You sure about that? All we have to do is pack the court who will rule that Heller was wrongly decided and the words “well regulated militia” actually mean something. I wouldn’t take your supposed constitutional rights for granted. The Supreme Court is well on its way to debasing itself as a collection of party hacks. Once the damage is done, nothing will stop the New York’s and Californias of the world from passing and enforcing whatever laws they want. It’s not like the Supreme Court is going to send the Marshalls out to stop people from being thrown in state jail and their guns confiscated. |
Bottom line is just to look at the conviction stats and which communities lose their fathers to jail. Also, snitches get stitches mentality. The whole thing is pretty intractable. Then you have liberals clamoring for reduced sentences and violence interruptors and restorative justice aaaaaand then crime skyrockets and you get it. |
Has any city actually “replaced police with public safety engineers/associates?” |
Anybody who wants to see 2024 go back to Trump should be absolutely giddy about the massive spike in crime. Sit back and enjoy it. The left (by way of social media) got what they wanted and now police are avoiding high risk stops where there is a increased likelihood of use of force. The results are as clear as they were predictable. Don't even get started about 'smash and grab'. It's incumbent upon the right to play dirty in 2024 and make sure that the Democrat's eat the full brunt of this massive spike in crime and frame their platform around 'Defund the Police'. By then there will be several years of skyrocketing crime stats to pack into campaign commercials. Let the left go on about bringing social workers to deal with violent criminals and dissect every shooting on Twitter by saying 'they could have shot him in his pinky toe' or 'why didn't they just shoot the knife out of her hand?' or 'they could have just tazed him'... Ultimately, humans are bottom line oriented creatures. I've reached the unfortunate conclusion that this is just one of those things where it will have to get much, much worse before it gets better. It will get better in 2024. Until then, enjoy threads like these and the occasional segment on CNN where somebody dares to point out certain trends.... |
So your answer is no, I take it. No city has actually “replaced police with public safety engineers/associates.” You’re just going to lie and say they have. |
Me too, but that ain't gonna happen. Nobody in charge wants to face the embarrassment of their decisions being directly harmful. Many such cases! |
“Although it is too soon for formal evaluation of release programs implemented in response to COVID-19, early analysis of recidivism rates across the study suggests that released prisoners have not reoffended at high rates. This indicates that release programs have been successful, and, in a few jurisdictions, governments have confirmed their programs will be continued beyond the pandemic.” https://www.dlapiper.com/~/media/files/insights/publications/2021/03/dla-piper-prison-population-during-covid-19.pdf?la=en&hash=F5C1EBBA0D3D86BDDA58FAC87DB9EF3CAE3815DF |
| The only thing that is going to stop violent crime immediately in its tracks in any city anywhere is to impose draconian measures like a curfew and mandatory jail time if caught outside during the curfew. The other is to confiscate all guns. Neither are going to happen. All the other solutions (like solving income inequality, common sense gun control, and various social programs) will take too long and will be hard to implement and therefore we will not attempt them or will abandon them. |
They made it so challenging that many police officers quit or retired in large numbers. |
+1 This. With all of the unwarranted BS attacks on law enforcement it’s no surprise that morale is desperately low and police forces are having trouble retaining and recruiting officers. |
Prisons should not have released inmates but use the nursing homes strategy. |

Actually I think a lot of the long term prison population: serial killers, child rapists, 1st degree pre-meditated murderers, school shooters should simply be executed - nothing drawn out - just simple firing squad day after conviction.
ban all assault weapons- period- they are weapons fo war and not intended for civilian areas. Sue the manufacturers every time a civilian is killed with one- ala how the tobacco companies and the opiod big pharma were put on the run. Then, prisons can house for real jail time the rest: robbers, drunk drivers, manslaughter, arson, white colar crime, drug dealers for hard long sentences- including anyone who illegally owns a gun Our society is littered with criminality and especially with regards to pedophiles, rapists and serial killers these people should simply not be among us again- ever. |
Agree. I only wish the tough on crime policing that will inevitable come under Republican rule would extend somehow to the wards of dc. We’re run by an Uber liberal city council that feels bad prospecting criminals and does their best to make life easier for them. I never seem a group of people so identity within criminals over victims. Anyway, I was a Biden voter. Can we get Charlie Baker or Larry Hogan or someone moderate to run? I could vote for them but not for trump. |
They are scared to speak up against the people committing the violence. The fact that went over your head proves that you are clueless. And again, if they vote R, how are things going to change for them? |
