    You know as well as I do that I would have no problem showing a plethora of videos of instances where a violent reaction by a cop was necessitated and his OBLIGATION to carry out.

    So let’s just skip that part and you tell me why people would still choose to be cops when you take that away from them?

    And more will want to be thugs - rob, kill etc.. as it will be less risky business as police pull back

    The worst possible job working for a DA is being assigned to the division or office that handles child predation, child abuse, sex crimes against children and which prosecutes members of NAMBLA. Very sickening and I don't know how they do it. I got an insight while serving for six months on a grand jury. Burning in Hell forever in unbearable torment had better be real -- because it is just.

    Oh baloney....most cops are good, decent people who do NOT believe they can kill willy nilly…they do NOT wish to be lawless "dominating" thugs..

    There are still engineers after bridges collapse. There are still car manufacturers after design flaws kill drivers. There are still doctors after patients die from mistakes.

    There will still be cops because they are needed but like everyone else with Freedom comes restrictions.

    Uh, I have seen cops in action many times and they aren't always violent...uh,duh, their job is to stop violence not encourage it...


    But don't complain if you're beaten to a pulp when you get your next speeding ticket...the cop was just doing his job :) :)



    I did in the post of mine YOU quoted.

    But if you wish cops to have total control of you and be your judge , jury, and executioner I don't think I could ever change your mind.

    Suppose I wanna get a kilo of meth and sell it in small pieces to your kids until their teeth start to rot and they lose interest in everything other than getting more meth.

    If you're not cool with that, you need cops and prisons to stop me and people like me.

    This is about police culture.

    For most of our history there was no "warrior cop" culture.

    We want to attract people that want to help, and discourage those that want to harm. That's called sanity.

    "A police officer is 18-and-a-half times more likely to be killed by a black person than the other way around. Do some police officers do the wrong thing? Yes. They’re always going to exist because they’re human beings. And sometimes human beings suck…society is not perfectible." Candace Owens.

    Officer Robert McKeithen of Biloxi was changing a flat on his cruiser around 2:00 a.m. in the parking lot of the main station last spring. A 19-year old black man snuck up on him from behind and put nine rounds in his back. He never knew what hit him. He was not killed for any particular thing -- he was simply a law enforcement officer and a target of opportunity in the war against police by blacks. If it had not been McKeithen it would have been the next target of opportunity.

    The trial is coming up and the man will get his soon. It was on video camera. No way out for the thug.

    It's amazing people still sign up and go through the academy, even though it is rare to have racial trouble here.

    That won’t happen because I don’t resist arrest. I’m fully aware that during the arrest fighting or resisting cops can get me shot and is not the time or place to fight my arrest.

    Only a very, very few women and far fewer men have ever successfully tried their case on the roadside.

    As physically ugly and big boned as I am I would never attempt it. I'm definitely not among the glib and personable who can sell ice to Eskimos. I look like a threat. I'm not but that doesn't matter.

    LOL!!! Ya, give police free reign to be as violent as they choose and THAT won't happen ?!?....:roll::roll:


    BTW, Floyd wasn't resisting arrest no matter what YOU say....and many many people have been beaten and killed while NOT resisting arrest...some day having white skin won't save people..

    Except literally not one person is suggesting that. We are suggesting allow the cops to do their jobs and crack down on criminals and if they go too far prosecute them and put them in jail.

    ETA Learn how to format your posts so other people don’t have to do it for you.

    ….but only certain ones ;)….and no, you seemed to be advocating for cops to be more violent.....but when I pointed out that it can go two ways you're backing off :)


    Good idea, that's what is happening :)

    I’m not backing off anything I’ve said l. In fact the police should be as violent as necessary against those groups committing the violent crime.

    Btw Floyd was high on meth and was clearly trying to keep from being controlled by the officer as evidenced by him trying to pull his arms from around his back while cuffed. You can even see the officer telling him to stop. Floyd was probably crying because his cuffs were too tight. But given his violent drug addled past they should have been tight.

    I guess you'll never believe the REAL facts of what happened....there's those "tinted" glasses getting in the way....

    :) Only YOUR video....the law has the perp in jail charged with murder....still think you're right?

    BTW, I noticed the color of the skin of the "ones" who you think need to be met with violence ….very predictable....but again, be careful what you wish for.....skin color may not matter if cops get more and more power... ;)

    Skin color doesn’t matter. Being a dumbass who resists arrests does.

    And btw if the entirety of the white population today can be held liable for discrimination by discrimination white people in the past, then why isn’t the entirety of the black population today responsible for the violent crime black people commit today?

    Do you believe the entire white population should be held responsible for the slave trade?
    No?
    Then why do you think the entire black population should be held responsible for crime?
    Do you think every black person knows every other black person?
    Do you think a black nurse in Seattle should have to babysit a black guy in Detroit?

    No that’s my point. We shouldn’t do those things. But if we are going to do it for white people and slavery or Jim Crowe then I see no justifiable reason we shouldn’t do it for black people and violent crime.

    You can. But you can’t rape, murder and assault people with one.

    Good?

    Anarchy probably seems more fun in a freshman dorm room getting high than it does when you are trying to protect your wife and children from murderous mobs.

    Yeah there would be some sort of order eventually, although Negan's Saviors from 'The Walking Dead" wasn't intended as a model to organize society.

    Well those are probably not going to be the options. More likely dangerous servitude, and it won't be a preference.
