We don't need to arm cops to the teeth to kill who they determine are scumbags. We can protect our ******* selves. At this point, half the time, we need to be able to protect ourselves FROM THE POLICE and that's a really, really bad sign. Breaking into the wrong homes, scooping people off the streets and putting them in jail for nothing. Take the weapons from the police, and make them stay in their freaking hidey holes until there's a call. We don't need them out roaming around looking to pick fights and harass people.
Odd, I have no problems with cops at all. I guess you missed my point, people don't get shot for being scumbags, they get shot when they act like one and do something stupid.
They often get shot when cops make mistakes or flat out murder them.
I don't understand the disconnect between recognizing that government is out of hand...but everything cops do is justified. I also don't get the disconnect between believing in accountability and transparency..for everybody except criminal cops.
You made claims I didn't make. I didn't say cops never made mistakes. When they do it quite often gets exaggerated and most of the time the situation was escalated by arguing or wrestling. They can't just let you go on about your day if there was a reason to speak to you.
And that is 100 percent wrong. Cops do not have the authority to just randomly stop people on whims.
But they do it all the time. Stop people, demand their identification, **** with them, and arrest them and charge them with CRIMES if they object to such behavior.
Disarm the fuckers. Make them sit in their cop palaces and stare at each other until there is a genuine emergency.
