bulletsponge13 posted:I have medal plates to get out of tickets. Yeah, that's the only reason I'd get them but I'm still leery of associating my car with military/vet culture. My DL has a veteran identifier on it so while it won't stop me from getting pulled over it might help once they're actually reading it.

bulletsponge13 posted:We have those. We have Bolowraps. We have 36 flavors of tazer type weapons. Maybe my Grunt mind is fried from doing the same job in Baghdad, but if you feel you can't do a cop's job without a gun, you shouldn't carry one. I don’t hate this idea. Small military branch (possibly a third strictly National Guard aligned branch for Title 32 v. Title 10 reasons?) fully under UCMJ that handles armed LE stuff only to the extent absolutely necessary such as violent felonies, active shooter situations, major event security, etc. but does not respond to calls that don’t ordinarily require an armed response. The FBI can stay in their current investigative/CI role. All other normal state/local LE duties are replaced by social/medical workers, parking checkers or unarmed state investigators. etc.

SlowBloke posted:This is what happens in Italy, there are two branches of police which coverage mundane stuff and a third one (Carabinieri) with military training that gets called for hard stuff(including overseas policing ops with the army). Yeah that’s the model I’m thinking of, or Gendarmes in France. With it being a Title 32 force you could leave it nominally under state control outside of federal mobilizations under Title 10 for foreign service. Governors or large city mayors could have some operational control over things on a day to day basis while the military (i.e. going through NGB or whatever channels under DoD) would be responsible for training/equipping/administrative + disciplinary stuff. Regardless of Title 32/10 status, write the law so they’re subject to UCMJ at all times. TLDR: you build a new national police force with uniform standards/training + subject to UCMJ under the National Guard. Also I would imagine this force being pretty small since most day to day police calls would be taken over by non-armed first responders anyway.

Wasabi the J posted:Y'all reinvented SWAT. except they're not going to be responding to misdemeanor crimes or pulling people over for traffic poo poo (and shooting them) quote:One of my co-workers is a former Milwaukee cop, and he has some similar stories that are just great... though bustin a few heads is about the most rule breaking he's ever hinted at. ...... quote:On the evening of October 23, 2004, Frank Jude and his friend, Lovell Harris, who is black, were invited by Kirsten Antonissen and Katie Brown to a housewarming party being hosted by police officer Andrew Spengler at his Bay View, Milwaukee home. Many of the persons at the party were off-duty Milwaukee police officers. quote:In 1994, two Milwaukee police officers, Gabriel Bedoya and John Koch, went on a shooting spree in the city of Chicago. They fired shots at random into buildings on the Gold Coast of Chicago, including the residence of Cardinal Joseph Bernardin. When denied entry to a nightclub, Bedoya shot the bouncer at close range in the head, killing him, and the two fled back to Milwaukee.[29] quote:A Milwaukee policeman charged in the April choking death of a man at the off-duty officer's home had his first court appearance Wednesday. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/24/us/milwaukee-off-duty-cop-charged-choking-death-joel-acevedo/index.html Plenty more where that came from including numerous murders or stuff like giving one of Jeffrey Dahmer's victims back to him: quote:On the afternoon of May 26, 1991, Dahmer encountered a 14-year-old Lao teenager named Konerak Sinthasomphone on Wisconsin Avenue. By coincidence, Sinthasomphone was the younger brother of the boy whom Dahmer had molested in 1988.[136] He approached the youth with an offer of money to accompany him to his apartment to pose for Polaroid pictures. According to Dahmer, Sinthasomphone was initially reluctant to the proposal, before changing his mind and accompanying Dahmer to his apartment, where the youth posed for two pictures in his underwear before Dahmer drugged him into unconsciousness and performed oral sex on him.[137] (gently caress MPD too) Flying_Crab fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Apr 12, 2021 |

Is anyone really surprised that it's racism? It's always racism.

Bored As gently caress posted:Watch this channel PoliceActivity to see a lot of "good" shoots (meaning justifiable uses of deadly force, not "good" in the fact that someone was shot). I think people are underestimating the amount of times where deadly force is justified in police shootings. There's a lot of bad shoots out there, and way too much police brutality. But there are plenty of legally justifiable shoots where guys are shooting at police or charging at them with knives. Sure, and some of these illustrate the scenarios when an armed responder of some sort is needed. But on the flip side a lot of these scenarios wouldn't have happened to begin with if there was no police contact with the offenders to provoke them.

Bored As gently caress posted:That's a very good point. There are definitely are scenarios where the cops shouldn't have been called. You can see on PoliceActivity and other bodycam YouTube channels plenty of instances where cops shouldn't have been called. There are absolutely some calls where a mobile mental health crisis team would've been able to resolve the issue. I absolutely believe social workers need to be integrated into police departments, and respond alongside cops to mental health calls where the guy is threatening himself or his family. If the social worker can't help the guy, then and only then should the cops intervene. Or better yet, don't have cops respond at all for calls that aren't immediately violent unless it turns that way.

A Bad Poster posted:There is some tier of beer lower than this that can be had by the can at gas stations around here for a quarter apiece. Yeah I’ve seen some truly random rear end no-name cheap beer sold only in 30 quantity at Woodman’s (Super Wal-Mart sized grocery/liquor store chain around this region). But Hamm’s has the advantage of extreme cheapness and not being terrible in the PBR beer tier.
