When you have SecondcityCop bail on you this quickly, you are probably fucked.

Police will never be held to the same legal standard as private citizens because there is no value in doing so. This would be even more true if police were to be privatized. That being the case, how do you live in the world knowing that your continued existence will effectuate absolutely zero meaningful change?

Something happened. I've seen officers speaking out all day.

It sounds like you are saying Ogie is full of it because he says he would change if x happened, but he knows x (i.e., cops are stripped of qualified immunity) won't happen, so his promise to "change his tune" is an empty one. Is that what you are saying, SS? I was just curious.

The menstrual cycle changes among Hassidic Jewish women was something as well.

Saw on tv lot of looting. The local minn target. These guys Who are looters are scum. They don’t give a shit about what happened.

Why isn’t that cop in Jail for murder?

My opinions and observations regarding other law enforcement agencies and officers tends to be placed into an imaginary binder that I keep tucked behind the seat of my pickup truck.

I wait before commenting on anything, because usually there is information that might not revealed on a first pass.

Minneapolis is different. I have no firsthand knowledge of what led to the incident, but nothing merits anything that I observed.

I know there are cops who make mistakes. I make mistakes. My professional comrades make mistakes. What I saw was not a mistake. It wasn't a lack of training. What I saw was horrific, and evil.

I know what I would have done if I had been there, but it doesn't matter, because I wasn't there. Society has every right to be disgusted and demand that justice be quickly served.

George Floyd deserved to be here today. Society, and his family should be both heartbroken and outraged.

Now, we have to be better. We have to make sure that we cleanse our ranks from those who should never have done this job.

What you should also know is that we do our best to keep the wrong people out of this career field. We have an arduous interview process, polygraph exams, psychological examinations, physical testing, and yet, we still sometimes employee persons who should not be in the field.

We recruit from the human race, and we don't always get it right. We need to do better to rid the ranks of those who do not have the ability to control themselves as well as those who do not have the internal fire to intercede when the going gets tough.

There are days that I wish I had retired five years ago; May 25th 2020 was one of those days.

I know I speak for most cops when I say, I am so sorry that we didn't do better.

The indifferent brutality seems to have freaked people out.

Good observation. The continuing to kneel on a dead guy's neck and look so nonchalant. It's the lasting image of the video.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

since you are seemingly posting this in good faith, I'll bite.

Before I did have my wife and my family, I did actually sign to put it on the line for something I believe in when I moved to Israel and joined the IDF. I'm proud I did it but in my current life position, I wouldn't do it as you take on other responsibilities when you become a husband and father and yes those responsibilities trump any political belief. If that makes me a coward, so be it, I've already signed to put my life at risk for one cause I believe in and that was fulfilling enough when I had the chance. That's more than most will do in their lives and it's something I'm proud of.

As for police, I've never advocated getting rid of them. I would very quickly change my tune if our society and legal system held police to the same standard that you or I are held to. As it stands, police seemingly have a license to rob, kill, and get away with just about any other crime you can name. If courts in this country regularly held people like the cop who murdered Philando Castile responsible for their actions, I would have a different approach, but pretty much every thing I have seen in my life has given me no hope of that happening anytime soon. Qualified immunity is still a thing and departments line up to defend their worst.

So what are your thoughts on Palestinians clashing with the IDF? Isn't that what you are advocating for here with the killing of police officers? A group with nothing left to lose targeting their perceived oppressors?

They've been offered 1967 lines with land swaps on multiple occasions so they were granted what their demands were but walked away from the table as their true intention is the destruction of Israel. Quite simply, they made their bed and they can sleep in it now.

As things stand now, there are absolutely no Israelis in Gaza. In the West Bank, Area A and most of Area B is under complete PA control and administration

Fuck the police...except the police force I actively sought to join

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

I am a person who naturally respects authority. I try to see things from the officers perspective as well. I usually fall back on that the person didn’t wake up that morning wanting to kill someone. I cannot say that in this guys case

I would think he would’ve picked a far less public spot , a much more deserving person and a more “ justified” circumstance had that been the case

That Target could have been someone's son!

Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.

I don't think being in an infantry brigade standing across from Hezbollah on the Lebanese border even remotely resembles police work.

It appears your thoughts don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.
