Anonymous Coward User ID: 78083827 Canada 07/30/2020 08:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Cops shot a guy just around the corner from my home, he was reported for walking down a road without a sidewalk. The cops followed him to his back yard and shot him like a dozen times. That was 4 years ago and those same cops and been getting 120k per year while they wait for the investigation to begin. Yes, we can certainly defund a majority of policy enforcement officers, they are no longer peace officers, their primary duty is to get enough money extracted from the population to pay their cities massive debt loads. Peace keeping is secondary. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78165175 United States 07/30/2020 09:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The police have made my life a living hell for years. Multiple departments. I have not committed any crime. They want me to keep my mouth shut about their dirty deeds. Even though I have they keep coming at me, attacking me and putting their guns to my head to keep my mouth shut. That is the reality of the police. The only difference between cops and street hoods are the cops have badges, uniform and are better equipped to harm you. Who spends their life thinking, oh if don't have the police now I am going to commit X crime. No one thinks that way other than the brainwashed sheep into supporting their oppressors. |

Whose pockets are they lining there? Defunding the police is one of the most stupidest things I've ever heard of in my life. Clearly, this is a communist plot. |

Alot of the things people dislike or hate about police happens because the cops are put in places and situations they shouldn't be in, as they are unqualified for anything except maintaining the peace through intimidation and threats of violence.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 74838896 United States 07/30/2020 09:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It means that the poor police will only get 25% of the entire city budget instead of the lion's share at 50%+. It means that maybe some of the potholed roads can get paved and re-striped for once. And maybe some of the broken down park equipment can be fixed. Maybe the libraries can get some decent computers, the possibilities are almost limitless! |

User ID: 61918456 United States 07/30/2020 09:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It looks like fucking sheer bedlam where the law abiding are on their own. Everyone better be armed everywhere they go as well as have their permission slip (i.e. CCW license) if required in your locality and a firm grasp of the law regarding lethal force. Having an attorney specializing in self defense on retainer wouldn't be a bad idea either. Me personally, I work for a major utility in my area. I am armed. My company frowns on that. I know, God forbid, if I have to use it - I'm fired. I don't give a flying Fuck as long as I'm golden in the eyes of the law (permission slip, righteous shoot, legally obtained firearm, etc.). I will deal with the fallout of shooting/killing a scumbag. It will be a draining affair but I will be alive. I'm not a tough guy and I hope I am never put in a position where I need to test my preparation. |
