FEDIT POLITICS Thread

I agree wholeheartedly with this douche.
Police are enforcing an American version of Sharia law. Aka extra-constitutional edicts that are not even law.
They are run by gangs that are the feeders to the secret societies within each region.
Like we know exist in every other country.
But we pretend don't exist here.

I would vote for a candidate who would strip all police officers from their firearm and replace it with two non lethal force pistols.
A bolas gun that wraps legs and drops someone to the ground in one shot and a taser. Those don't look like obvious handguns.
Only sergeants and detectives should be allowed pistols. Or patrol leaders.
And license to kill.
Regular cops should be peace officers.
They are not supposed to stop crime.
They rarely ever do.
They always arrive after the crime has been committed.
Which is fine but then there is no point that they all need a gun.
The rank and file should not have impunity of deadly force.
And that would change their mission and how they react to situations.
They would be defensive police.
With their patrol or squad leader being the big hitter backup who comes with the rifle and the pistols.
In fact pistols can be brought in the trunk and shared only by the squad leader during emergencies.
Basically deputizing police to use the power of deadly force temporarily.
This would dramatically change the way we interact with cops.
The fear of death makes people with heart problems or anxiety or drugs do the worng things.

Which answers diablos point of why we don't act like people act today with cops.
We didnt want to die.
We learned young to respect cops out of fear. First out of love as a child until you see them abuse their power for the first time and it turns to fear and loathing.
Todays kids are way more wild thanks to all the extra drugs and the fact that our generation didn't do like previous generations did in hiding everything from the kids.
This generation has known more of the horrors of the world at a younger age than any other generation.
Born in the matrix.

 

In the big tent we have only one rule.
Don't be a douche.
But we don't discriminate against douches.
The reason for the rule is that if you are here it is because you are guilty.
The laws are for the guilty not for the innocent.

 

Other that a bible the papers that say US Citizen are the most valuable ones that exist in this world.

 

you can't not have utopias
impossible
shitheads on power trips will always join the force
they want the force that being on the force empowers them to trip on
they are drawn to it and you can't properly weed them out
the problem is you also give them lots of power and lots of immunity which together like church and state equal a license to kill.
remove the guns from first responders
regular beat cops should have the club and other non lethal weapons as their tools to protect and serve.
this will weed out some of the shitheads
and the shitheads that stay will still be shitheads but at least they wont kill as many people
when they do it will be harder for them to get away with it
cops will still have guns, just not all the cops
not the regular cops
so these cops will be way more careful if they really fear for their lives
because a drawn pistol is not a shield that protects you but makes you a live target
without this pistol they will be train to be less likely to put themselves in situations where they can be shot at or shoot someone else
the amount LA police pay out in lawsuits from shootouts is staggering and leads the world.
its in the millions and millions and millions every year
all because there are too many slaves that need too many overseers who end up with too many shithead taskmasters who just want to whip people up for the thrill of it and you can't help it
so remove the whip from their hands and watch their demeanor switch and become a lot less demeaning

 

Or you could just end Qualified Immunity.

If individual police officers and the governments that employ them are liable for their misdeeds, they'll be forced to carry the equivalent of malpractice insurance.

The most powerful force in the universe, insurance companys' interest in not paying settlements, will make the bad cops and excessive force go away very quickly.

 

quite possibly the most ignorant thing ever stated on dsp
congratulations

 

No it won't.
Who pays the premiums.
If it's the taxpayer than it will make zero difference.
May even make it worse.
Imo doctors are more likely to make mistakes knowing that the malpractice insurance covers them.
Sure premiums go up but it's nothing like losing a lawsuit and paying out of pocket.
Insurances make you bolder.
You know there is a safety net if you fuck up.
The government pays so much to settle lawsuits and no cop on the street feels that pressure.

Removing their immunity while at the same time allowing them to carry a pistol is a recipe for disaster.
Folks will just fuck with them left and right taunting them to draw their weapon and risk a lawsuit.
Makes no sense.

 

Police deaths are like covid deaths.
If an officer shoots himself in the face out of drunken guilt for all his misdeeds one night in his basement it will go down as an officer involved shooting death in the line of duty.
The union says so so the family gets all benefits.
But it's also a way to keep the number of police deaths high to scare people into giving up more funding and respecting the police more for their sacrifice.

The police system is anti american to it's core.
