But recently there as a death in the family and I got to experience some of what it is that the are the duties of the police, and they were extremely professional and truly there to help. It can't be something that they look forward to every day, dealing with grieving families and dead bodies, but they do the job.
To me, the USA's sick and twisted enforcement of things considered vice, that is to say, things that are non-crime crimes, is a much larger issue that corrupts across the board.
The drug war and the explosive growth and out of control spending of many departments as a result is corrupting, the militarization of police departments is also another severe problem, and the forfeiture laws and forfeiture related activities of the police are the epitome of corruption.
People are missing the whole point here. The cops do the job the lawmakers dictate. You keep electing these shitbag lawmakers that build careers not on doing what's right for the public, but rather, what's right for generating controversy in order to create divisive political attitudes based on how remarkably stupid the general public here tends to be.
When your legislature is predominantly stupid, corrupt, and exploitative, what do you expect everything else to be ?
Rarely are prosecutors held responsible for their antics. Arguably, they are worse than corrupt cops, as they are not doing what they do for the primary purpose of justice so much as making them look good by fulfilling quotas.
What happened to Schwartz is horrible, but it is relatively trivial compared to what prosecutors get away with every day.
"Big government can't do anything right" crowd is constantly essentially handing our global competitors perpetual advantages, while increasingly sabotaging our economy.
It also amazes me that so many people don't seem to comprehend what a huge game-changer 3D printer tech is and the proliferation of inexpensive 3D printers.
That is quite a failure, because the second you decide someone doesn't deserve basic respect is the moment you've personally created an atmosphere of bullshit that yields nothing productive.
And other officers were also involved, they submitted a report that was false, and they will never be held accountable for their role in attempting to cover the officers ass.
" If you ask me the cop who shot the kid in Ferguson was a coward, he panicked because he was alone and and could not control a black kid who was bigger than him. The last people you want waving a gun around like John Wayne, are fucking cowards."
He wasn't a "kid". The rest of your opinion is similarly fallacious/stupid.
I get that. I wasn't advocating for doing it, I was just saying I'd like to see it done. And not at all for the poetic justice aspect. Being on the receiving end of our militarized and corrupt police would at least give the congress people who have granted them this extended authority some pause that they clearly are lacking now.
And it IS as corrupt as forfeiture. The only reason the funding exists for all that manpower and equipment and the constant search for justification of it's existence is the poorly regulated and enthusiastic use of it.
Are you fucking kidding me ? Someone HAS already been killed by accident, and NOTHING has changed.
Not only that, but the courts have ruled that when the police fuck-up and accidentally SWAT your home, you have NO LEGAL RECOURSE.
Seriously, if you're not knowledgeable enough to be extremely upset about this stuff, at least make an effort to look into how systemic the corruption is and how many people have already been harmed by the police state we are in fact living in.
And I consider being tagged as "Troll" by the idiots here a fucking badge of honor. Tag away, assholes !
Or maybe we could worry a little about the militarized police state we live in, that this guy has done us all a favor by pointing out how seriously flawed it is.
Frankly, I hope more people do the same thing and get creative with it, prank our incompetent congress and the families of DEA agents and other undesirables that have waged an ongoing war on the public now for decades for fun and profit.
about targeting people like this and seeking to defame them and accuse them of things, while at the same time hiding and having no fear of repercussion for what mistakes you make and the innocent people you will inevitably harm along the way.
Vigilantes aren't heroes; they aren't seeking justice of any sort, they are not out to actually change anything.
All they really accomplish is destruction and the induction of fear.
Pedophilia is bad. But so is the use of confidential underage informants by the police in the USA every day. DA's and prosecutors take part in this fiasco, children have died as a result, yet nobody really cares.
If you're going to take the high road when it come to the harming of children, start with the war on drugs and the cops, district attorneys, the DEA, and the courts role in the systematic exploitation of children to justify the militarization of the police force and SWAT teams and bloated law enforcement budgets.
Insisting that pedophiles that have acted on their proclivities be convicted based on things called evidence and due process shouldn't make you a target by an organized group of anonymous basement dwellers.
I drive several modern computer-designed vehicles on a regular basis, including a Dodge Intrepid.
A tach is absolutely essential simply because the engine and passenger compartment in a modern vehicle is so quiet that it is remarkably easy to red-line it without even noticing.
Engine life and fuel economy are reliant on a tach. It's really that simple.
I'd never buy a used car from somebody that doesn't have a tach and doesn't understand this.
"There essentially no controls on the medical tort industry in it."
Fuck you. No, really, fuck you and everybody like you that seeks to thwart the ability of patients to sue incompetent medical people that prey on everybody.
A series of fear-based statements without anything to back them up.
This isn't about our culture vs. their culture. This is about stupid assholes destroying our culture from within, and making it more like their supposed culture, out of sheer ignorance and fear.
It's idiotic, you're idiotic, what the fuck is wrong with you assholes, do you all have fucking amnesia or something ?

Complete fabrication

Hate my generation.

What are you, twelve years old ?
Every adult he's encountered from his teachers to the sheriff are idiots and liars, not to be trusted.
And other officers were also involved, they submitted a report that was false, and they will never be held accountable for their role in attempting to cover the officers ass.
Why not ? The software and hardware would make it possible to IDENTIFY the species. Troll.
But you'll still buy crap off Amazon.

"My experience with taxis has been that they're almost always clean, safe and reliable."
Thanks, I had to laugh out loud at that statement.
So your limited experience with something in your limited area trumps the experiences of everybody else everywhere else ?
Your comments are the very definition of fallacious.
Take a cold, hard look at some of the shit US National Sheriffs' Association does, and you'll have a difficult time sleeping at night.
It isn't any "ethically worse" though, it was just easier to do before, and easier to conceal.
Anything that makes the government's dirty little unethical secrets more obvious I am all for.
Privacy isn't a crime, encryption isn't a crime, protecting yourself from an out of control corportogovernment is not a crime.

uh, uh, finds a way...
It's all smoke and mirrors, none of these asshats care about the public, much less the poor and middle class.
