I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Wait a minute, if the area is “awash in illicit guns”, per the NRA that should be a very safe neighborhood. Or maybe the problem is that the gun is “illicit “. How exactly does a gun become “illicit” ????

Now you're trying to start a gun's argument in the police behaving badly thread?

Note: the reason I want the the GUNS !!! thread moved to PolyAss are the repeated use of slurs directed at individuals based on their liberal politics. “Libroduche”. “Slow Joe”. Big difference.

Anyone want to talk about the latest Ohio shooting?
I don't have an issue with the cop. Sad shit.
I want to talk about the guy who kicked the girl in the back of the head. Right in front of the cop. Caught on camera. Is he getting changed?
Own your fail. ~Jer~
So I guess noone noticed that dude kicking the girl in the head. Is it no big deal just some black on black violence?
Own your fail. ~Jer~
I'm sure he'll face some consequences, and I hope the girl is ok, but it's not surprising that attention is focused on the cop shooting the girl, as it should be. Based on what we've been shown so far it seems to me that the shooting was justified. People don't take knives seriously but I've seen enough people killed with them to feel differently. Maybe there will be more information available and that could change minds one way or the other. I wonder how the girl in pink feels about it. (BTW if the girl with the knife was swinging it at the cop I wouldn't defend the shooting. A cop should have the means to defend themselves without shooting I would hope.)
5 years, pfft that's nothing. Bernie Sanders has been napping in congress since 1991. He scores in the bottom 4% for lawmaker effectiveness in the Senate. Lower than all but 1 Dem, lower than all but 2 republicans.

Trump was vile and nefarious which is obviously much worse, but it doesn't take away from the fact that Bernie is a lazy showboater. It sure would be nice if Bernie helped pass some legislation increasing police accountability but that would just take too much effort for him. He sure knows how to dress and talk to get WOMILs like Benny Buttlick all excited though.
I thought I had now seen everything until I read what activist Bree Newsome said about the Columbus Ohio incident. But in thinking about it I am in total agreement. This would solve the issue and leave it up to the communities to self police. I am sure "police violence" would go down substantially and murders would also probably drop as fewer would be reported.

Teenagers have been having fights including fights involving knives for eons. We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene & using a weapon against one of the teenagers. Y’all need help. I mean that sincerely.

So when we're saying that police need more training, this is the guy they're sending them to for training.
There current training is a huge problem. But I do agree they need more training, just very different training than what they are getting. Interesting perspective and results from a small sample of police that got training from Rener Gracie (of the famous Gracie jujitsu family) and his schools.

First of all, anyone can. Find some stupid quote on Twitter to get outraged about.
—————
You guys get that at this point people just want cops to stop killing people at a rate of three per day, right?
The default position for many people has switched to “police are corrupt, fighting to maintain their institutional control and regularly get away with shooting people who don’t need to be shot”. Right or wrong, it is what it is. Police do not have the benefit of the doubt anymore.
So this latest one just gets lumped into the overall reaction against police tactics that seem to be based on anything but deescalating situations.
If the context wasn’t police shooting unarmed naked people, rolling up to within feet of a kid with an air soft then shooting him or busting the wrong door down and killing people unassociated with their warrant the reaction would probably have been “hey, it looks like that lady was trying to kill that cop, that looked reasonable.”
Context matters, and right now the context makes the cops look pretty bad on balance in my book.
For example, until recently I had given the Portland Police the benefit of the doubt on a lot of the challenges they have dealt with this year. Then, in the last month we get reporting that they have high level staff telling neighborhood associations how they should vote and that people inside the department basically colluded to try to frame a city commissioner for a DUI hit and run. So, can’t trust what they say anymore.
Context matters if they want the benefit of the doubt.
