I mean it didn't have to. Keep "the left" boogeymen in your heads and everything would've been fine.

interesting development with police and legal protections. Seems like we're going to see a decline with what police are willing to do

Seattle-area protest updates: No police reports filed about use of weapons to extort Capitol Hill businesses, [SPD chief] Best says
Seattle Times

Quote:
SPD walked back claims that CHAZ residents were trying to extort local businesses for money after mentioning it in a press conference on Wednesday. The claim seems to have been sourced on "conservative blog The Post Millennial, in an article written by former Seattle City Council candidate Ari Hoffman," reports Seattle Times. So, SPD reads Hoffman?

Like I said, wild misreporting. It's been more entertaining to read the fantasies that people think are happening instead of the actual events themselves.

Oh no, we got the topic banished.

oh.... its almost like i called it? People do not get this. Contrary to popular belief, most cops are good people, and most Cops actually have a spine. Do not be surprised when they all just quit en-masse.

What would you prefer we call the group of like minded individuals who have enshrined identitarianism, neo-racism, and neo-fascism into their ideology, and all fall to a specific political alignment?

They arent boogeymen if we can point to various non-fringe examples. they arent made up if we can point to a plurality of politicians who lean to a specific side of the political spectrum all preach the same ideals.

I think you need to come to grips with the idea that what you perceive as right and just in the world, is verily detached from such.

And honestly, I cannot even fathom why anyone would want to be a cop, anyhow. Regardless of the current situation.

I used to work retail for Sprint for years in a sales capacity. Just dealing with potential new customers and existing ones was bad enough in sales. But unfortunately I did so well, I was soon promoted to shift manager at a Nextel/Sprint service center (right after Sprint acquired Nextel). Literally terrible. Cell phone customers for some insane reason think paying a monthly sub meant you were renting the phone and if anything happened to it, even if their fault, they were owed not only a new phone, but the newest and best one, for free. Oh and they also thought the louder you yell, the more helpful customer service reps become. (Not the case) I hated that job so much I quit after about 5 months.

Now, think of being a cop. You know when you awake that basically 99% of every situation you enter having to do with your job, with the public, was going to be the worst part of that other person's day/week/month/year and possibly life. You know going into it that there is a very high chance someone you have to gather info from in the situation will be lying to you. And added to this, depending on the situation, that person may attempt to take your life. That would make the kindest of people hardened after a short time I'd think and the stress level would be daunting (unless you generally loved conflict, which most of us don't).

On top of that, they really don't get paid THAT well compared to many industries compared to the risk they take. So, I'd think it would not be that hard to say, "F this" and just get something else, even if it paid less.

this is worth the watch;

i generally approach everything from a logical standpoint; not really considering the emotional side of things when i think about problem solving. this helped me understand the emotional side of it a bit better. it didnt help me find any answers, but it did help me understand.

Right now, im at a point where there's only a few semi-logical answers i've come back to, but it's basically a dead end reasoning that never fully works out. it just keeps going on and on, and nothing comes back to a correct answer. The closest thing ive gotten to an answer, is that the system isnt perfect, but what matters most to that system functioning is collectively how good people are on average. i cant help but think the only answer to this problem is that people just have to be better than they are today. i dont think any policy, or any plan, or anything at all will have the desired effects.

well, mainly because if we posted anyone else people would just be like "HURDURHURRH FOX NEWS", much like you youself do any time a contrasting viewpoint is proposed.

E.G: Here- have actual fox news. this is easily one of the best segments on this entire thing to date, and is why i believe tucker carlson is probably the last intelligent newscaster left.

lol, didn't fox news go into extreme damage control this week because their worst opinion host, tucker carlson, told viewers that black people were coming for them? Yeah, he lost a few sponsors for that one. He can't have many more left other than MyPillow.

He's only one more stupid *** comment away from cancellation.

The black people are coming to get you should've been the last nail but these *** always have one more strike.

"oh but he didn't literally say "the black people" are coming to get you"

The missing words, fill in the blanks, it's easy.

A mob of thugs which are "color" will come for you.

‘Thugs’ is a race-code word that fuels anti-Black racism

It must be great to make such superlative opinions of someone that you have never watched beyond carefully selected snippets that appear on liberal sites for the sake of mockery. It'd be like if we presented someone your absolute worst posts and expected them to make an unbiased judgment on the type of person you are.

(Just for the record, I know very little about Tucker Carlson.)
