Why do you dislike law enforcement?

Just remember when republicans arrest democratic elected officials and others we the people have the power of Jury Nullification.

Do not cooperate with Trump law enforcement and the DOJ. They are the same people who killed Navalny and imprisoned Nelson Mandela.

Hopefully somewhere someone is keeping a list of the Vichy DOJ employees selling out this country.

The job tends to attract dumb people. It doesn’t take a lot of intelligence or training to be a cop.

About a third of sworn officers have a bachelors degree. Roughly 50 percent have an associates. Just over 5% have a graduate degree. Those numbers come close to mirroring the general U.S. population, the people they protect and serve.

It takes a fair amount of training to be a cop. The career also offers a great deal of specialized continuing education for officers. Like any other job people need to seize the opportunities that they are presented.

Your perception about law enforcement being dumb reflects poorly on you.

Thank you for proving my point. You need only a high school diploma or a GED to become a police officer.

Police academy is 8-12 weeks of training.

Spare me your scolding. You’re a bloody idiot. Most cops are beyond dumb.

Wow, it's really going to crush your ego when one of those dummies teaches you about the law. You should definitely refuse to get out of your car when given a lawful order to do so.

Didn't we already dispel the training myths, or did you just drop in to say something stupid? The FCCJA is a 6 month 1100+ hour training program. College kids carrying 18 credit hour schedules are in class around 720 actual hours per year. Attempts at condecension based on incorrect information exposes both bias and ignorance. You excel at that.

DP so your thing is for the police pull someone out of their car because the cop is on a power trip? Try operating in an environment where every civilian is openly hostile to the police. Tell me how that works out?

You do not need a college degree to be the police. What you are posting about is just training and indoctrination. It is totally different vs college.

Police special-units sometimes get a surplus MRAP.

Are there a lot of mines in Arlington?

it’s just a truck. An unarmed, bulletproof, rescue vehicle

Rescue vehicles? That is rich. The surplus military equipment will be used to oppress and arrest democrats.

A lawful order to exit your vehicle is not a power trip. It's for the officer's safety. Check the Pennsylvania v Mimms SCOTUS decision. It seems like most people here are hostile to the police already.

I agree that it's different. Mommy and daddy don't email the academy instructors when Johnny or Joanie get a bad grade on an exam. There aren't a lot of 6:30 a.m. classes at your kid's cushy college either. There's no spring break. There aren't 10 hours of free time a day. Forget about safe spaces. If you want to protest you're welcome to leave. They also don't waste time and energy on nonessential gen ed fluff. You are correct because the academy is a lot more serious than college. To call it indoctrination is beneath most people. Most people.

They don't get to retake tests or accomodations either. If you don't pass, you don't get hired.

Don't forget the stress of a polygraph. How many college kids could pass the drug test? Most would struggle with the fitness test. Then there's the psych exam.

These are the civil servants you would classify as "dumb." These professionals have gone above and beyond what is expected of them to serve and protect the public. Outside of our nation's service academies there aren't many colleges and universities that are incubators of valor.

Hiring Ex-Military to be Police is just incredibly STUPID or Machiavellian EVIL.

Probably both.

The mindset of a soldier is NOT the proper mindset of someone who is supposed to be "PROTECTING and SERVING", even if the dumb slogan "thank you for your service" includes the same word.

Soldiers are trained to kill.

That's why so many police officers are way too trigger happy these days.

Too many Barney Fifes and not enough Andy Taylors.

MAGA wants to defund the FBI.

Two sides of the same coin.

And Americans want both disbanded and non-existent. Not needed anymore.

Put all police on the border to protect the country if they want to remain in law enforcement.

The main role of a government is to protect the borders of a country and prevent invasion. Other than that, government is mostly not needed.

I don't need police to "keep me safe".

That is a childish thought, and an extremely socialist/fascist idea.

They are Government's enforcers aka "Goons" for what is basically the mafia. (government in general)

They are not needed in the USA anymore at any level.

The only good solution would be to disband ALL LEOs except "detectives" who solve crimes.

Also allow more Private Detective Agencies for those who don't get acceptable results from the publicly funded detectives, and wish to hire someone else.

Regular police enforcing traffic, civilian, etc. everyday things are not required in the USA where everyone can handle their own safety issues and squabbles themselves.

What sort of mentality detached utopia do you live in? An Adult-Oriented REAL WORLD. Not a make-believe one like you.

Are armed carjackings considered a squable you can handle? Of course. In fact I stopped two men breaking into my vehicle once. I am female BTW.

What’s your position on DUI? I could care less what others do. I give people room if I notice they are driving erratically and say the hell out of their way. I am not a busy body Karen.

Are you aware of the large numbers of unlicensed drivers and unregistered vehicles on the road? WHY on Earth would I give a crap about that? WHY would you? "licenses and registration" are just tax-extortion gimmicks. Are you aware of the large numbers of people who don't pay extortion money to the local blackmailers?? OMG! (sarcasm since you might miss that.)

Your post can’t be serious.
I am very serious, and apparently you cannot defend your position as to WHY YOU actually need big-brother police around.

I love how that post also establishes a two-tier system where people (with money, of course) can pay for better detectives.

Also, this system is 100% reactive. I can’t imagine how much crime would skyrocket since the only “enforcement” is after the crimes occur.

This has to be a joke.

Hello person who profits from police activity.

And yes, you can ONLY react to crime, unless you propose to arresting people for "thought crimes"? Pre-Cogs?

BTW, criminals don't fear police/military. They never have, because they play by set rules.

Know what criminals DO FEAR? Citizens and vigilantism, because they have no ROE.

Where citizens handle their own crime incidents, those incidents virtually vanish.
