Beast Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 4 minutes ago, GregPersons said: No no no. This is where people are getting confused on this stuff, that absolutely does not need to be how this happens. And the key to it is right there — guns can't be part of this. There needs to be measures of accountability. Guns on every cop cannot be part of a solution moving forward. We have to learn from our mistakes. Look at the amount of evidence. Guns on cops directly saving people <<<<<<< guns on cops directly killing people. It's not close. Our country is still massively immature and disrespectful to the power of guns. They are treated like toys and given out like candy. All guns need to be like sniper rifles with SWAT Teams... Guns need to be part of very specialized, trained taskforces called in for extreme situations. They are not needed for everyday mediations, nor for the types of community services needed from police. If some ####### with a gun starts going around threatening or shooting people, then you call in your Gun Team. If some ####### is going around threatening and hitting people with his bare hands, then that should be something a proper police force should be able to handle without weapons.

And also do away with welfare while we are at it. Get rid of all these social programs. If people want security, hire privately or arm yourself. If people want to give to the poor, then give to the poor of your choice. Seriously, let’s start this in the major cities and see how it goes from there. ...modeling after Chicago would be a good start, right?.... 2 1

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 ...if this is all about racism, how does this happen?..... Scores of minority-owned small businesses in Santa Monica turn to crowdfunding sites for help after being burned, looted and vandalized By Hollie McKay | Fox News In the aftermath of riots descending on Santa Monica on Sunday, more than 17 local businesses – damaged and looted inside the beachside enclave – have had to turn to the crowdfunding site GoFundMe for immediate assistance, their future existence in jeopardy. "Communities like Santa Monica, California were ideal for this round of protests and riots because they fit the agenda of 'bringing the pain to the affluent,'" Dennis Santiago, a Los Angeles-based Global Risk, and Financial Analyst told Fox News. "The area of the city looted and vandalized is a focal point of the liberal, easy-going, and diverse values tolerant ethos of that community. This belief set is what was brutally shattered by these events." While looters in many cities have pledged to focus on large franchises and companies for their thieving, much of what was decimated in Santa Monica was already struggling small businesses. https://www.foxnews.com/us/small-business-santa-monica-crowdfunding-help-looted

Essentially what I"m talking about are field doctors for mental/social issues. Can you please give examples of where field doctors where sent in to stop a mass shooter, a rape, drug cartels, looting, high speed chases, homicides, battery, domestic assaults, etc.? If you think a field doctor is going to walk up to some "crazy ass people shooting bows & arrows in public" and give them a hug and the world will be right again, then God help us all.
