased AR-15 is blasting kids in their classroom while these guys cower outside for more than an hour. Some middle aged member of academia admonishes them for disproportionate force against peaceful protesters and they slam her down and wrench her arm behind her back.

To serve and protect, indeed.

he's saying aww poor concrete because she's being charged for her head assaulting a sidewalk

seemed rather obvious

That's not obvious at all, since she's being charged for assaulting a police officer, which she didn't do.

When somebody says "That poor concrete," the obvious reaction is going to be "This person is saying the concrete suffered from being touched by X," since that's how that comment is typically used.

I'm not doubting that was the intention, but... Yikes, you gotta do it a lot better than that.

Her head is definitely slammed into the concrete twice, once when he takes her down, and once when the second cop jumps on her.

Simp harder.

If you can't tell why people aren't immediately saying the things that they said on the other post then it's on you.

what? that would be the most ridiculous interpretation ever. concrete obviously has no feelings and can't suffer.

Which is precisely why it's a meme. The point is "That poor inanimate object/concept/whatever," which is devaluing the life of the person in question. That's why it's typically used against awful people, and why it caused confusion in this topic.

Our law enforcement system is broken. People like this should NOT, under any circumstances, be allowed to wear a badge.

And this whole situation is getting very scary, very quick. Clay is right, eventually, something is going to give, and it's going to be horrifying.

Yeah, Jesus Christ, classic CE.

If they're charging her with battery when they're the ones beating her, it makes no sense. It's like they're saying that she assaulted the concrete with her head, or that she assaulted their hands when they wrestled her to the ground. It's like when people say that Russian dissidents attacked a 3rd story window or assaulted some bullets with their head, they're not supporting Putin, they're making fun of the absurdity of oppression.

Those are drastically more overt, and in the current climate of MAGA(GOP) just outright using bullhorns to say the 'quiet parts'...

I appreciate the explanation, but I feel like the fact that multiple people took what you said as meaning the traditional meme meaning suggests you worded it incredibly poorly, and is not a "classic CE" scenario.

Nah, I buy their explanation. They certainly don't have an iffy post history. I just feel like blaming CE isn't the answer, here, since "Poor X" is a known meme that is 99% used to devalue the person, and so more tact needs to be used, because it obviously elicits a certain response.

Meanwhile, you certainly have a much more questionable history...

I'm not pointing out "both sides", I'm highlighting my surprise at the difference in the comments. What do I think about it? Seems like an abuse of power.

The same thing happened to me. Clearly, I was being sarcastic. But I am going to speak less on any hot topic.

Yeah I agree. He absolutely needed to explain it but when he did it made sense.

I don't think anyone here really read it the way he intended.
