What are they supposed to do? The DA won’t prosecute. The police does not want the risk of being called racists. And the population keeps voting for the leaders who perpetuate this. At some point, it becomes hard to make a case that local population does not want things to be this way.
- renewiltord 5y agoThis is good. It means we can recover some of the spending by cutting the police budget. After all, if the police will not enforce, then we can just not have them. We can substitute them with lower paid unarmed people in cars with blue or red lights who go around with flashlights. The police budget is at $650+ million. I think I could cut that by a $100 million this year using these techniques. I’m willing to do it for 25% of one year’s worth of savings. If you will increase it to 30%, I can also ensure that the substitutes are trained to say the same things publicly. That way you get the same outcome for less spending.
- g42gregory 5y agoWell, that's all sounds good if the crime keeps happening to "other" people. But what if criminals start coming near your neighborhood? Then what?
- Doxin 5y agoWell clearly then the police will stand around doing nothing. Might as well pick people with a lower salary to stand around and do nothing.
- dTal 5y ago>We can substitute [police] with lower paid unarmed people in cars with blue or red lights who go around with flashlights. That's still police. You don't need lethal force to do police work, ya know?
- renewiltord 5y agoThat is part of joke, monseigneur.
- dTal 5y agoForgive me; text is a poor vehicle for subtle irony.
