Next time when I see deputy DA or the nice young lady working behind the desk at the court house, I will remember to refer them as "law enforcement officer"


thanks for the tip

Such a ghetto answer. It shows your mindset. Sorry to disappoint. I worked in a SWORN position. I helped keep criminals in prison. My colleagues and I had the unique perspective of being able to look at cases from start to finish, which includes where officers make errors. Being good at what you do involves being able to admit where improvement is needed. Cleanup is needed on our end as well.

Well good for you then. Next time don’t make assumptions and hold the ghetto-type comments. That’s classless.

They were likely doing fine.

Reminds me of an observation about the Beer Summit. Something like, "The President and a High Professor are going to have a sit down conversation with a cop to discuss how bad things are for blacks in America.".

Was Reine's comment edited, or is this from a different thread? I didn't see any references to your religious beliefs in the post you quoted.

The logic of this goes like this.
  • I walk up to you, pull out a gun and shoot 15 times. You die.
  • I immediately exclaim, "It's not my fault! This is Trump's America!"
I do understand the terror and desperation in the minds of the Democrats. The riots they endorsed, praised, financially supported and publicly defended have been going on for months now. They've killed at least 35 people. The most affected cities have seen a surge in violent crime, indirectly killing hundreds more. They desperately need to shift the blame for their own mess to Trump because they know they'll get stomped in the election otherwise.

The unemployment is high because we shut down. The Democrats are the ones demanding we stay locked down, so the lack of a swift recovery is more their fault than anyone else's. So they desperately scramble to shift the blame to Trump.

Everyone got the Chinese Kung Flu wrong. Everyone. The Democrats as a whole reacted more slowly, took decisive action later, and made disastrous fatal decisions like sticking infected people in nursing homes when they didn't actually need to. So the scramble to shift blame to Trump. Back at the start, we had no way to know if this was for real or just another SARS, MERS, Ebola panic that wasn't going anywhere. None of them would have done it any better and every sane American knows it.

I think we should get rid of police academy/FTO/in-service training and send cops to citydata forum to learn how to be cops from the all the "experts" here. Imagine how much money police agencies can save
i don't have to be a cop to know the cops in Louisiana who killed Jeremy Mardis, the 6 year-old autistic boy, were crazy.
