Yup, but as long as the bosses of cops are other cops that preceded them, shit ain’t gonna change.  You’re talking about whole scale change and that will be near impossible with the current hierarchy and unions.

Disagree.  How many times have you interacted with an officer in your life?  How many of those times did they need a gun?

Agree.  I do support guns being harder to get.  It’s just not the problem or solution here.

Not all, just the majority.

No, dipshit, that is not the problem or the solution. That will not change cop behavior one iota.  Prove me wrong and show me the rational argument that justifies shooting someone with a fucking jug.

The olympics was originally supposed to be about elite athletes competing with each other.  That it became the hyper-nationalist crap that it has is not a good thing.

I have a bigger problem with oh you said something I don’t like and don’t agree with, backed up by lots of research etc. Let me find one whack job that disagrees and now we’re even.

This is so fucked up.  In my area, an officer has to report each taser deployment just like the do each gunshot, the lesson being you better not deploy that shit unless you have a really good, justifiable reason because you’ll be writing up reports on it.  Things are far from perfect here, but the message needs to be…

No kidding, try that shit in court.  Your honor I investigated myself and decided there was no crime committed.  Move to dismiss.

You’re ignoring the part where he felt like he was going to be murdered on the side of the road. If you think that’s an irrational fear, you haven’t been watching the news.  So, given that, is sit there and take it still the best move?  Cops kill all the time when they’re in “fear for their life” but when it’s a black…

My parents drove a Chevette and a Cavalier then, so tell me about it.  Had just gotten rid of the Nova.

Yeah, but their MO is to repeat shit often enough that their base accepts it as well-established fact.

Mmmm, you mean white people score better on a test created by white people?  Who would’ve guessed?

Yeah, like You know that trampolines used to be called jumpolines until your mom got on one?
