Law Enforcement Reform: A rational discussion

Of course I read your initial post where you said Simpson was guilty. Why you are now pretending that I am not acknowledging that is strange to say the very least. My exception with you is your assertion that Furman planted evidence. Since you didnt respond to what I actually said, I will repeat it in order to give you a chance to respond to what I actually said...

I dont think anyone wants to really get into the weeds concerning the OJ case. Like I said...you are entitled to your opinion.

The notion that a cop is going to quickly frame a beloved celebrity long before all facts are known simply does not seem even remotely plausible to me. It is my belief that your opinion represents a false narrative. It is my belief that the notion that there is some sort of systemic racism leading to an inordinate number of blacks being killed by police is an equally false narrative.

 

Within a blink of a eye. They would politicize a bowl
of Cheerios, if they though it would benefit them.

 

What do gang bangers, murderers, and robbers do about meter readers? Crossing guards? Street sweepers?

Try reading and understanding.

Then, once you've gone back and read, maybe a rational discussion can be had. I doubt that you've ever had a rational discussion or would be willing to have one but miracles do happen.

 

If you're not looking for an argument about guns then why bring it up in the context of "they better not?"

Sorry, that's for a different thread. Last one.

 

Return to the topic please. If you want an extended discussion of Simpson, start a thread.

 

Do meter maids, crossing guards, and street sweepers arrest gang badgers, and what not?

 

Meter readers and crossing guards aren’t expected to stop them for the actual police to arrive.

If you expect these people to handle disputes or be traffic police, what are they going to do when they pull a violent criminal for an expired tag and he’s high on PCP or meth with an illegal firearm in the vehicle and he doesn’t want to go back to jail?

 

This thread isnt about drugs either. Should I have avoided mentioning drugs too?

 

No.

Guess what?

Police spend 95% of their time NOT ARRESTING ANYONE!

 

Try rereading the material and posting again.

Your post is nonsensical and non-responsive.

It shows the reading comprehension of a 4th grader and that political acumen of a rabid Lester Maddox supporter.

 

Blah blah blah.

You asserted that he would go on patrol but if he saw a crime he’d call it in. So if he sees someone being assaulted by a gangbanger he just sits there and watches while he waits for the real cops?

If he sees someone being raped he just hangs out at a distance and waits for real cops to get there?

 

You and I have been having a conversation. That IS the topic of OUR conversation. For that matter, I did not bring up Simpson, YOU did. It is not my fault that you have not represented your position very well. Don't be mad bro.

 

Are you saying the officer needs a gun to write a parking ticket?
That being a crossing guard requires mace?
Your willful refusal to understand reflects badly on whatever specious argument you're attempting.

 

Don’t worry I’m getting to the point. So in crime ridden areas they’re essentially worthless?

So in crime ridden areas like... lots of predominantly minority areas, we would still need a heavy police presence wouldn’t we?

 

Yes, to illustrate a RELEVANT point.

If you want to discuss Simpson, start a thread.

 

No.

They have phones, cameras...what they don't have is a need to escalate.

 

Even if your assertions were completely true, which they aren't, how on earth would you go about changing your gigantic heterogeneous system?

 

I have already demonstrated the folly in your position. My work here is done.

 

By starting.
Longest journey single step and all that.
If you think it can't be done...you're right. Called self fulfilling prophesy.

 

The quality of any conversation is improved with your absence.

 

I don’t understand. How do you expect excessively high crime, drug ridden gang territories to be policed?

 

Is that why you keep humping my leg rather than simply moving on?

 

You refuse to understand. There is a difference between don't and won't.

The answer to your question?

DIFFERENTLY

That is the whole idea.

 

How do you keep a moron in suspense?

 

Wtf does differently mean? Specifically, how do you expect to police high crime areas differently?
