"I simply cannot say I'm pro-police anymore ..."

My whole life I was Back The Blue.

My whole life I was pro-cop. I was a master of giving them the benefit of the doubt, even for pretty obvious cases of police brutality.

I simply cannot say I'm pro-police anymore.

Not after watching these "just following orders" thugs.

45 years ago 'Joey' was a childhood friend of mine.
Now Joey is a cop.
Which is frightening.

Because Joey was a total moron.
I am not making this up.

Depends. Are they a member of a union? Unionization seems to turn people thug like. You become a member of a club that’s getting paid well and going to get paid well for the rest of your life. Your livelihood until the day you die becomes pretty important and you start to think people who aren’t set up for life are pretty stupid and beneath you.

African Americans reached same conclusion many decades ago.

Trump and the MAGA movement are busy taking over the R party. The dem party are the ideological movers and shakers and they’re the ones that need to be stopped. Disagree all you want but I think the urge most people have to simply destroy the R party is based upon the emotionalsim of frustration and disappointment and not sound strategic thinking.

People who think if we just destroy the R party unicorns will fly and flowers will be everywhere and then everyone will respect the Constitution again is flawed thinking. The D’s are the ideological force that are moving authoritarianism forward, the RINO’s are a managable managable problem. It is the dem party that has to be utterly destroyed as it is now composed.

The R party is in the process of being taken over by MAGA forces. Curiously, have you ever heard Donald Trump say the R party should be destroyed?

No, because he intends to take it over and turn it into the MAGA party, if we destroy it then there is no established platform for us from which to govern thus it is not a good idea to destroy the R party. Destroy individual RINO’s electorally in the primaries as many as possible each election cycle, I’m all for that, but we need the infrastructure of the R party from which to govern and make our case that we’re the party to follow for people who want their full Constitutional rights respected and protected.

DEMOCRATS are LAW-LESS because REPUBLICANS are BALL-LESS!

As LEO’s and military retire and / or forced out with mandates, they will be replaced with immigrants.

[9YearLurker]

I didn’t say the R party needs to be destroyed.

I don’t think just trying to squeeze candidates into a corrupt party and voting corruption is going to work either.

Finally, I never suggested the Dems shouldn’t be stopped.

Any more strawman arguments ya got to offer, chubby?

[fatman6502002]

Whats your point? I don’t think the cops are racists like you seem too, I think they’re now ideological.

Also lets face a fact, Blacks make up 13% of the population and yet 53% of all violent crime comes from 13% of the population.

We can cut it down some more too; men are almost totally responsible for the vast majority violent crime in any population thus we can say that all that violent crime is now down to approx 6% of the entire population.

And we can cut it down even more and really drill in on the problem. The habitual violent criminals in the black commuinty make up about .7% of the black community, think about how small a number that is, that are actually responsible for 53% of the total amount of violent crime in the US. The fact is there is ablack on everyone else crime wave in this country and that is because those particular individuals are not civilized people, and the dems let them out of jail and will not prosecute them.

Ha Ha

is this true?

What do you say to him when you bump into him?

[fatman6502002]

That’s what you imply because you don’t make your actual meaning very clear. You always blame the R’s but you rarely seem to put the blame where it ultimately belongs, on the D’s. That is why I am always suspicious of you and others here at freep who constantly call out the R’s but rarely it seems the D’s. As I said you’re very emotional thus your Chubby remark, and I do take it as joke because I care not what other people think of me or my opinions.

-- The police are necessary. --

No, they aren't. Not any more than public education is necessary. There are other ways to keep good order and deal with anti-social behavior.

The criminal justice system is a self-serving industry. They have an "us vs. them" mentality and attitude. Given a "monopoly on use of force of violence," they tend to abuse it without consequence, or when there is consequence it is throwing a little fish to "them," well after the system is aware that is has a problem.

-- Properly managed with limits and oversights and rights and the whole shebang, they can be a force for good. --

Yep. And they can be an incredibly powerful force for bad, too. Just like any other tool, all depends on the morality and goals of the people wielding the power. Generally, this sort of job is most attractive to the 4% of the population that is sociopath.

[entropy12]

You already made my point in your previous post.

[fatman6502002]

Maybe I misunderstood you. Either way I’m at breakfast now so I’m concentrating on important things like food. LOL

The problem isn't racism. Race cannot be changed. The problem is Culture. Culture is the thing that can be changed.

Culturism.

None of us, including obambam, and others can change the color of their skin but we can change our culture we choose to uphold. The key is to uphold positive aspects of our own and others' culture, and reduce the negative aspects.

Some cultures are superior to others. An example is San Diego vs. Tijuana. They're 5 miles apart, separated by a simple fence. On one side is a shiitehole and on the other is a pleasant enough place to live. Same climate, same location, the only difference is that fence that separates 2 distinct cultures -- one of which millions of people clamor to get into and the other of which people try to get out of.

Even obambam is culturist: "Parents have to... eradicate the slander that says a black youth with a book is acting white." ~Barack Obama , 2004 Democratic National Convention

“The police are necessary.”

Not any more. I think that’s why the Founding Fathers included “well armed militia” in the founding documents (inspired by God). In the end, police are human and therefore corruptible. Ultimate responsibility for safety and justice is with the citizen.

Police USED TO BE rightfully venerated.

I was one of them as my two uncles and grandfather were cops. Heck, my grandfather was the first chief of police of PHL. But they started seeing things change a while back and sadly, there is no part of government I trust anymore…zero,none!
