I'm sure some cops are truly good and compassionate people who want to help people. However, in my experience, most of them are grouchy and aggressive. It doesn't feel good to interact with them - I'm not a criminal btw.
In my experience, cops have never helped when I needed help and have caused me unnecessary problems just because they could. |
Nicely stated. At best police are a nuisance. At worst, they are an occupying enemy force. Either extreme, they are not needed anymore. Probably never were. |
Because you crave the illusion of safety rather than independence and accountability for yourself. "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Ben Franklin. He might have had a skullet, and a deviant with the older ladies, but he was right about that. |
Look up the definition of the word "Irony". ![]() |
This is some wacky stuff. |
When you believe that all citizens' lives are fungible, you have finally achieved true communism. The outcome is all that matters. |
What type of help have you needed from cops. |
freedom x security = constant --Larry Niven It's not a binary choice, but how much we decide to hand over to the state for enforcement. You really don't want me to start enforcing my arbitrary laws. I probably don't want you to start enforcing your strange idea of justice. We live in a society; we aren't sovereign citizens. |
It's common in thousands of schools across the country already. They are safer and don't make the news. Odd huh? |
I really don't care. Just stay out of my way. ![]() |
Very true. So don't believe that way. |
Your existence consumes resources that I might need. |
The reason you don’t hear about school mass shootings is because there are over 115,000 combined K-12 and technical schools and there have only been about 400 shootings in the last 25 years. That means over 114,000 schools haven’t had a shooting. It’s not because of your untrained vigilante janitorial theory it’s just math. |
No. I want to live in a civil society of rules. I have no problem with the list above. These ideas aren’t hard to follow and they are reasonable. I don’t know you. (What I do know I don’t like.) I don’t trust you. Your overinflated sense of independence may get in the way of my safety. The list above keeps you from doing that. |
MPD were dispatched to 622,593 calls in 2024. Maybe you should do a television ad to better get your message out to the people of D.C. |
