The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarter's Expenses?

The Pentagon has given 400 armored vehicles, 500 aircraft, 93,000 machine guns to local police
This is despite the fact that violent crime in the U.S. has steadily plummeted since 1993. Between 1993 and 2012, the violent-crime rate dropped by nearly
more regarding Ferguson and other venues at the link above.

And from Second City Cop:
And there it is. CompStat has now been exposed as a fraud in the three largest metropolitan areas of the country. Chicago Magazine had their two part series on the falsification of the numbers. New York has two professors, one of them a retired NYPD Captain, who published a book on how the numbers get changed, and now the LA Times has uncovered a pattern of lies that shows a double-digit reduction in crime that is pure fiction.
Can we stick a fork in this crap yet? Can we finally end the careers of these morons who perpetrated this fraud on not one or two hick towns, but on entire cities across the nation. New York, Chicago, LA, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Newark, the list goes on and on. This is ridiculous.

If you think crime is out of control, you're right. It's just less out of control than in the 80's and 90's.
You are 100% right! Also, there have been increasing times that the
LAPD has been out gunned.
Claire McCaskill today does not want the police militarized. I do not agree with her.
Why are cops wearing military uniforms and using military vehicles for the past few decades?
Even to serve simple warrents nowadays, ya get a military platoon showing up...
What’s up with that gary?
The reason murder rates are slightly down? Better emergency room care means many incidents that would have been murders are now (aggravated) assaults, which have tripled on a per capita basis.
The protestors are snitches. They hope to change the police to let them loot businesses and white people.
Bundy Ranchers never attacked black people when they had their problems. They never blamed them, despite all the efforts to portray Bundy as a racist hack because he simply repeated what Bill Cosby meant to say.
You bet....
And some people support all the cops dressing up like the military and using war vehicles?
This is going on all over the country....
The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarter's Expenses?
I don’t know, maybe they get paid extra for SWAT or SWAT like assignments?
Say, didn’t the police show up in military combat uniforms during the Bundy event too?
It’s an “us vs them” mentality. It has been for years. And it’s ALL of the cops. To them we’re all guilty as hell and we shouldn’t even TRY to win in court. “You’re guilty, damn it, or I wouldn’t have arrested you! And don’t video tape me and don’t talk back!”
“It’s my word against yours. If I say you’re guilty, you’re guilty.” I actually had a cop tell me that decades ago.
You've got that right. I don't believe any government statistics these days.
I find it statistically significant that incidences of Rape have tripled. Boy, I recall with great clarity how the liberals repeatedly told us how sexually repressed we were in the late sixties and in the seventies.
We are paying a heavy price for buying into this lie from the pit of Hell. Homosexuality is rampant. Rapes have tripled. Children born out of wedlock is 71% in minority communities.
Wow, we have made such stunning “progress”.
I find myself in the odd position of agreeing with McCaskill but I would suspect for differing reasons.
I view the militarized police as a threat to liberty and an extension of the police state who it’s officers protect and serve. They are moving away for protecting and serving the public which was once their primary objective. Now, it is to protect the state, and it’s apparatchiks.
Why the no-knock warrants, having SWAT kick down the door of grandpa’s house, shoot and kill him as he reaches for his weapon to protect himself and his wife from these militarized invaders. Only to find they did the wrong house. Then the shooter is cleared of any wrongdoing, but grandpa is still dead. Oops. Sorry. isn’t cutting it anymore.
I don’t recognize my country anymore.
I don’ t recognize my country anymore. But not for the same reasons as you.
