Cops 9: You Are What Now?

Re: Cops 9: You Are What Now?

I wish an American city had the balls to simply disband the police.

There were no police for half of this nation's history.

Hmmm...maybe a little bit of an overreaction here?

Good lord...they werent a threat you could have walked up and arrested them. ****ing dickless gloryhounds.

This guy is posting every video there in on the FBI tweet right now. It is ****ing scary how many he has...

This country is a cesspool. The America we were taught about in school is a fallacy. A dream, because quoting G. Carlin, “you have to be asleep to believe it”.

The dream doesn’t reconcile with reality and never has.

Time to start over.

I don't know about you, but I'm not exactly raring to go back to a citizen's night watch. Have you met some of your neighbors?

we definitely should start with demilitarize the police. No armored vehicles. No riot shields and helmets. Half of them shouldn't even be carrying guns.

Re: Cops 9: You Are What Now?

Interesting cross-section of comments at Free Republic with a surprising range of opinions. Everything from your standard racist cant about the drug metabolites in his system, to a shocking number of Freepers who agree the officer was at fault and are ready to lock him up, to conspiracy theories about the second autopsy being bought to find the results the family wanted.

I agree except for the helmets part of it. Thought the Boston PD was appropriately equipped for the event. They weren't out in body armor and driving tanks but I can't blame them for wearing helmets when anarchists showed up to the protest with bricks in their backpacks. They also seemed to be carrying long batons as opposed to riot shields.

Somebody let me know when the police force is disbanded in Kep's municipality. I'll be sure to stop by his gated community and start helping myself the next time I'm in town. I hear that Maserati his wife bought him is a sweet ride...

Ive never thought of coroner's as reputable people. So nothing surprises me about their reports.

Statement 3 does not follow from 1 and 2.

Revolution is cute and all, but it rarely actually improves things for the Poors. I do not want to trade a system of laws corrupted by money for a system of personalities and ideology. I want to take the current system and radically reform it. I don't want to chuck it in the trash because then we lose 250-or-so years of progress towards a more perfect union.

America would be a pretty good country if it wasn't biased towards (1) money and (2) rural white racist hayseeds. If we can concentrate on eliminating the power of the former and reducing the power of the latter to their population with no f-cking farm fresh eggs bonus, we go a long way towards destroying fascism as a viable force and restoring a vibrant, progressive, liberal, humane, civilized country.

You don't burn down the house just because your downstairs neighbors are as-sholes.

You evict them.

I’m fine with them carrying a Glock 17 and wearing a bulletproof proof vest, but they shouldn’t have much more. Definitely no tasers.

Re: Cops 9: You Are What Now?

No, they should definitely have tasers. The thing is to have them used more often than their guns.

I think they use them to abuse people a lot more often than they use them instead of a gun.

So I haven't been paying attention in detail to his actions of the past few days, but why the daily trips to churches? Have they announced some sort of reasoning or theme, or are they just doing it unannounced at random?

To show he is a religious man. He is trying to show his actions are just because he is doing it in the name of God.

Of courses the Churches are telling him to stay away because he might burst into flames...but he doesnt care about what the Church thinks only that he gets his ****ing photo op for his sycophants to jerk off to.

Last night the OAN anchor said the protesters are an attack on god. Dump already wrapped himself in the flag; now he's carrying a cross.
