THIS is what's meant by "defunding the police." Nobody wants the police to be completely drained and dissolved - they want their excessive funding to be liquidated and redispursed to EMS, mental health professionals, etc and have the remaining funds cover non-lethal training, talk-down tactics, etc.

Wasn't a mental health emergency, per se, dude had shot a few people and gone on the run, this was the end of a big manhunt. Can't remember his name...

Nah. In this case he was getting shot if he had a weapon. The dibble tried to take him alive using a taser round but it didn't work. They did talk for about 7 hours before that happened though.

Yeah, the inquest found that it was a suicide, but you can see something like that discouraging the widespread issuing of taser shotguns.

It certainly led to a backlash against their use because it was actually experimental and not approved for use.

When the alternative is to just shoot the guy with an actual bullet I can see where incentive to give it a go came from. Especially since the guy had shot a cop so the police would want it to look like they did everything possible to bring him in alive.

Unfortunately he’s not wrong. We are cruising very fast towards an all out race war which is going to end with the genocide of a lot of people.

IdPol is not helping at all. The poor black man has more in common with the poor white man than they have with their rich counterparts. All IdPol is doing is aiding the white nats/supremacists in their quest for racial domination.


There are quite a few rich men and women that want to help, but are too afraid of getting into politics due to IdPol. The system is mostly perpetuated by those who became wealthy from manipulation, rather than invention, but we must equalize education among all classes, rather than forcing the poor to learn SJWism instead of Shakespeare, while the rich learn Shakespearean Thought.

The majority of the protesters were peaceful, but when you pretend that there were no rioters, or that there were very few rioters, when your own HQ is on fire...

Yep, except for a short time period in the late 1930s and early 1940s, which lasted less than a decade.

Yes, I'm referring the Nazi Germany. When your dictator starts a World War while committing Genocide, you're the biggest threat.

Not all people who want to defend the police are abolitionists but all abolitionists necessarily want to defend the police because you don't fund something that doesn't exist. And not all abolitionists have the same of idea of what abolition looks like.

I totally support the use of Tranqs. No one gets hurt hopefully and they aren't deadly.

Effective use of tranqs would require not only determining the kind of drug that would quickly knock someone out without ODing and killing them but it would also require estimating the weight of who they're gonna hit with them since tranquilizers don't affect everyone the same, so combined that would be using tranq darts nigh on impossible.
