You don’t have to look. He’s what you thought.

[Chgogal]

Hey Slaughter, why have any laws at all.

[riverrunner]

We have traffic laws to at least try and keep the traffic flowing in a reasonable manner.

[frank ballenger]

The Wild West was so much safer than Illinois.

[bigfootbob]

They tried that in Washington State. Nobody but the radical communist dimocRAT legislators wanted it. Some ideas are just too stupid for anybody other than academia and tyrant dimocRAT politicians can embrace.

“We have traffic laws to at least try and keep the traffic flowing in a reasonable manner.”

Yup.

[Fledermaus]

I figured.

[Skywise]

Why not just revoke the laws?

I don’t understand this entire asinine anti-cop issue when the problem is the LAWS.

Actually I do understand - it’s to destroy the US and covilization by stopping people from enforcing or obeying the laws.

In reality it’s not the cops fault - it’s socialist democrats who wrote these laws in the first place.

Justin has no self control, fat bastard.

[monkeyshine]

Why don’t they just repeal the laws for car registration, speeding up to 25 MPH over the posted limit, seat belts, improper lane change, tinted windows, broken head/tail lights, exhaust, etc... ?

[Fledermaus]

So basically ignore the laws.

Got to save the PD time for important things like cracking down on gun owners.

Yuppers.
But, in New York the (obviously racist) republican mayor found that simply enforcing common low-level laws ELIMINATED higher-end more violent and more expensive crimes.

This whole equity nonsense is really just an effort not to hold blacks accountable. Expecting them to act like civilized humans is racist according to the Democrats.

[Labyrinthos]

That’s been the de facto law in NY since Fatass James became AG. She basically told LEO to backoff so as not to create potentially violent situations ( i.e., driving while black).

[The Louiswu]

I said it in jest but now I’m serious, making blacks follow laws and pay tolls is racist yall

[lastchance]

Brain dead?

[lastchance]

Some such as driving with an expired tag are about the state not getting its money. I have a feeling that one will not be met with much acceptance.

Revenues go down and then they reconsider
