I am afraid there is now no chance for peaceful resolution of the problems the left have created. History is the guide.
I agree on giving Ferguson to the natives. Let’s sit back and watch what happens while the halfrican is still in the Whiteyhut.
As far as AA’s not knowing when to quit, they indeed do when “their” life is at stake. That’s why no wide scale black rebellion will ever occur.
Just as you will find hot heads that can escalate any situation, you have complete wimps that don't have the ability to de-escalate. That doesn't mean being overbearing. It means having a calm, commanding presence, that says to a violent person, "I don't want to fight you, but if we must you will end up on the short end of the stick."
I am sorry, but levying a fine for failure to appear, or pay a fine, is not in control of the police department. It also isn’t a radical approach to get people to show up in court.
Agreed. I think that we are roughly in the historical phase faced by the Roman Republic in the time period of Sulla, Marius, Caesar and Pompey.
I do tend to expect calm professionalism from anyone in law enforcement, so when I saw the opposite, and it was directed at me, I could only bite my tongue. There was no reason for me to escalate things, so I didn’t.
That’s why he sticks in my mind as the anomaly. I’d run across so much good prior to him. He wasn’t corrupt or anything that I know of. Just the classic ‘hot shot, tough guy’.
This is a product of hiring the wrong people and not enough time paired up with a partner. Not enough mentoring of young officers.
He was alone. You’re probably right. If he’d had a partner along, I think his attitude would have adjusted considerably.
I’ve seen the police de-escalate many times in my work as a volunteer EMT. There are some towns left where they still do it right.
Glad to hear there are vestiges
I think Whites should exit Ferguson - like yesterday. We’ve seen the show of racist blacks getting power over white authority figures before. It never gets better; only more violent. You can not appease ingrained racism in power. Your appeasement feeds it’s violence.
