The ***** dude? Literally any warrant with a gun comes back and that traffic stop turns to a felony stop real fast. Out the ***** car, back up toward me, put your face on the ground.

That's my guess too. Looks like Donald went easy on him tbh. Still wonder what the full story is.

Of the 1000 people killed by police officers every year, an extremely small fraction of those are unjustified. Daunte Wright is one of about five black men who get killed without justification by a police officer per year. Basically the odds of being struck by lightning. It's impossible to "do better" in this regard. It's down to the level of a freakish act of nature. And yet it's the core justification for overturning the way our criminal justice system works. The "progressive" movement isn't one of science or facts - it's one of emotional manipulation. Which is why it's working. When local police are abolished or defunded, they won't be replaced by social workers. This is a bait and switch. Local police will be replaced by national goon squads that bully normal people over what we would consider trivial stuff. This is what the progressive movement actually wants, because local police and sheriff's departments are some of the last institutions that wield violence outside of the national regime's control. The regime doesn't actually want to prevent police shootings, they want to employ them against their chosen targets.

Frankly I'm not sure how an external safety would help anyway. Cops that carry handguns with external safeties are trained to switch it to "fire" from "safe" during the draw. If your gun is out of the holster it should be ready to fire. Even drawing down is considered use of force and needs to be justified as such. If you're drawing your firearm and not switching the safety to "fire" you're essentially using your gun as a threat instead of what it is: a deadly weapon.

Anyone who talks about disproportionality in police shootings with regard to race who doesn't also mention this well-documented fact (not to mention homicides of police officers) is being deliberately deceptive in the interest of maintaining a narrative. They really aren't worth engaging with on any significant level. Not if they carry a Glock. No external safety.

Every nation on earth has a police force that carries guns in at least some capacity. Without the ability to use deadly force, law enforcement is impossible.

You do realize that placing handcuffs on someone is physical man on man contact, right? It doesn’t have to be violent but that’s what it is. And it’s also the point at which the situation is most likely to go south. And when that happens you’re too close for a taser to be effective. You got hands and feet and your body weight and fighting know-how at that point.

So abolish the police. Got it. Just for kicks do you know how many “bad shoots” of African Americans there are per year?

I don’t know about Gaetz and Kavanaugh but statutory is still rape, still a crime, and absolutely should be categorized as such, complete with registration. Frankly I’m not that interested in what the right and left and up and down have to say about it. Ignore the confidence in the stats all you want, but you won’t find solutions until you acknowledge the problems.

Homicide, waaayyyy over policed man. Legalize it!

Yeah, that silly crime of forcible rape is really over policed. “I don’t say ‘that’s racist’ but that’s racist!” Ever heard of the National Crime Victimization Survey? Oh, and you’re a ***** idiot.

I’m saying do your little per capita dance with the race/ethnicity breakdown of violent crime offenders.

lol now do homicides, sexual assaults, and robberies.

Black is the other popular finish.

Bright yellow is one of the more popular Taser finishes.

To your first point, we train officers that you don’t make contact with a subject in a vehicle that can still move. Ain’t ***** worth getting dragged. You can find the shitbag at a later date because he’ll never stop being a shitbag. And what happened to Daunte Wright is the direct result of neglecting and underfunding training for cops. All that being said, if you comply you never get an accidental stress response like the one young Mr. Wright received. No, he was trying to run from a felony warrant.

Regarding making the decision now, they can still revisit at some point later on but this is probably done after consulting with the governor's office.

Was that the RGIII game? Pretty fun to watch as far as drought games go.

Not a big 90s alt/grunge guy in general but “Spoonman” by Soundgarden is pretty dope.

I haven’t really been able to watch. Just makes me sad. My wife tried to show me a clue and I hated whichever host it was. I think at the end of it we’ll find they keep none of these folks on permanently and it was just a nice way to get over the hump of no Alex for the next permanent host.

That would be a very Cinci thing to do but I think they go with Sewell. Almost inevitable that Miami gets Pitts or Chase, it would seem, and depending on what the Falcons do with the 4th pick they may get to pick whichever is their favorite.

I could have told them that for the low low price of a 30 rack of Blue Light

You misunderstand in the sense that my post was not making moral statements, but factual ones. As you’re aware I received a vaccine well before most people did and feel no need to moralize about it when speaking to the circumstances at large.

Rest in Power

lol one of the murderers responsible for Waco is gonna head the ATF. Can't make this ***** up. AND he ***** lied about it on Reddit of all the goddamn places. Using reddit should be a disqualifier for any appointed or elected government position in the Union.
