Weird how that just stopped.

Millions of dollars of tax payer training and this is what we get. "Oh we need better training and new fancy training facilities."

No you need to completely revamp what it is to be the police and stop hiring overly aggressive morons.

Wait until you first hurricane. Folks will bend over backwards to help each other, but they do it with both eyes open. You go a week with no power, food & water running out, and zero effective government presence. You'll see the absolute best and worst of humanity.

All you have to do is see how much attention and support things like the "war" on drugs had, or the "war" on terrorism. Suddenly police get massive amounts of tools, funding and support. Bills/laws are put on the fast-track to being passed, rights are bypassed, etc. They have no problem confronting issues if they actually want to fix them or care. If nothing's being done, it's generally not because it's physically difficult or impossible, it's more of a conscious decision to not deal with or fix the issue. Especially when it's state employees/organizations who are causing the problem.

Where do you think my issues come from in my username???

>Why hire these idiots that can barely do police work.

Because that's what they're hired for. Police aren't meant to protect people or actually solve crimes, otherwise the government would be as concerned with these current problems as they were of "terrorism" or the "war" on drugs. If the government or people in charge are actually motivated or care about something, a lot can be done and has been done with previous issues. If nothing's being done, that tells me that it's simply not a problem they want to handle/fix.

I can imagine in certain communities they would find it interesting most of America is finding this out now, years of tv-copganda don't help.

Or they just move to another department. I’m reminded of a story someone I know told me. He’s a cop (married to a friend) in Chicago.

He was a cop in a suburb just outside of Chicago, and they were racist as fuck. If you went to their website there was an intro video that played of them in car chases, guns drawn, and other shit. It was set to the theme song of an old show called “The Unit.”

Lots of lawsuits and racism to the point the guy was afraid they’d not come and save him if he needed it. He was black cop, and was scared his own coworkers wouldn’t help him.

I asked if he told anyone about this, and he just said he moved to a less racist department in the city. This wasn’t that long ago either.

Florida is currently burning itself down with ass backwards policies.

I won't even go there for vacation anymore. I want nothing to do with bigoted, ignorant extremists.

I'm well aware there are good people in Florida (and I am so, so, sorry you have to live in that hellscape.)

I'm just talking about the numerous fools supporting and voting for these assholes.

It's both. And how many people have they beat before this and got away with.

There aren't enough teachers or good intentions in the world to fix all the kids coming up with serious behavior problems. You have no idea how bad it has gotten.

Kids talk about other kids mamas in school all the time. Sometimes they are just trying to craft a good "yo momma" joke, but sometimes they are seriously insulting their parentage. Maybe that or other insults, boyfriends/girlfriends, past fights, theft.

East Baton Rouge Parish voted for Biden (55.52% vs. Trump's 42.47%, a 13 point difference). Just about every city in every state votes blue, regardless of what the overall voting record is for the state. It's rather disingenuous to say "red state" when it's more of "rural vs. urban," and, in this case, it's a blue district that had the crime problem.

That's just a Tuesday for most of them.

This is how cops have always thought. This is very human behaviour in a system based on the doctrine of “might makes right”.

Paid vacation.
