In other news (haven’t read your link yet): Maybe the police should just stop responding to calls for like a week. See how everyone likes that.

So, The Purge? You want to have a week long Purge? Hope you own guns bro

That is very clearly not what I want


To some extent we see this happening already in SFO and NYC, right? Baltimore appears to be signing up as well.*


*not the establishment of Bammer Autonomous Zones, but reduced enforcement scoping for police

I wish people would focus on the fact that having too many laws, too many police, and too much discretion over which laws to selectively enforce is a major contributor to all of these issues. Sign me up for reduced enforcement, even if decriminalization and repeal are better options.


This is a lot different than what Bammer said, which seems to be a week off so everyone appreciates them again. I know he probably doesn’t believe this, but I’ve heard plenty of people in real life say stuff like this, and they think this is a good argument.

it's a complex problem that lots of people don't fully grasp. which just means they probably don't really care.

I don't watch any of these videos, ever -- including George Floyd -- and just let the articles inform my opinions. How do you guys stomach this stuff? I may have watch too many Faces of Death vids in high school, but my appetite for this stuff is non-existent.

This. Really don't get how people accept reasoning from what is supposed to be a protective institution that they wouldn't accept from their 4 year-old.

I assumed it was some reference to the quote (allegedly) from Einstein "If you can't explain it to a six year old...". But no reason to be a jerk. One :heartbeat:

First time I ever flew to New York I got off at the wrong stop on the train and there was an ad there for police department job for €14 an hour.
They were just advertising it on boards.
Here you have to do a full four year college course(corrupt as all fuck) to be an officer.
Had a weird chat with myself.

If that’s enough? It’s probably not enough at all.

Do you think that's a lot of money for a terrible job in a high cost of living area outside of the ghetto?
