Do shotgun beanbag rounds incapacitate reliably?
I’m guessing no since they are not something you read about being used regularly...

* authorized strength of 1,492 police officers and 186 vacancies


* 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?"

I've been seriously puzzled at what seems to be an exclusively American condition. That being that when institutions and systems empowered to improve a condition in society fail us repeatedly and often, we respond with demanding more of the same?

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.

Cops "taking beanbags to a gun fight" will not end well for the cops

Johnny Knoxville takes a bean bag to the abdomen. It’s from that cinematic film, jack ass

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.

I don’t what happens in Fairfax County. They vote for Democrats they get what they deserve.

Fairfax County was once a nice place. I went to high school there when my dad was stationed at the Pentagon and then the Washington Navy Yard.

It was conservative and family-oriented back then.

I probably wouldn’t recognize it now. Liberals destroy everything they touch.

Fairfax is not a “left-wing enclave.” It used to be the conservative county of the DC area, until the Patriot Act and the Iraq war turned the DC military establishment hard left. It still has the most conservatives in the DC area, although the fanatical hatred of the Left is more unbounded in the DC area than even the heroin-needle strewn, Moloch-worshipping hellhole of San Francisco.

Oh, no, they don’t deserve cops. Just social workers. And take away the guns of ALL voting and registered Demonrats. They don’t need those.
