It's up to you. This thread is in no danger of disappearing.

 

 

I'm not worried about that. Just torn between having another thread for discussing the broader topic, and spreading it out to where we're having the same conversation in multiple threads.

We have to weigh the utility of having multiple threads vs. the opportunity to have one more thread that we can have monkeys slinging poop at humans.

those two problems aren't exclusive. 

 

Police need less money to fund whatever the hell they do like buy jet skis and cheese puffs and that money needs to go towards better education and training. Police departments are so mismanaged and corrupt in this country its embarrassing. only brainwashed fools think there is nothing wrong with them. 

 

But you haven't answered the question. How does less money to the police equal more justice for unarmed black people? This is what you have argued, so you must have some point to support your statement.

 

Also, we discussed the jet skis (for patrolling the three public lakes in Austin) and cheese puffs (snacks on hand for when they bring in victims of domestic violence). But your inability to understand those truths notwithstanding, answer the question above. Or perhaps you really don't know what you mean when you say "Defund the police."

defund police=allocate money towards better training/education=not shooting black men in the streets

Are you an expert at municipal budgeting with a specialty on policing needs? 

 

I'll ask again because I didn't get an answer the first time.  What are the jet skis used for?

What degree would you want them to have and how would that degree help them become the police officer you'd like them to be?

Why do you need to lower their salaries to provide more money for training and education? Why can't they just do better training and education? Why take money from the the people who protect us every day?

  Training and education? Come on (not you personally)!?  This would be the first step in creating no go zones for cops as they would lack the manpower to be effectively present in certain areas.  There is an endgame to lawlessness for these people.  That they simply do not have to abide by any laws.  Which makes enterprises such as theft and drug dealing easier to operate.

When will BLM make a 10 point plan on what to do about black men shooting black men?

 

I'm listening.

now imagine if that was a black man holding a rifle and pointing a gun towards innocent people 

They were a mob that had broken through a gate in a private community.

Chicago man killed 2 teens after they asked how tall he was, police say

They noted how tall he was while buying candy at a convenience store in the city

By David Aaro | Fox News

 

A Chicago man is accused of killing two teenagers at a convenience store this month after they asked how tall he was, authorities said on Thursday.

 

Laroy Battle, 19, reportedly opened fire on Jasean Francis, 17, and Charles Riley, 16, in a back ally around 5 p.m. on June 20 after they and a friend walked home from buying candy at the store -- following a brief encounter with the suspect.

 

"The victims commented, because, since Battle is quite tall, and they asked him how tall he was and you know, hoped to be that tall someday," Deputy Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan told Chicago's WLS-TV. "And unfortunately, obviously we'll never see the full growth of these poor children."
