Yeah.
That and anyone advocating for the abolishment of policing is a nincompoop.

Agreed, but they do need new training. I was puzzled why the officer did not approach and taze the 16 year old rather than just shooting her. It did appear there were a few officers there and they should of been able to handle this non lethally. Just shooting people should be the very last option in their training and a 50/50 way to lose their job for using deadly force.

Right? Why didn't they just shoot the knife out of her hand?
If someone has me pinned against a car with a knife in their hand that's drawn back above my chest, I don't want the cops fucking around with tazers. Although the way most cops shoot, maybe I'd be better off getting stabbed.

Yet another fine example of quality policing by the Florida cartel. No wonder why LEO's have such an image problem.

I don’t feel safer around police. They’re predatory. There’s a whole system of police, courts, lawyers, jails, prisons, counselors, administrators, service and facility workers in all those organizations.... that all depend on capturing random people and squeezing the life out of them. It all starts with bored police roaming around scrutinizing everything to make work for themselves and shitty Karens who can deploy this machine against anyone they have a conflict with.
So yeah, actually, getting rid of that would be fine with me.
I have seen two places go from no police (both places were like, if you called police you’d get somebody there in 45 minutes or an hour) to having police and both were worse off... because it’s not about safety and preventing crime, the police end up being just another predator causing more trouble than they prevent. You still get your house broken into, and you also get pulled over trying to come and go from work and there’s some douchebag cop in town now and his whole family who know they can be assholes and do whatever they want because they’re with the cops. I’ve seen it happen. The whole system is built to be abused.

It’s weird, I have never in my life had an interaction with the police, even if I called them, where I felt like they were not on edge.
I called last year to turn in a wallet I found on the ground. No ID, but had cash etc in it. Fucking cop partner was like at the ready position, staring me down the entire time as I stood there in my flip flops and shorts as a middle aged white guy in a nice neighborhood. Not a “hey, thanks for doing the right thing” or a smile or anything from either of them.
I called you guy, you think I’m a threat? Can’t imagine how they deal with everyone else on a daily basis.

Reminds me of the prison guard that wouldn't give up asking my for my last name while I was taking care of a patient for a procedure. I told him my first name is Ryan and he kept pushing for my last name for "safety purposes". I told him you don't need to know my last name for this kind of procedure and stopped any interaction with him afterwords, I just focused on taking care of the patient who was in his "custody".

As an old white law-abiding well-off guy I've had enough negative interactions with police that I am frightened of them and do not trust them. I can barely begin to imagine what I would feel about cops if I were none of those things. I think a lot more Americans are starting to feel the same way. Unfortunately, as police sense growing opposition from the public they're going to hunker down and double down and things will get worse before they get better.

This is what police are:
They just do whatever they want because it’s a good bet even when they’re wrong they’ll be protected, and even when they’re not protected the punishment is minor.

If they showed up to protect and serve we wouldn’t be in this mess.
They show up to bully and get paid. Bottom line.
The whole fucking system needs a total rebuild.

I bring up Bernie because he is perhaps the best example of politicians talking about police reform but doing absolutely nothing to accomplish it. Cops aren't going to improve their behavior from a bunch of social media posts from you about the militarization of police or even Chauvin going to jail. They're going to improve behavior if there is top down accountability legislation. A police dept is found to be in repeat violation, they start losing funding. That will get police chiefs to root out bad cops much more quickly.
Bernie will not take a single step to institute legislative reform though. Because he is lazy. You will still like him though because you like it rough, and he keeps his mittens on when he gives you hand jobs.

How do you know I like or don't like Bernie?
As for your little screed, Really? Like the NYC, L.A., and Chicago P.D.s are bastions of justice and understanding for the common folk, after, what, billions of dollars in payments to citizens they wronged? They've changed?
Highangle, right? That's my new guess.

Murders per 100,000, Canada 1.82 US 4.96
Completely pointless comparison, violent crime in the U.S. is far higher than Canada. If you take in consideration that most murders in the U.S. occur in urban areas its far worse. St Louis's murder rate is 87 per 100,000, Chicago in 2019 (2020 was far worse) was 18.2 per 100,000. While checking this number came up, last year in Chicago 79 police officers were wounded. Why anyone would want to be a police officer in one of these violent cities is beyond me.
BTW, you may not have to worry about defunding police in Chgo. So many officers are retiring and when they had the latest Police exam they sent out over 1000 letters and emails to applicants to take what is called the Power Test, 70 showed up and 1/3 of those failed the test. For Jan, Feb & March the retirement number is over 400.
