Philando Castile was following police instructions when he was murdered in cold blood ... "show me your driver's license" ... poor guy reached for his wallet and bang bang bang bang he's dead ... right there in front of his wife and kids ... the officer wasn't indicted ... we have no idea if he was even investigated ...
Four years later, the same police department, and we have another cold-blooded killing ... Why aren't you protesting the Minneapolis Police Department? ... we tried it your way last time and nothing changed ... let's try it our way this time and see if that keeps the Minneapolis police in line ... there's a few other departments that need cleaning up as well ...
I feel bad for all the good police departments catch hell for the sins of just a tiny minority ... but these good police officers should have been screaming and yelling four years ago when one of their "brothers" got by without even losing his job ... police are to uphold the law, even if it's their "brother" who's doing the murder ... more troubling to me is the two ****** and one yella officer standing there watching enjoying the show ... nine minutes and you'd hope one of them would step in and save the man's life ... you know, act like a police officer ... pffft ... yeah, Minneapolis has a big problem ... disbanding their police department and paying the local county sheriff for police coverage might be the safest thing to do ...
Reducing police forces is something that should be discussed ... I have no idea why "smaller government" conservatives make the topic so toxic ... I'm not saying it will work for every community, but just talking about it doesn't hurt ... and look to places that have already done so ... Oregon has been reducing her police coverage every since the crime rates started plummeting 30 years ago, focusing on her southern counties stripping them bare ... we rank 50th in police per capita ... it's horrible, only the tourists are safe here, rapists and murderers somehow know not to mess with the out-of-staters ... move here and you'll see as soon as the tourists leave it's a bloodbath ...
Joking of course ... but outside of Portland (where there is police), folks just like taking care of themselves and it doesn't bother them the nanny-police are too busy to look for your stolen car ... they'll call you if they find it, what more do you want from government? ...
