When tools are abused they get taken away. You can argue all day for this but it's going to end and those who refuse to abide by the rules will get arrested themselves.
No one is going to risk their own life to keep a thug safe. You disarm the police, there will be none.
When the police are the thugs you disarm them.
So youāre saying hypothetically that if you were fighting with police, youād rather have them use a taser or baton to subdue you? Or do you just want to take ātoolsā away from police? Thatās stupid, because now they have no choice but to escalate with a baton or taser, both are much more dangerous than these vascular chokes?
If they abuse their taser and batons you take those also.
So then they just have their guns...great thinking. Letās make cops more nervous and make them feel completely defenseless outside of their firearm. Thatās gonna be great for the paranoid schizophrenics when they harass store employees because they think the store is part of a government cabal, and get the cops called on them. Then the cops come out, which confirms to the paranoid schizo paranoia, and he fights the cops with every ounce of his being because that what he truly believes he has to do to survive. Now what are the cops supposed to do. They canāt leave him in the store. Cops canāt engage him either unless you think itās ok for the cops to start throwing fists. I most certainly wouldnāt prefer that.
Easy. Start speaking up and demanding actions when the police abuse the tools that are gave them.
Thatās happening dumbshit. Turn on the ******* news. What are the alternatives? Youāre giving meaningless platitudes, not solutions. Brooks would still be alive had cops been trained in the manner I set about in the OP. But no, we have to put all chokeholds under an umbrella as ābadā. Itās utterly nonsensical. The left just wants to have anger sessions like in 1984. Their solution is to do a naked shame march game of thrones style.
I see only one person angry in this conversation and that is you.
I disagree.
I am very hard on cops when they get an attitude or abuse their power but having less capable cops is in no one's best interest. For decades we didn't want females on the force because we knew they would end up shooting people (when a guy would just slam him down and cuff him) because they couldn't handle him physically.
I want a society that has strong physically capable cops, I just don't want hardly anything to be illegal in that society, personally.
