Blackwolf is a new ride sharing app that has all of the same problems of the old ride sharing apps but also your driver has a gun

"what if your Uber driver had a gun" is probably the worst pitch for a service in the history of mankind.

Hence what, fourteen billion in first round funding or something?

What if I told you he was also guaranteed to be a cop.

Great, so, #Blackwolf drivers are: * Selected from a populations with radically higher rates of committing sexual assault,... * ...who are likely to be carrying a gun... * ...& who, if they're COPS, will also likely be impossible to prosecute. This is actually a liability win for the company.🤷

Re Liability, see: bsky.app/profile/iams...
Cities pay out huge settlements regularly because cops misbehave while the cops skate because of qualified immunity. A corporation employing them would be in either the same or a worse position as the cities.

The company could still be sued, so not really a liability win.

Sure, they could be sued (assuming there's nothing in the TOS to preclude that), but could the plaintiff win? Is any American court likely to find that only hiring cops is a security-negative?

Being too awesome, or so he assures me.

A lot of cops have a side hustle like this. Google "40% of cops" to learn more!
Avatar
What? Really?? Well it’s not for the money, they already get it all *shudder* 😬

You might want to Google it. Also the highest paid patrol officer in my city makes ~350k iirc
Avatar
And off-duty cops retain their police privileges. We allow business etc to purchase police enforcement directly. It is crazy.

we put “wolf” in the name to make women feel safe DID TEX AVERY DIE IN VAIN?

That “wolf” is in the name of this murder/kidnap business is really on the nose. Whoever wrote Season 2024 is just phoning it in.

We will not stand for such calumny against our lupine comrades

Very true. I would much rather be in a car with an actual wolf.

You would legit be safer with a wolf than a "wolf."
Avatar
Srsly, the wolf would be spending the whole time looking for angles to get away from you. "Why am I stuck in this box with a human? Oh shit does it have a gun?" (My 1st reaction to bear discourse was a black bear thinking "shit this MFing human is gonna ruin my day, isn't he?")

My friend Richard got fired from Lyft because one of his fares said he had a gun. I'll let hi know about this.

When you get it in the car, instead of a little bottle of water the driver offers you a small gun to hold during the ride

“Imagine having a driver that treats you like family”. I don’t feel like a 40% chance of ending up in an ER, thanks.

Honestly? I would feel better with Average Joe/Jane Uber Driver having a firearm than these guys.

I could legally defend myself against an Uber driver, I can’t against a cop, not without entering a prison I won’t survive because I am trans and wouldn’t want to survive it anyway.
