You know what astounds me is the evolution of cop-haters. In my youth, it was young radicals. Now it's conservative white guys.
Never thought I'd live to see it.
What is it, white guys? Based on a lot of posts I've seen here, I'd guess it's part of the pro-gun thing. I know many of you want to pretend you're going to save us all with your guns, so you have to also pretend that cops are useless.
On the other hand, you're always telling us that the cops would never enforce gun bans because they're your friends. I guess the "opinion" depends on the specific line of crap you're trying to spin on that particular day.
" Now it's conservative white guys." I resent the remark and the implication.
I suppose you can back it up or is it just more mindless blather?
I wouldn't be surprised to find out it is more people who lean left then right.
I don't like thugs with badges and in my experience that's what 99% of them are.Little boys and girls who were bullied in school and grew up wanting revenge what better way than to wear a badge that strikes fear in most people? Watch a video called Americas Largest Gang...great video.
For that to happen we would need to build a lot more jail space, a whole lot more, since petty crime is much more common then most people would think. On top of this if jail time was actually going to always be a stake you can basically say bye bye to plea bargaining so you might is well up the number of judges, ADAs and PDs by ten fold or more, because without the meet 'em and plead 'em system you would either have to greatly reduce to the number of crimes or hire a whole lot more court staff and we all know the first option isn't happening. In addition to this the state would also likely be forgoing a lot of revenue generated by various fees and fines that come out of pleas. Basically, at this point, more then anything the petty crime and traffic courts are a sort of unofficial revenue generator for the state.
In essence, I seriously doubt people would want to pay the taxes needed for what you want to do.
We wizz away tax money on far more useless crap all the time. Putting more cops on the street is a waste of time if our "justice" system won't lock up the aminals once the cops have done their job and caught them. We do need to address the system, and eliminate so many options for plea bargins, as well as find ways to reduce the costs of housing prisoners. As to judges, DAs and ADAs, if you actually lock up the criminals, they don't come back time after time for trial...well, because they are in jail. So if you actually lock up the tiny portion of the population that are repeat offenders, you might well need fewer judges, ect.
Read most of the article. The writer refers to the police as "pigs" - how can that be helpful? What is sounds like is that money talks. The gentry are attempting to run off the locals. Cops will always side with those who have more cash.
It doesn't. In fact, when people do that, normal people would shy away from the other using it {the word "PIG"}. It's almost as bad as using a racial slur, well, maybe not as bad, but, it is bad.
Besides all of this jibber jabber about cops being so bad, is the fact this this particular group of people referred to in the article could be described as anarchists, that in itself says something negative.

That's not working in the black community. We received the longest jail times but still have issues with crime.
There's other factors that are bigger contributors IMO. When your pushed to the edge your thinking survival not penalties.
There is no unified national policy for law enforcement. The feds should set standards that the states must adhere too. If a cop is derelict or sadistic- or just plain stupid - they should be removed. Hiring practices should go back to the days when there was IQ testing. More and more cops are hired for their quality and sad ability to take orders without question. You need a reformation of law enforcement in America- There are a hundred Youtube videos that show police executing people on American streets...that has to stop...there is due process and rule of law. A cop has one job- to enforce law and no other. He is not to get personal or get emotional.
