Berkeley, the city that said the American flags were offensive and tried to evict the US Marine officer recruiting office from their city as “unwelcomed and unwanted intruders” to their city.
There are more drugs coming in now that any other time in history! Heroin usage is off the freaking charts around here, and it JUST KEEPS ON COMING IN CONSISTENTLY, (enough to keep the ENTIRE area fully supplied!)
That makes it OK to possess/sell illicit drugs, why?
Somebody remind me, what do we need traffic stops for again??
Im happy you asked....You see over 50.000 people a year are killed in traffic accidents . Most are caused by humans . Traffic stops are a way to document unsafe drivers and remove some of these fools from our roads.
I concur. I don't think unarmed constables are appropriate for traffic stops but I do think it's an idea worth considering for domestic disturbance calls.
Do you have any idea how violent DD/DV situations can be? Just look up a few. Perps have taken/killed hostages and LEOs.
In many areas responding to domestic disputes is the no. 1 call that police officers get. I think those calls would be more appropriate for sending unarmed officials, who would be trained to calm people down and to de-escalate.
We already have unarmed officers in every state in the nation. They are called "meter maids." They do encounter angry motorists who confront them, haven't heard of any getting shot.
So unarmed officials would go into the most dangerous neighborhoods neighborhoods in Detroit, Baltimore, etc. late at night to try to calm people down? Do you really think that that will work?
So good luck getting that to work, unless your definition of working is a bunch of dead/injured unarmed social workers and a bunch more dead battered spouses.
I'm seeing a lot of sexually assaulted social workers in the future, myself.

So because we cant stop addiction and crime related to drugs we should just stop making any attempt, make it legal. How about murder, rape and robbery. How effective are laws, arrests and incarceration and ending those crimes. Should we just not bother with laws.
Berkeley has been out of the news lately - they had to do something 'woke' to catch up with CHOP and Somalia/MN.
