Fairfax County, Virginia, an elite, left-wing enclave right outside Washington, DC, is dealing with a crime surge, and now police officers will be shooting beanbags instead of shotgun shells.
According to Wikipedia, Fairfax County “has the third-highest median household income of any county-level local jurisdiction in the U.S.” and went nearly 70 percent for His Fraudulency Joe Biden in 2020. In other words, this is a county run by Democrats without serious opposition from Republicans.
The result? Between 2021 and 2022, crimes against persons increased by ten percent, and crimes against property jumped by 19 percent.

Do shotgun beanbag rounds incapacitate reliably?
I’m guessing no since they are not something you read about being used regularly...
But he is just standing there not being aggressive.
* The PD took 800 shotguns out of its circulation and put 630 beanbag shotguns into use.
So 170 FEWER shotguns and less lethal. Guess how the bad guys will respond? As the article says, "What are you gonna do, pig? Give me a welt?"
Wow! A bold leap into the 1990s!
They are rubber balls, yes, but at 700 ft/sec.

Crime, education, poverty, racism, immigration, elections, air travel, policing, taxation, public schools, teachers, yadda, yadda.
The American solution is to pay more and expect less of whatever it is the institutions are empowered to deliver to society?
Americans have a serious mental deficiency.
Next in the aresnal is flowers accompanied by social workers
Usually yes. They hit about like getting beaned by a major-league baseball pitcher +. But I know of one case in Albuquerque New Mexico where where the deranged maniac absorbed 15 or 20 of them without effect as he waved a knife around. They sent in a police attack dog which he also defeated and was in the process of strangling. Ultimately they sent in a cop who ina prior life had been a US Air Force PJ. He handled it *quickly* without using a weapon. (Besides him) Truly, comical. When you mention special forces, never forget PJs. They are often forgotten.
I’ll say!
Let’s not give them any ideas, now!

Johnny Knoxville takes a bean bag to the abdomen. It’s from that cinematic film, jack ass
I find #4 game loads to the face less scary than a social worker two years out of a state college daycare with a sociology degree and a clipboard. That is a very dangerous critter.
My mother was a reading/teaching specialist and had moved to teach elementary reading in Fairfax county, in the fall of 1967.
On April 4, 1968, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated here at the Lorraine Motel, just a day after delivering his prophetic “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech at the Mason Temple Church of God in Christ!”
She and my Dad ended up in our home on the western edge of Fairfax county, due the wide spread riots in the DC area.
For about a week plus, my mother and retired Dad stayed and watched the riots and fires on tv in our home.
She resigned, and they moved back to the SW, where she taught and tutored reading for 2+ decades.
Her program was cancelled in Fairfax cty as being racists as she actually tested students to determine their actual reading levels.
She predicted the downfall of public education in America based on what she saw in 1968 and later across America.
"The Chicago-area police officer who fatally shot a 95-year-old World War Two vet with a bean bag gun feared for his life when he confronted the knife-wielding man at a nursing home, the officer’s lawyer told a court on Friday."
Americans don’t have a serious mental deficiency, Democrat voters do.
Back then, in 1970, one in 100 Virginia residents were born in a foreign country. Now it’s one in 10, and they aren’t all Mexicans. They come from all over the world. Ukrainians, Chinese, Middle Easterners, Africans, Europeans etc. All getting their mouth firmly clamped on the US government nipple.
That brings to mind the 1960s image of hippie girls sticking flowers into the barrels of National Guardsmen in San Francisco "Summer of Love". Didn't work then; won't work now.
