They charged the 21 year-old with him with the gun.
Dude, we’re seeing them 3 or 4 times a week.
Bet if they brought in the Capitol police to deal with the Minnesota riots libs would sing a different song about the Capitol police huh?
I’m not following?
Even good cops can have a bad day.
No. Not at the cost of a life.
Yes stats don’t work on this issue I found out a long time ago. Seems to be a crusade to end policing. As long as they don’t do it here I say let them run their experiment.
unjustified
As determined by whom?
The armor is tarnished now. They’d better adjust.
No. Not at the cost of a life.
Not at the cost of any life regardless if you (c) are a cop or not.
tzu:
Is that zero?
Is ‘police contact’ the right metric?
Do you see how statistics is entirely the wrong lens, and as used by Altair, merely a legerdemain?
Is it zero? No. Considering it’s less than 1 out of 2,000,000 though yes that’s statistically pretty dang low.
Do I think that means it needs to be ignored? No. But neither is it some wave sweeping the nation.
They violate rights constantly. We hear about the worst cases. They lie, threaten. They’re out of control and we did it. Everything is a reason for stop and ID.
Seems to be a crusade to end policing.
In certain areas, yes. Not in others.
I say let them run their experiment.
It has been run. Think of Detroit.
Seems like what the libs want is to pigeon-hole folks into blighted communities where no one can prosper in an honest fashion.
Same thing they are doing at the border.

Many are not out of control. Many more are not out of control than are.
If everything is a reason to stop, then it is the people who are ignorant of laws being passed and vote or don’t vote.
For instance, I had NO IDEA that hanging an air freshener from your rear view mirror was illegal. How about all of the folks I see hanging face masks now on their rear view mirrors? Is that illegal, too?
What if I douse it in Fa-breeze before I hang it up?
Edit to add, I think hanging anything from your mirror is tacky just like bumper stickers.
Many are not out of control.
Yes they are because the law is out of control.
Is that illegal, too?
Yes. In Texas, if you start your car to warm it up in the winter and go back in the house, the cops can cite you.

Thus, the point of the rest of my post.
Yes. In Texas, if you start your car to warm it up in the winter and go back in the house, the cops can cite you.
Who voted to allow that?
WuWei:Yes. In Texas, if you start your car to warm it up in the winter and go back in the house, the cops can cite you.
Who voted to allow that?
I didn’t.
In 2015 police made contact with civilians 52,000,000 times. How many resulted in an unjustified shoot?
If it was 20, then that would be .000038%
I hate it when the pesky truth gets in the way of a narrative.
I didn’t.
Of course you didn’t.
How many people are oblivious and what responsibility do they have for laws they find are asinine?

Representatives.
Representatives.
Pelosi is Speaker of the House. What part of America voted for her and who does she really represent?
How about we hold the voters responsible for the laws that get passed that are asinine?

She represents the part of the country which has no problem with people dropping their pants and taking a dump on the street.
