Most of the people who live in those neighborhoods don't pay property taxes, or any other taxes for that matter. I say let me fend for themselves. That's what they seem to want.

For now. But if crime increases property values will fall.

I missed your example. Must have been out to get groceries when you posted it.

And accident does matter.
Regardless, when you are in that position of authority you need to be able to subdue someone without killing them and as the autopsy showed he was indeed killed by that. If it was accidental then it was gross incompetance on the officers part.

“Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded. Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave.” - Dr Lyle Rossiter

Dr. Rossiter says the liberal agenda preys on weakness and feelings of inferiority in the population by:
  • creating and reinforcing perceptions of victimization;
  • satisfying infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence and compensation;
  • augmenting primitive feelings of envy;
  • rejecting the sovereignty of the individual, subordinating him to the will of the government.
“The roots of liberalism – and its associated madness – can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind,” he says. “When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious.”

No, but you're assertion that they don't certainly is.

It's quite telling that people who support these protests, which have become increasingly violent, get their panties in a bunch when cops turn their backs on the Mayor of NYC when he hangs them out to dry.

What you're saying is cops don't have the same right to peaceful protest.

I'm not asserting anything. My statement is based upon the content of the article in the original post, or basically, what this entire thread is supposed to be about.

Votre_Chef said: Cops should do the jobs the taxpayers pay them to do. If it's too hard for them, perhaps they've chosen the wrong line of work.

No, that doesn't sound like you're implying they don't... not even a smidgeon.

I'm not implying anything.

Do you even know what an implication is?

Read the article in the very first post.

If that is true...therefore...

I did not say whether it was true or not, the article is the source of that assertion, not me. My statements are based upon the presumption that the article is true.

Do you I really have to walk someone who I presume is an adult through this? Seriously?
