You might be surprised. It’s not something people do everyday, and many people can’t be bothered to do it even when they have no criminal record - even the highest turnout as a percentage of the voting age population was around 80%, and that was in the 1800s. 2008 was a massive turnout, and yet only 58.2% of the…

Snoop, love you dearly, but hopping on the bandwagon of What Shoulda BEEN Happened, just as the giant meteor approaches is a bit...lame. Do what you do though, and convince as many fence-sitters as you can do to the same.

It’s a shame that it’s taken a complete catastrophe for some people to realise that voting matters.

All the other unions in this country have lost power but police unions have gotten stronger, they protect the worst among them, resist change, oversight and outside influence and demand all the sympathy and respect for corruptly performing a job that puts them in “danger.” Then they use the danger/fear for my life…

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The romanticism of the military has followed veterans when they join the police. The same people who scream about freedom fetishize people in uniforms telling all of us what to do.

Brooklyn-99 can stay, all cops outside the main cast are corrupt in some fashion

150% this. Want change? Void most “qualified immunity” and let civil judgements be paid out of the pensions. Self-control and self-patrol will blossom REAL quick.

And they’re the only unions conservatives will support.

Weird how the only unions with any power are the ones with guns and impunity.

I’m still having trouble when I watch fucking “Grimm.”

Oh of course. Your average cop makes one felony arrest -a year-.  Their equipment should reflect that.

If we are going to fire them all and start over, can we start over with a new agency that is extremely narrowly focused on the handful of actually socially necessary functions the police theoretically serve, and with no license to kill?

Hollywood’s never ending boner for cops ejaculates cash.

I mean for fucks sake they are protesting against wearing cameras when they invade a residence unnanounced. Police isn’t all sunshine and lollypops here in Canada but they don’t act like columbian death squands backed by the state.

It’s the mindset of psychopaths.

The same police who want to break the law to access your phone are the same who are protesting activating a body cam while on duty. There is no way to defend this.

No no no. You fire the cops, and you get organized armed gangs in uniforms, stealing, robbing, killing, raping, and menacing citizens while officials stand by, impotent because the gang...is...

The romanticism of cops has been going on longer then many people here have been alive. Dragnet, Adam 12, etc have being promoting cops as deities for ages. That’s the next thing to go, Hollywood’s never ending boner for cops.

For those wondering Police Unions are not real popular around the country. Why you ask? Because for a collection of people that demand respect, unquestioned adulation and adoration they never have the backs of any other union in their city or state. In NYC when The MTA was looking for a new contract the PUBA was…
