I like living in my rural area because the cops act more like andy griffith than a black ops wannabe.

"Well hey there, dog buttz! Slow down and tell your brother to slow down too! You know how he is yeehaw haw haw haw!"

Except for one of them who's a total dick but he can't do much because he's afraid of getting another complaint from someone he stops about him "being rude".

Are you white? Usually, rural cops don't act like that to out of towners who aren't white.

I'm as white as the driven snow. I can't guarantee poo poo but I've never heard of the cops here being anything but friendly to out-of-towners or non-whites. That may be partly because despite being a rural area, a major interstate runs through our town so we do get a lot of traffic passing through that only stops for fast food or gas but still passes through. It would be bad to earn a reputation as having aggressive or rude cops. When driving to Tulsa, Oklahoma from my area, for example, nobody wants to stop in Kiowa, Oklahoma because it has a reputation for aggressive cops who will pull you over for anything and tend to escalate the situation if they can. I've been pulled over there for doing 48 immediately after after the first 45 sign despite being in the process of slowing down and the cop treated me like I was doing 90 and had a body in the trunk.

if you really got rid of all the cops that lust for black teen death there wouldnt be enough left to fill a bus. ideally the solution for cops sucking big huge sweaty balls would be to gradually swap them out with better trained and screened replacements, but that wont happen overnight (or at all lol) so we kind of need the current corrupt, racist and murderous douchebags. fortunately, they are such enormous pussies that occasionally making an example of one would be enough to terrify them into line. sadly, said examples do not exist because cops can do anything they want with no repercussions.

why not just get rid of cops? we dont need to phase them out, just fire them all, that will solve the problem.

i love how police around the country have ramped up the pr efforts lately. it seems like every time one of them gets caught shooting another unarmed black kid we get this flood of cute videos showing cops dancing in their squad cars and giving out christmas presents during traffic stops and poo poo

im in the media and let me tell you -- we fall for this poo poo every time. i try pointing it out to other producers and they're just like oh misanthrope there you go again with your crazy conspiracy theories :downs:

but if theres no cops there is nothing to stop a murdered persons family and friends from coming after you.

i never said get rid of judges and the justice system, just cops. police are not something that has existed for all time, they are relatively modern thing and someone from the 18th century would have found them tyrannical. people are able to figure out justice pretty well on their own, it's the basis of the common law system

a lot of people hate cops because a lot of people are losers who are nobodies in life, ie no gainful employment, no spouse and children, no friends, and when you have nothing going on in your life you want to make yourself feel good and bashing cops is an easy target. if you put xer SJW out on the streets to be a cop their head would explode as drugged out homeless people dont care about your voluntourism and will shank you regardless

and it's no coincidence that a lot of goons fall into the loser category so there's so much cop hate here :)

It's funny because it's true lol

yeah

a major problem with america's law enforcement is also one of the reasons its education system is so lovely: a dogmatic adherence to decentralised policy.

there is no need for every county and city to have its own autonomous law enforcement organistaion. it lends itself to corruption and incompetence in equal measure. just loving get rid of all of them. all law enforcement duties can be carried out by state-level organisations that perennially rotate personnel in order to break up the "blue line" bullshit and require federal oversight to ensure adequate standards of training.

That would require Americans to admit that a 200 year old document written by slaveowners maybe isn't very applicable to the modern age where long-distance communication doesn't involve horses, and shouldn't be taken as dogma.

Considering that most Americans are still taking a 2000 year old document written by dirt farmers as dogma, I don't see that happening any time soon.

What does the federal constitution have to do with the need for local government? Personally I live in a part of the state constantly ignored by the state capital, 150 miles away. If we didn't have more localized government we'd have a lot of problems. If we had to rely on DC for our small local issues, we'd be in the stone age.

Not counties and cities, but the federal oversight part would be seen as an infringement on states' rights.

That honeslty sounds like a great idea but isn't there something to be said for the benefits of a cop being familiar with the area? Being moved every 6 months doesn't seem like its long enough for that.

Also I guess nobody would wanna sign up for something where they had to be moved to a different city every 6 months or whatever. Even a yearly move would suck for a family

Well I wasn't using the word "perennial" in a strictly literal sense, though I see how that was a confusing choice of words. Here in Australia cops can potentially be reassigned to any precinct in the state (though they aren't always) every few years or so.
