[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re just never going to convince the “defund the police” folks. They really believe that police officers just rampantly kill people who are not a threat to them. It’s actually been really interesting watching news stories about people dying or being injured during police encounters in the past year or so, then later when the camera footage is released, the media loses interest because guess what — the camera footage shows that the criminal was armed, aggressive, and a huge threat to the cops. Those cameras almost always aren’t working out like the “defund the police” folks had hoped because they show that police use of force is almost always justified.

So the idea that police wantonly kill innocent black people is total BS but there is an entire industry devoted to convincing people that it is happening. And SS will continue to spiral into a place where fewer and fewer people want to live and visit because there are fewer police and the crime will get worse.

You ever heard of the "broken windows" theory of policing? ask yourself why it doesn't get applied to the police.[/quote]

I have a hard time respecting the authority of the police if they behave almost as badly as the criminals they are supposed to be policing.  Every LEO needs to know that.[/quote]

And that make absolute sense. The questions that remain: 
1. Do most officers actually behave as badly as criminals? Statistics posted upthread suggest that isn’t the case at all, as we see over 99% of stops having no use of force at all. Officers who perform poorly should absolutely be fired, but should the many who perform admirably be vilified simply for serving as officers? 
2. How should we address the rising crime in DTSS? What role should police play? [/quote]

1. We know that 99% stops refuse to report use of force. If coos don’t report use of force they should be fired.
2. Education, housing, food, police don’t stop crime, never have, never will. They do harass, lie and falsely stats.[/quote]
Please explain what any of this has to do with a man murdered in the stairwell of a parking garage while out to dinner with his family. [/quote]
