There is a legitimate "correlation" between law enforcement and racist political structures at the local level, it's not a conspiracy theory.

That was my point in the post. The high concentrations of racists and bullies in the police force is a social issue, not a conspiracy theory by white supremacists

Not that all cops are racists or bullies, but a few percentage points of all the cops in the country racks up to 10s of thousands of individuals who have a visible impact on local people

yeah i wanted to say that I don't believe its an purposeful infiltration by some big conspiracy, just lots of individuals with uhh similar "ideals"

I don't think all cops or even most cops are bad people, but man I'd have to question how one could work with that poo poo and be silent or even stand up for them if they themselves are not at least somewhat sympathetic.

But hell I was in the Army so I saw that dumb poo poo all the time towards middle easterners so I guess I get it but I'd like to hold a LEO to a higher standard than an enlisted person but yeah

I think it's hard to argue with a systemic system. You're talking about groups where you likely know the guy who is going to go to jail or at the least have his career ruined. You're inclined to protect him because he's part of your group. And the lesser hope is that if YOU ever shot someone (and of course YOU wouldn't mess up and shoot someone, this will be a theatrical release where the guy draws on you with 5 different dramatic angles covering it) that you would have the support of your department against the public accusations

It's part of a growing public sentiment where any public accusation, and to some extent even internal oversight, gets lumped into the other and the persecution complex. People are inherently bad at confronting the fact that they messed up. Especially when you've killed someone and there is likely a dozen or so people who are legitimately violently angry at you specifically. You feel threatened and the system doubles down on 'shooting was justificed' because holding people accountable in the system is so much harder. Instinctually you circle the wagons

I don't think we're saying different things. If the local business owners and mayor and sheriff are all KKK members or sympathetic to their friends who are, it's not infiltration in any specifically conspiratorial sense when the sheriff's or mayor's son gets hired on as a deputy. Just business as usual.

Unrelated hot take: Why can't we ban the manufacture and sale of handguns and allow all rifles (including full auto). Wouldn't the result be less deaths overall?

To be fair to bird food I'm almost certain the FBI was investigating the infiltration, as in its a real concern probably in some localities, maybe a lot, but just off a hunch I think that would be a lot of good ol boy communities having independent infils over some broad coordinated national effort or something

I've always held that if Democrats actually gave a poo poo about saving lives they'd pass laws restricting handgun ownership instead of constantly crying about "assault weapons".

One answer is that police body armor and vehicle armor is almost never capable of stopping rifle rounds.

And? If the majority of rifles in circulation are already capable of defeating most common protection, then adding a giggle switch does nothing to change that except make someone miss more rapidly.

I meant more as a reason against allowing all rifles while banning handguns. Handguns are more practical for personal/home defense and more able to be protected against.

banning sales is great and all but unless you do confiscation which would probably be a blood bath it wouldn't be that great until about 20 years until a 1911 costs 20k or something exorbitant like with the machine gun registry poo poo
