Just another day in the gun paradise of the world.

The American policeman's job in the US is to generate revenue and take reports. nothing else. If they happen to solve a crime, bonus points in the media. Want proof, 20-30% of police departments are admin staff, no actual police work, less then 20% are on major crimes, special task units and the remainder (60+%) are patrol officers directed to issue tickets (revenue) and take reports.

That’s funny!

Holy fuck, someone is long winded and copypasta crazy

copy/paste only from my own posts, blogging etc... from other platforms. And unfortunately just saying "No" without any supporting links, observations, etc tends to devolve a debate into logical fallacies of both ideologies..... where as those that don't know anything or refuse to follow the science/evidence, etc will be comfortable with their one word retorts (I am not changing those close-minded individuals or groups), but does give others (watching the arguments) something to think about or research on their own. In my facebook/blogging, news organization "Comments Boards" I hae received PM's thanking me for the material (sometimes its even changed minds, others just a different perspective). So the extra effort to keep my writings and copy/paste to this forum may not change your mind, but it may open someone else's eyes to the facts.

When I went to Idaho people leave their keys in the ignition, all their stuff in the bed of their trucks etc. When I went to get my bag they asked do you want to change your clothes? I said is it safe leaving it out? They looked at me like I was crazy. They have no crime. I asked do you have blacks here? they said blacks? we had one once but he started stealing and the mexicans chased him out of town.

Not everyone lives in places like Idaho or where you live. Here the police is so corrupt they wont respond, and if they do it is because they know the criminal will give them a bribe and they will never even reach the police station. In my community of 500 homes we already had 2 break-ins with murders. I think yanks call thyem home invasions. If you lived in our shoes, would you want everyone disarmed except the criminals?

Yes our communities are that lawless.

Maybe you should move to a better community?

might note at the outset that police departments as we know them are conspicuous in their absence from almost all of human history. Indeed, upon the introduction of modern police forces, they were met with suspicion and resistance, regarded as incompatible with traditional freedoms. Policing as we know it emerges only in the modern era, embedded in a broader system of government associated with high modernism.

That the establishment of professional policing was not even intended to protect citizens and/or their rights rather than simply providing a means of state oppression geared to politicians and "class" interests. The history of professional policing mics the history and attempts of the anti-civil liberties control freaks to violently control, marginalize and underprivileged—the history of creating and maintaining parallel legal and judicial systems, with a second class of citizens defined by race and economic station.

As Alex S. Vitale writes in The End of Policing, “It is largely a liberal fantasy that the police exist to protect us from the bad guys.” Liberal thought about police is a proxy for their thought about the state and political power more generally, the idea being that their use of force is legitimate and in service to the greater good. As a matter of historical fact, though, the police and the state power they represent have preyed upon the people far more than they have protected them and seem to have been instituted for just those predatory purposes. The primary purpose of government‐operated professional policing has been to enforce social control and discipline through fear and systematic violence, to protect a particular political and economic status quo.

I would be opposed to any alert system that might cause people to flock towards a scene, potentially blocking roads responders need.

Yes, because I was really interested to hear the background on your bullshit...thanks

The problem with the police is they are reactive not so much proactive. One can truly be dead, mugged, robbed, or beaten to death, by the time they arrive.

or all of that just happens when they arrive and they do it to you themselves.

or, on a rare occasion, they do it to themselves.

and the bestest and smarterest part about them is they'll keep on getting billyuns of dollarinos every year to keep on being general money drains that do not stop crime.

they can't even be a preventive fantasy measure anymore. that old narrative is ghost and it ain't ever coming back, especially as more and more people continue seeing how they fuck up.

Why were officers and not mental health experts doing the outreach to Sundberg during the standoff? It’s likely that the shots fired early on deeply influenced the police response, said James Densley, a professor at the School of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice at Metropolitan State University.
“Whether it's police aggression or community aggression, the presence of a firearm is a game changer,” Densley said. “It's the reason why there's a reluctance to send a mental health worker or a social worker or a de-escalation specialist to a situation like this because there's a very real prospect they will get shot and killed.”
“We've just spent a number of years calling for community based alternatives to police, but whenever there are guns present, the fallback is we need a law enforcement response,” Densley said.
The omnipresence of firearms in American society likely leads law enforcement to act more aggressively than needed when confronting civilians, Densley said. But the prospect of a mass shooting situation where an officer is shot and killed likely looms in the minds of the law enforcement officials who are deciding on tactics like the use of snipers or how long to continue negotiations during an armed standoff, he added.

Once again here's the attempt at showing the exception as being the rule.

Actually, Harpy, here is the unabashed lunacy:

1) Thinking that the "well regulated militia" specified in the 2nd Amendment is a bunch of angry incels or white supremacist groups.

2) Thinking that women in America are going to put up with a right-wing form of Sharia Law with regard to their bodies.

The overturning of recent decisions by Trump justices will take a while, but it will happen, because those decisions are in fact "unabashed lunacy".

Now get back to your actual areas of expertise, chasing ambulances and worshipping right-wing media outlets.

I don't "think" anything of the sort. Instead, I follow the dictates of the US Supreme Court when they made the decision based on a review of the history of the US both legally and socially. That you disagree only shows that you refuse to obey the law as written. There's not much in that to show anything socially redeeming on your part.

You can believe that the decisions will be overturned all you want. If and until they are, they're currently the law and your spitefulness won't change that one single tiny bit.

You just ruined our visions of american police.

Liberal view: 10% are out hunting blacks to shoot for no reason except walking while black. 90% are out harassing blacks and arabs only because of their race with no other reason. They dont commit more crime, it is only that they are persecuted more because 100% of police are racist.

My view: 50% are in doughnut shops expanding their bellies. 40% are manning speed traps. 10% are really great guys that I would get along very well with. They are probably the ones out arresting or apprehending criminals, who are largely black, like that Floyd and all the other scum people must take a knee for, arrested or shot while committing crime, resisting arrest with a long record, and made out to be Negro Theresa, killed for no reason.

You forgot 70% are too friggin' fat or out of shape to run down a bad guy.

It's no wonder you turned out to be such a hack in the legal profession. I never said anything about refusing "to obey the law as written". Your presumption would get torn apart by any opposing counsel, and it further demonstrates why you lack rigor in almost every argument you make.

These interpretations by the current majority of partisan hacks in the Supreme Court will not stand the test of time. Until they are overturned, they stand as rulings.
