Kcalhoun You are so right. the overwhelming amount of cops are indeed heroes. our greatest heroes are veterans and cops, not these fake outraged liberals. the biggest threat to society are wimpy white liberals who dont have the guts to march in protest in black neighborhoods where many citizens are held hostage by thugs. they are spineless cowards.
My wife was an EMT in East Tampa (rough part of town) and now is a fire medic with the county. The abuse she had to take and the entitled attitudes of those calling 911 for insanely trivial things (mainly as an EMT) is crazy. Need a ride across town...call 911. Need a fix...call 911 with the correct symptoms (and potentially turn violent when denied drugs). I can tell you having police officers at the ready is an absolute must...shit can go sideways very quickly when handling a lot of these calls.
These ass clowns in Minneapolis that want to disband the police and start over with something "that will keep us safe" lol. Yeah, thats called a police department! They try to make it sound transformational but really all they are saying is we want to rehire. And where are these new amazing super cops going to come from that are going to stop criminals with their intellect? And the car wash down the street would love to replace there employees with Ivy League grads but ummm good luck with that.
Yeah, great idea. After the Freddie Gray riots, the police have stepped back. Its done wonders for the murder rate of Baltimore hasn't it.
You'd think people who save lives (Nurses, Doctors, EMTs, Firefighters) would be the actual heroes. Or teachers who have to put up with your snot nosed entitled brat for hours every single day for less pay than a starbucks manager. American hero worship is more of a cult. As an American I don't really understand it at all. But hey, if you want to lick the boot of someone who would club you to death for interrupting their lunch who am I stop you and your cult from doing it.
True. But it would be different personnel. Union contracts would have prevented them from wholesale replacing officers. They want to do an end-around the contract. Probably won't hold up during arbitration/in a NLRB hearing/in court. It's both. They probably don't have to be amazing, super cops. They probably just have to respect citizens; avoid excessive force; be truthful; follow the rules; and intervene during a crime, etc.; even if it's being committed by an 'officer.' You'll find them where you find people to employ. The same places cops came from before being hired and trained.
Cunty biker gangs trying to act tough. lol how ironic as their pockets are probably overflowing with meth for dealing in town.
