Make cops change professions every year. That way, no one can obtain massive amounts of unchecked power.

Hell, let's have the new cops kill the old cops every January. We can make an event out of it.

California passed gun control laws in response to quell that poo poo. that's why your moronic screeds in favor of gun control are so annoying; because you can't see how actual people benefit from their ownership and can fight local scale governmental oppression

Maybe we should have gun control that applies only to straight white men.

it is difficult to measure something not happening. armed patrols in neighborhoods serve the same purpose as neighborhood watch organizations which is to prevent crime. there are further examples in organizations such as the pink pistols, who carry guns in order to prevent gay bashing. my argument was really that there are reasons to own and carry guns but in that quote I was specifically referencing the black panthers. but like I said you're dumb as gently caress so w/e

More well adjusted then you'd think.

Applewhite posted:

I don't support police brutality by any stretch of the imagination and believe we need to reform the police department, but crying foul literally every single time a cop does anything and hating all of them in general is stupid.

Please explain to me again why I need to empathize and give the benefit of the doubt to someone who chose to take a position of power and authority with the ability to legally use lethal force and not say, the unarmed guy he shot dead while others held him down.

The thing that really gets to me is people who think its not OK for people in the position of a police office to actually have more accountability. You're god drat right every single time a cop is involved in an incident where he ends up killing someone that poo poo should be treated as guilty before proven innocent for the cop. Especially if that person was unarmed. Their position of power means they should have more consequences for making mistakes when it results in someone being harmed or killed, not less. If you don't think thats fair then don't become a cop or take a job where peoples lives are in your hands like that.

uhhh im p sure the homeless guy's a black guy and that it was a black cop who did most of the damage to him

i think it'd be more likely that homeless people dont matter than a race thing. homeless people get beat up on by cops all the time and there's not much uproar b/c gently caress poor people
