The “militarization” of police was not only inevitable, but necessary

You consider me a 'prepper' whatever that means. And I consider that preparing for my future.

What part do you not understand?

Am I not preparing for my future by going to budget hearings, and changing the political landscape to suit me?

Quit dodging the point. Peppers think the country is doomed. As such, their opinions should generally be ignored. It is unwise to take advice from defeatists — from people who are literally invested in the idea that the country is finished.

Give it a rest. JRandom owns the thread.

Peppers think the country is doomed

Only in your tiny mind.

Preppers... those that prepare, work to ensure the survival of them and theirs, whatever it takes. If preparing means working the local political system, that's a chore that needs done.

You are the one fixated on the country being doomed. Preppers, by their name prepare to make sure they aren't doomed.

You remain, an idiot.

Sod off.

You act like there aren’t a hundred threads where peppers have shown precisely what they believe.

[JRandomFreeper]

As such, their opinions should generally be ignored.

Please, Lord, make it so.

I'm a proud Pepper - are you?

click on the pic - you know you wanna...

[JRandomFreeper]

I'm gonna get flak. It's nature's way of saying I'm over the target.

Best not to fret about it. I don't. Idiots are gonna be idiots.

Dude - you’re not David Naughton, are you? LOL! :)

Yeah, spellchecker gives you a way to weasel out, and naturally you take it.

[JRandomFreeper]

He's rich, good looking, and famous.

I'm JRandomFreeper. Poor, somewhat scary to look at, and unknown.

Nope. Not him.

Very cute, but can you argue?

I’ve seen too many preppers write stuff that makes it clear they’re hoping for SHTF. They think the country is finished. Their only hope is in the country hitting absolute bottom, which they think is inevitable.

This thread is about militarization of the police.

Do you want to keep it on subject or do you want another whack?

As far as the specific incidents in Ferguson go, we still need a lot more information before final conclusions can be drawn.

Not if your skin tone is darker than 6C on the color chart ...

[Yardstick]

Whack meaning your lame name calling and dodges?

Or did you have something more substantive in mind?

The fact is that your doomsday prepper mentality colors every issue that you comment on around here.

[JRandomFreeper]

I know an 8 Bravo that has questions. This isn't all about color and race, though that enters into it.

The meta question is "How militarized should our local police be?"

You have been admonished for taking a thread off track before. I'm sure you remember.
