EMT 6/6/20: A Small Rant edition
Look, I'm not even going to pretend:
I am enjoying the hell out of all this blue on blue shitstorm. This is a fiasco entirely of their own making, and it couldn't happen to a finer collection of race-baiters, intersectional virtue-signallers and tin-pot despots than you could ever imagine. Fuck them and their cities. If you are unfortunate enough to be a conservative stuck in that mess, well, it's not like you didn't have enough warning and opportunity to relocate. So I feel for you, but I'm honestly not losing any sleep over you. And if you are a cop with your hands tied or even thrown under the BLM bus by the liberal overlords whose campaigns you funded with all your union dues, fuck you too. You LEOs bear a big part of the blame. You could have chosen against playing GI Joe and instead kept being community members. But no, that wasn't cool enough for you was it. No, you had to gear up and commence to no-knocking and killing dogs and killing actual innocent people, and especially and ESPECIALLY: circling the wagons for the very worst of you. To all the apologists: Whatevs. You've lived a charmed life untouched by the asshole cop with a chip on his shoulder completely out of proportion to his skill, intelligence, experience or moral rectitude. Let me share a snapshot of me and my experiences.I've never committed nor been charged with a crime, but I've had more bad experiences with cops than good, across several states & communities, from the county Sherriff's deputy up to the State Police.
My first speeding ticket ever came a week after getting my DL, and it was for going 5 mph over down a 6% grade. My second speeding ticket a year later was from a cop who closed on me like a bat out of hell on a moonless night, tailgated me for 5 miles with his high-beams on, refused to pass when I slowed down through two passing zones, then lit up the blues when I tried to put some distance between us. His exact words: "I gave you enough rope to hang yourself har har." I've had my car broken into by the cops for being parked in an ungated municipal parking lot 30 minutes past close. I've had a sidearm drawn on me for expired tags by 3 days, my hands on the wheel and before a single word was exchanged. I've had a cop park across 3 parking spaces so close to my business entrance my employees couldn't unload stock for 20 minutes, and then try to intimidate me when I politely asked him to move. Just last year I was robbed of several tens of thousands of dollars and caught the perps dead to rights on film along with 2 eyewitnesses on the scene, and I had to drag the local P.D. kicking and fucking screaming to an arrest. I was literally told "I just don't know if there is enough evidence there to make it stick." I had to go up 4 levels of the chain of command over 2 and a half months for the "detective" to interview the witnesses; he lied about calling and leaving multiple messages for them. He left only one message and the call was returned within 5 minutes, and he refused to answer his phone and lied nonstop about not receiving any voice mails from the witness or from me. And lied, finally, when he assured me he would let me know when the perps were released on bail. Don't get me wrong. I've had some good experiences. But for an average looking white feller that doesn't draw attention, that isn't an asshole (in public), who is always respectful to any officer, whose last speeding ticket was decades ago, that doesn't break laws and that doesn't even have any friends with rap sheets... you would think he would be able to easily say he's had good experiences with Johnny Law on balance, rather it being so decidedly the reverse. We created and gave our justice system the authority to prosecute crimes. We did this because we rightly determined that an impartial arbiter was a more likely to provide a fair outcome than finding a rope and a tree. Make no mistake: this is at its core a social contract, and if the justice system willfully reneges on their end of the bargain, the rope and the tree comes back into play. So seriously: Get Right, or get the fuck bent. And until you decide, you can go ahead and cry me a fucking river. Maybe then you can at least catch yourselves a nicely up-armored boat out of whatever cesspool you've helped pollute. And finally: You'll excuse me if I enjoy just a bit of schadenfreude that you don't feel like you are getting the respect and support you think you are due. For what it's worth: we the public in no small part and across ideological lines feel pretty much the same way.Comments

Wow, Krakatoa speaks. I like it and agree except I live in the state with Detroit. It has never been the same since the 67 riots. They are a drain on our state and that is no good.

Yeah boy, we sure hate the cops and the cops are bad.
We need some new laws to prevent.....
Who will enforce those laws?

I saw this coming in 2007. Took to 2011 to convince my wife to move from Occupied Northern Virginia to rural Kansas.
Commies and totalitarians are so predictable.
The bad news is they unlearned and unreasoning Left have infiltrated education and government. Even here.

The police are agents of the state and not the people and are there to enforce the states laws.
As the state views the people so to shall their enforcers.
But having said that, we do need policing, and by and large, cops do an adequate job of policing.
Could they be better?
Perhaps.
But that would require a better political class.
As they say, shit roles down hill.

Thanks for the newz Vic.
On the "Big Blue mayors and other slugs try to explain away why forced shutdowns and lock downs applied to the average citizen while it doesn't apply to criminal rioters. It doesn't fly."
We went to the cemetery yesterday to get flowers on my mom and dad's grave. As we drove in there was a sign that said something about no more than 10 people at a gravesite.
Meanwhile, 5 miles away there was a protest going on with a couple of hundred (supposedly) people that were standing shoulder to shoulder, kneeling on the intersection, laying on the intersection
But that's okay

I am up at the krak of dawn and boy am I thankful!
Because now I can calm my worries about just what the CEO of Dollar Shave Club thinks about racism...
"centuries of injustice..." (!!!)
There's been no shortage of voices in the chorus. After a week of important and raw conversations and reflection here at DSC, we want to add ours.
First, we unequivocally, loudly and vehemently condemn all forms of racist thought and action, from the deliberate and reprehensible to the unconscious but insidious. To us, there is no distinction.
Second, we are horrified and enraged by the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery as well as by the race-driven deaths of countless other black men & women in the United States. And while we are heartened by the scenes of people voicing protest and by the flood of public messages from both individuals and organizations we are equally disheartened that it takes a string of tragedies, on the heels of centuries of injustice, to spur appropriate action on racism in America. We believe what matters is what we do when events like these are not front and center.
Third, we recognize that our record is not perfect. We recognize that choices we make every day in our operations - where and with whom we choose to advertise, who we choose as suppliers or vendors, among others - matter. They are each an opportunity to demonstrate our values, and we haven't always gotten it right. That changes now.
DSC understands its responsibility to take action, and we will be part of the change. The everyday change. The change that no doubt will take time, but that will begin immediately and continue relentlessly.
Here's where we're starting:
--- We will be conducting an audit of our relationships with suppliers, vendors and media & advertising partners to ensure that we are not doing business with anyone who falls on the wrong side of this issue.
--- We believe in a diverse workforce and will ensure we are all equipped with appropriate strategies to combat racism of any kind in our workplace and beyond. These have always been core values, but we will redouble our efforts - from hiring practices to team training and education to pay equality.
--- Action matters and conversation matters, but financial support matters too. Alongside each of our Unilever sister brands, DSC will contribute $100,000 to Black Lives Matter. Additionally, for every dollar that our employees collectively donate to this cause, DSC's leadership team will personally match those dollars, up to $25,000.
Until then, we stand in solidarity with those impacted by systemic racism and violence, and those fighting against it. We hear you, we see you, we are with you.
Michael Dubin, CEO
Annnd, bye-bye, Dollar Shave Club. Those who support Black Lives Matter shall not be getting my business.

I think thats the most I ever saw Krak write. I was once held up at shot gun point by a landlord and his friend, they chased us out and took everything of value for back rent. We tried to pay the rent but couldn't find them, and when we called the cops they were of no help. Because we were stinking hippys. Had to hire a lawyer and pay him and the back rent to get my stuff back. I decided that at 18 I was on a bad path in life, cut all my hair off and joined the Army and never looked back.

This has probably been shared already, but for those who haven't seen it, here's what happens when a dad and little girl try to leave Houston's Childrens Hospital amidst the mob of peaceful protesters. Happy some of the protesters tried to help the two. Poor kid, so scared.

On couple days had not much to do finally made a graph of Pennsylvania deaths associated with Covid-19. If you could see it its obvious they fk with the numbers.
In last 6 weeks evey week is same if slowly less than the previous.
Sunday is average, Monday is the least, Tuesday a little more, Wednesday is big increase, Thursday is off the chart, Friday back to less than Wednesday and Saturday is lesser than Friday.
6 weeks every week is the same.
Wisconsin was a good pick in for my log as they have no more than 13 a day as a high, single digits as low but no spikes as the big states do.

Because of a family member's situation we had numerous encounters with State Police. We lived in a town that didn't fund its own force. They were decent in the 1980s but starting around the late 1990s a shift in their attitude and comportment occurred. I remember one guy, he was an angel. He didn't really fit in with the new breed, I wonder what happened to him?

Too many many rules, laws, and regulations. Every day the average person can break several laws not really understanding how that happened. The beloved illegal alien breaks hundreds of laws over the course of their invasion and are praised as model citizen. In many poor communities 911 is on speed dial, many times to settle simple family matters (someone ate all my chicken) or act as parents for children that literally are un-parented.
Getting rid of the police that sit under overpasses to write tickets, setup to catch 5 miles over in a school zone, and kick in door to catch someone smoking a joint would make cities a better and safer place assuming the those police are redirected to find and arrest criminals. (Good luck getting the black robbed pussies to do something with them)

I just noticed I got blocked by the "Rubin Report" on Twitter after they Twitted about the taxes in LA and the "defund the Police" movement. I Tweeted I had no sympathy for them, move and quit asking your supporters to help fund them by paying you. Guys like Rubin and Shapiro stay in these leftist shitholes because they like the weather, screw them.

When I've gone to Confession, I have never been listened to with anything but mercy for my remorse. And I know that when the priest says, "Deinde, ego te absolvo a peccatis tuis in nomine Patris, et Filii, + et Spiritus Sancti" I am totally cleansed of the stain of sin on my soul.
None of that applies in the Church of the Left. You're never absolved. You'll always be guilty. Because of circumstances over which you have no say (your ethnicity, the actions of others with your ethnicity) you are eternally damned. You may grovel but even living blamelessly afterwards is no defense.
No thank you. I will never bend my knee before that altar.

Good point. It was shorthand for the Woke Big Industries. Here in Kansas there is a lot of pressure from COC-e and the Farm Bureau to be on AG Dept. welfare.

Hi NaCly,
Not for goin' on a couple weeks.
Crappie spawn done.
Should probably be checking to see if the bluegill are on their beds but since the state ruined my favorite little bluegill lake by stocking wipers in it...
I really miss the music.
Still three weeks till next gig.
Hopefully we'll practice this week.
And now I'm outta here.
Love each other fellow babies

I've always been amazed that cops (or maybe courts) seemed to think "I was afraid for my life" to be an excuse for killing completely innocent civilians, like that guy that got shot a few years ago while trying to buy an air rifle at Walmart. (That one was helped along by a meddling, unhinged citizen who called it in, but still...). I'm sorry, but if an innocent person is dead, I don't really care how you felt about it beforehand.
Cops want to be honored. That's fine. How you earn that honor is to shoulder the risk of presumption of innocence - to risk not going home, so that citizens will. It's not for everyone, but that's how you actually earn the honor.
Mostly I blame the criminalization of everything though. Politicians always seem to forget that every enforcement action has the potential to escalate to the use of deadly force, or killing someone by accident with rough handling that is usually nonlethal (I'm thinking of Eric Gardner). If it's not worthwhile for people to die for your law, you shouldn't make the law, because that's what happens when actual enforcement happens, even if everyone involved has innocent motives.

Krak, 100% in agreement. I suspect a lot of Rs and Ds would agree with your post.
I spend part of my time in Thailand. Generally Thailand is not better than the USA. There are some problems here. But about this topic, police in Thailand are at 10% or 1% the level as in the USA, but somehow the society stays on a good track.
There is honor in this culture, people respect each other. And I think more importantly, you do not have any groups thinking they are entitled to act out because of years of listening to Al Sharpton/Jesse/AOC etc.

I'm starting to see articles from schools and the like about "remembering these deaths driven by racialism".
The weirdest part is that it's exactly opposite from data.
Like chique pointed out a couple of days ago, that is the white supremacist. Blacks can't even kill each other or other races competently. Only white people are good at it, and black lives only matter if a white person lends his expertise.

Xiao, yes there are bad laws, but civil society is constructed on common understanding and acceptance or like morals and values. The politicians have/are destroying our society by failing to enforce assimilation to a standard. Our society is unique (was?) in that our common standards are based on certain rights and importantly attributes and responsibilities flowing from a Creator.

Dollar Shave Club subscription cancelled. And they were nice enough to have an "Other" option and allow comments for "Why are you leaving us?"
I told them "I do not do business with companies who support the radical Marxist and Black supremacy group Black Lives Matter."
Hope they enjoyed that. CEO e-mail sent out at 3:47am EDT, my cancelled subscription less than 3 hours later.
I hope they go bankrupt.
I may have given them a pass if they just sent out the usual tripe e-mails about racism and violence and injustice everyone else is sending out. Maybe. But explicit support in word and money for Black Lives Matter? Easy choice to shitcan them.

I don't get the lockdown orders in IL. The ones in WI, MI and PA make sense. Because those are messages to the citizens of those states of "You better vote out OrangeManBad in November or we will continue to make your lives miserable".
But IL is guaranteed to vote Democrat. So makes no sense to have such a ridiculous lockdown, except other than to be on a power trip. Probably knows the IL voters' history with voting Democrat and realizes that he can do whatever he wants for as long as he wants and will face zero consequences from voters.

The Democracy Alliance was created in 2005 by a handful of major donors, including billionaire financier George Soros and Taco Bell heir Rob McKay to build a permanent infrastructure to advance liberal ideas and causes. Donors are required to donate at least $200,000 a year to recommended groups, and their combined donations to those groups now total more than $500 million.

A surgical hacking of voter rolls may be in order.
I'd laugh and laugh if IL turned Rep, which it could, if there were fair elections.

I need a cigarette after reading that rant.
Ahh. *blows smoke ring*
Looks like we're about to have that 'national conversation' so frequently bandied about, but never executed on this topic.
Incidentally, the militarization of the police began in earnest around 1981, when Congress passed the Military Cooperation with Law Enforcement Act, giving police access to military intelligence, infrastructure, and weaponry in the fight against drugs. Ronald Reagan declared The War On Drugs, drugs being a threat to national security.
In 1980, there were 3,000 SWAT raids in the US. By 2015, that number had increased to 80,000. No-knock raids also increased by leaps and bounds.
Looks like that is another War we lost.

My last shitty cop interaction was "driving while Colorado," eastbound I-70 metro Columbus area, mid-day, asshole goes headache lights on me after my black pickup passes a semi and I signal and lane change back.
I ask why and he says I hadn't allowed enough space, I say oh really, then he wants to get chatty, asking me shit like where I'm going, what's on board. I say tools and going to see Mom and let's finish up here, you want to show me the movie of me moving right too soon?
I know what's up. Colorado plates, pickup truck with cap, thousand miles east of a weed state. Guy's looking for a reason to go all search on me.
Asshole. Finally gives up and says be careful. Fuck him.

Yeah. Pretty much what Krak said.
For me,
Wrong haircut + wrong car = pulled over every time
But really,
Wrong car = pulled over every time
It's the power-trippers (the problem) I think.
Sad thing is, it's very close to same type you want to come in a crunch. So it's a tough nut to crack.
I'd like to think I could tell the good from the bad, but I'm just a guy who assumes I'm getting pulled over if I see a cop anywhere behind me. Call it ptsd whatever idc.

"Hope that is still going on."
So far it is.
The city of Charleston proper, on the peninsula is under curfew each night of this weekend for protests.
But even that is taking on a more peaceful trend.
And I think nationally, folk are understanding that the left has tried to make 'protest' and riot' into synonyms, which of course they are not.
And the more peaceful protests there are, the more it forces people to realize that 'protests' do not mean murdering folk, and destroying their businesses in response to an injustice, real or perceived.

The absolute worst law enforcement I've run across was NIS (now NCIS).
Completely ignorant of reality and how the Navy works.
I'd say MAA's (basically shore patrol as a fulltime job) are barely a notch above, but the one I dealt with, was....well, when he left and two other guys showed up to actually help, the conversation went:
"What is that guy's problem?"
*eyeroll* "That's PO1 'Doe'. He doesn't even know what his problem is."
Over 40 years later, I remember that guy's name. Helluva impression.

My experience with cops is pretty mixed. At my former employer, all the ones who came to serve warrants or pick up criminals or contraband were fine.
Off the job, another matter. In the 90s, no issue, but they are increasingly authoritarian and unpleasant to deal with on a personal level. I'm a 62yo ette, and when pulled over for their error, they asked to see my license, and when I reached for my handbag, he pulled his gun..I mean WTF. Where do most women keep it, on the dashboard?

Had a conversation with a squirelly guy yesterday. Furniture maker and he does beautiful work. But keep in mind squirelly. His employer enticed him to move here from another state. He said he had to since that state was so violent and he lived close to the KKK. Lynching tree behind his house, didn't ask current or historically used for that purpose. Asked him where and I named where I thought he moved from since I'm native to that state. He wouldn't answer.
It's pretty common knowledge that the KKK has fallen on hard times, approx. 3000 nationwide and the chapters come and go quickly. And lynchings are a thing of the past although some deaths without a rope involved are probably counted as a lynching, say being dragged behind a truck.
My point, there's a whole lot of disinformation spread and believed in this country. It's lies but believed and those beliefs lead to beating and death for those that do not believe. Obligatory rant inserted: and the msm promotes this crap nonstop.

A hybrid striped bass, also known as a wiper or whiterock bass, is a hybrid between the striped bass (Morone saxatilis) and the white bass (M. chrysops). It can be distinguished from the striped bass by broken rather than solid horizontal stripes on the body.

"although some deaths without a rope involved are probably counted as a lynching, say being dragged behind a truck. "
Lynching is an extrajudicial murder/execution of an individual, not limited to death by hanging.
So like when a retired black Police Officer is gunned down by rioters in front of his own business for the crime of stopping protesters from destroying his business.....
Yep....that's a lynching.

So like when a retired black Police Officer is gunned down by rioters in front of his own business for the crime of stopping protesters from destroying his business.....
Yep....that's a lynching.

Good question, who is the head of BLM? And all these corporations that are scrambling to give them donations, isn't this virtue signaling?

This should probably be sent in reply to every business e-mail to its customers pledging their support for Black Lives Matter. Need to show them exactly what they are supporting and we are ending our business with their companies over that support.
Founded by Marxist revolutionaries in 2013, Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a movement that depicts the United States as a nation awash in racism, sexism, and homophobia. Demonstrators at BLM events have been known to:
--- smear white police as trigger-happy bigots who are intent upon killing innocent, unarmed black males;
--- taunt, and direct obscenities at, uniformed police officers who are on duty;
--- throw rocks at police and threaten to kill them;
--- and celebrate in the streets when a police officer is killed.
Some examples of BLM's racist and incendiary rhetoric:
--- At a December 2014 BLM rally in New York City, marchers chanted in unison: "What do we want?
Dead cops. When do we want it? Now."
--- At a BLM march in August 2015, protesters chanted: "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon." ("Pigs" was a reference to police officers, and "blanket" was a reference to body bags.)
--- On a BLM-affiliated radio program the following month, the hosts laughed at the recent assassination of a white Texas deputy; boasted that blacks were like lions who could prevail in a "race war" against whites; happily predicted that "we will witness more executions and killing of white people and cops than we ever have before"; and declared that "It's open season on killing white people and crackas."
--- In November 2015, a group of approximately 150 BLM protesters shouting "Black Lives Matter," stormed Dartmouth University's library, screaming, "Fu** you, you filthy white fu**s!," "Fu** you and your comfort!," and "Fu** you, you racist sh**!"
--- In July 2016, a BLM activist speaking to a CNN reporter shouted: "The less white babies on this planet, the less of you [white adults] we got! I hope they kill all the white babies! Kill 'em all right now! Kill 'em! Kill your grandkids! Kill yourself! Coffin, bitch! Go lay in a coffin! Kill yourself!"
--- At all BLM events, demonstrators invoke the words that the Marxist revolutionary, former Black Panther, convicted cop-killer, and longtime fugitive Assata Shakur once wrote in a letter titled "To My People": "It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains." (The fourth line was drawn from the Communist Manifesto of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.) In Shakur's original letter, she described herself as a "Black revolutionary" who had "declared war on the rich who prosper on our poverty, the politicians who lie to us with smiling faces, and all the mindless, heart-less robots [police] who protect them and their property."

For a new blade source, Darco.com is not political.

Great choices, great prices. Low price 6 blade , really low price 3 blade, and the handle fits any of their blades. And the blades last.
They're a Korean company.

I've lived in good neighborhoods and bad neighborhoods. About 10 years ago I lived in a bad neighborhood. It wasn't like the ghetto, but there was a lot of drugs and lawlessness, a neighbor of mine had a bullet put through his son's window because a g********* thought it was a rival drug dealer's house. My neighbors and I constantly call the police about the real drug dealer in the neighborhood, and they did nothing about it. Eventually we stopped trying, and I grew used to watching drug dealers sell out of their car while I was walking my dog.
like I said, I don't want to oversell how bad of a neighborhood it was, but it wasn't great. The point I wanted to make is every experience I had with a cop in that neighborhood was bad. At one time, there was an accident in an intersection. I followed a string of cars along into a drugstore parking lot to get around it. A cop turned on his lights and pulled me over and told me I couldn't cut through private property to avoid a red light. I asked him what I should do instead, and he just repeated his statement. I should also mention he said so in an extremely aggressive and hostile manner. There are other experiences I had as well, most of which had to do with a cop looking like he was going to pull a gun on me at any time. I should mention that I'm a middle-aged white dude who is about his harmless as you can imagine. What the cop was threatened by I have no idea, but he certainly seemed threatened.
So about seven or eight years ago I moved to a different neighborhood. This one is what you would describe as an upper middle class. if anyone is familiar with Philadelphia, it's on the main line. At any rate, my first experience was a cop there is when I nervously asked one the directions to a park I was trying to find. Cop couldn't have been nicer or more helpful, even offered to drive to the place so I could find it. All my experiences with the police in this neighborhood have been positive, every single one.
So when I read about how black men and women think that the cops are out to get them, I reflect upon this. How much worse would my experience have been if I lived in an even poorer neighborhood? How much better if I lived in even more affluent one? It seems clear to me based on my limited experience that police officers are nice to you if you're rich and hostile towards you if you're poor, at least if you live in a rich neighborhood or a poor neighborhood.
I'm sure there are reasons for this. I have known a number of cops in my day, and all it takes is a few stories of a buddy or colleague of theirs getting ambushed during a routine traffic stop for them to get extremely suspicious and paranoid while going about their everyday jobs. And that sort of thing is far more likely to happen where people have guns and drugs and arrest warrants then upper management jobs.
My point, I don't consider this a race problem. I think that the best solution to the so-called race problem is improving neighborhoods and installing upper middle-class values into those who live in them. Whole families, education, investing in the next generation at the expense of your own, these are all ideas which have been proven to work in America over and over and over again. If you can improve neighborhoods, police work becomes easier and tensions between police and communities lesson.

oh went back and got it back:
mornin yall. My business was located right next door to a county Sheriff's precinct office for about 5 years. Oh the stories I could tell of people coming and going there. Sometimes people would come in asking if the office was open because no one was there and then would tell me their stories of woe involving the Sheriff's department. One thing that really pissed people off is they could not file a report there, they had to go downtown, so you would see people walking and driving away with a pissed off look on their face all the time. I always wondered how many just said fuckit and never went downtown.
The officers I encountered there were typically overweight, buzz cut, and dumb as a rock. I went over there one Monday and asked the main guy there how many people were arrested on Sunday in the illegal "parade' of 100s of local denizens on motorcycles, dirt bikes, atvs , and cars that went right by the front door and thru the neighborhoods and he told me he knew nothing about it, but would look into it and get back to me. That never happened, just like when my MIL's house was ransacked when she was in the hospital, and when all the wiring was stripped from the new house she was building. I've never had any satisfaction in any dealings with the cops.
Local criminals are pampered though, and are usually back on the streets in no time, only to commit more crimes. It's pretty hopeless.
I was stopped by a big fat county cop for passing a car in a passing zone and ticketed. I was so pissed I went to court and when I got up to the judge, the judge said "I don't remember a passing zone there" and looked at the cop and smiled. I had to pay the fine, and on the way home went the same route and again observed the broken line in the middle of the road where I was previously stopped. I vowed then that if I ever saw one of those guys in trouble I would just keep on going. BTW that judge is now gone because of a corruption charge, but as far as I know he suffered no other consequences. Typical.

Yeah, the "poverty level" more or less defined to be the poorest x%, so (barring the imaginary full communism) there are always going to be people "in poverty" no matter how rich everyone gets.
The typical "poor person" in the United States has a home, plenty to eat, a car, internet service, and many other things that would put a person in the "well-off" category in other countries
Oh, and in case anyone cares: Joey Plugs has clinched the Communist Party nomination.

Great post, krakatoa. I too have had some unsatisfying experiences with local cops -- not nearly as many, or as serious, as yours, though.
And I can understand why some might take a little glee in watching black rioters and white man-babies (cosplaying as anarchists) tear up the same urban shit-hole that spawned them.
Alas, I cannot share in this schadenfreude, for one simple reason:
Think of the bars, man. THINK OF THE BARS.
There are Tiki bars I've never been to, being torn up right now. I've never been to Porco's Lounge in Cleveland, even though it's only 3 hours away. Why did I put this off?
And then there are all the great Tiki bars I have been to, that I'm worried about -- Lost Lake in Chicago, Latitude 29 in NOLA.
Shit -- I don't know if I can ever wear a Tiki shirt in a big city again, without being called "Proud Boy" and having to fight someone. And it's not like I carry concealed when I'm bar-hopping.
This shit is serious, krakatoa.

I've never had a really bad experience with a street cop. I've met some asshole cops, just like other assholes in business or industry. I think for the most part they're just like everyone else with the exception that their job brings them into contact with the scum of the population and that has a tendency over time to wear on them. I notice too that the worst cop behavior seems to be in big cities and states where bad behavior by the citizenry and the cops is tolerated or even encouraged at the local and state gummint level.
I'll go out on a limb and say that when police forces dissolve, thugs are going to learn that cops were there to protect them against citizens, not citizens from thugs. And in those areas, it's gonna look like Mogadishu or Baghdad in relatively short order.

I've had very good experiences with cops and pretty bad ones. County Sheriffs tend to be the most professional. State Troopers the least but in both cases there are exceptions.
Local police vary wildly but if you are a local you tend to get the benefit of the doubt.
I will make one note. My experience with law enforcement while overseas is much worse then anything that happened in the States.

From the Black Lives Matter website:
Herstory In 2013, three radical Black organizers, Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi, created a Black-centered political will and movement building project called BlackLivesMatter. It was in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin murderer, George Zimmerman.

First was when I was 18 and got pulled over. Had a 6-pack of Heineken in the back that I was taking to a graduation party later that night. Having unopened alcohol in your car is not illegal. Otherwise, how could you ever get it home from the store. Cop pulled me over for driving through a yellow light, hauled my passenger and I out, frisked us, found a tiny bag, maybe a gram of weed on my buddy.
Cop confiscated the beer and the weed, and let us go with a "Good beer and good weed...going to be a fun time at my place tonight."
Worst was when I was arrested and jailed overnight in a case of mistaken identity while visiting my sister at college in Michigan. They refused to even tell me what I was being charged with, which is certainly illegal. Cost me a grand in attorney's fees to get the whole thing dropped. My lawyer said they knew within an hour after arresting me they had the wrong guy but the Blue Wall closed in and I had to fight and pay to get the whole thing dropped.

Anytime someone does a job I would never dream of doing
I cut them a little slack
even if it consists of some minor inconvenience to myself
I don't immerse myself in petty disputes that are quickly forgotten
because I don't want them to stop doing that job
because then I would have to do that job or some part of that job
but that's just me, go ahead if it floats your boat

179 Lynching is an extrajudicial murder/execution of an individual, not limited to death by hanging.
So like when a retired black Police Officer is gunned down by rioters in front of his own business for the crime of stopping protesters from destroying his business.....
Yep....that's a lynching.

Again, this talk about getting rid of/defunding police does not mean what we take it to mean.
It means replacing them with 'Community Patrols' or whatever euphemism they come up with, a force of 'social justice' cops that will police the jurisdiction in line with the philosophies of the Hard Left.
Don't fall for the 'there will be no police' idea. They aren't that stupid, and they'd never let a chance for that power get away from them.

Action matters and conversation matters, but financial support matters too. Alongside each of our Unilever sister brands, DSC will contribute $100,000 to Black Lives Matter.
So Unilever BOD has ordered all of the subsidiaries to pour money into a racist terror organization that has a track record of looting, arson and cop killing - for political change, of course.
Fighting racism by being even more racist.
I have one question for Unilever:
Black Lives Matter claims to use the money for "fighting racism". What sort of audit process do you have internally that follows through and validates that certain metrics and objectives are maintained by BLM?
IOW, handing money over to an organization that hasn't presented a business plan other than subsidizing riots, cop killings, propaganda campaigns, political corruption and lavish lifestyles of ne're do well Anti-American Communists. If any other group came up with a similar plan for your charity (such as Hamas, ISIS or the PLA), would you also blindly give it to them and then spend marketing dollars proclaiming your affiliation with their targets and objectives?
Or is this decision made purely on race?

In 2019 police officers fatally shot 1,004 people, most of whom were armed or otherwise dangerous. African-Americans were about a quarter of those killed by cops last year (235), a ratio that has remained stable since 2015. That share of black victims is less than what the black crime rate would predict, since police shootings are a function of how often officers encounter armed and violent suspects.
In 2018, the latest year for which such data have been published, African-Americans made up 53% of known homicide offenders in the U.S. and commit about 60% of robberies, though they are 13% of the population.

My point, I don't consider this a race problem. I think that the best solution to the so-called race problem is improving neighborhoods and installing upper middle-class values into those who live in them. Whole families, education, investing in the next generation at the expense of your own, these are all ideas which have been proven to work in America over and over and over again. If you can improve neighborhoods, police work becomes easier and tensions between police and communities lesson.

That is one of my biggest frustrations in all of this. Lack of discussion of the root problems: education, community, family, morals and values, etc.
Which the legislated answer will be to fund more discussion groups that talk and talk and talk - usually at five star resorts around the globe, and their recommendations are always the same.
Give us more money and power.
I'll pass on these "discussions".

My point, I don't consider this a race problem. I think that the best solution to the so-called race problem is improving neighborhoods and installing upper middle-class values into those who live in them. Whole families, education, investing in the next generation at the expense of your own, these are all ideas which have been proven to work in America over and over and over again.

About 1% of the population are anti-social, with some combination of lack of empathy, brazen dishonesty, thrill seeking, superficial charm, extreme narcissism and desire for control over others. Psychopaths s are drawn to policing because there are so many opportunities to feel power over other people. Screening for psychos needs to be a top priority from youth, to weed them out as much as possible. Regardless, that still leaves 98% that are decent people.

Cops in Arkansas are generally a lot more pleasant than in my home state of Ohio, and PA, where I lived for many tears. I've heard numerous people say "Aren't our state troopers nice" and the only contact I've had with them (fingerprinting changing PA CCW to AR CHCL) proved that. Small town cops seem to get a few hot heads. We had one here, new hire, older guy with previous experience. The department got rid of him. This jerk was running radar outside the city limits, and really liked showing authority. Retired railroad cop.

I have to say, despite all the various shitshows of late, last night raised my spirits higher than they've been in weeks if not months. We have no rioting here in Fort Collins, CO and the reopening is FINALLY looking like reopening. Old Town has sprung back to life, and sitting with some friends having an icy cold beer at a patio bar on a 95 degree evening felt SO good!
Seems weird to have all the tables spaced 6 feet apart, and you still have to go through the ridiculous theater of putting on a mask while you walk in, only to immediately take it off. Guy at the door said with a shiteatin' grin: "Whether you're sitting inside or outside, masks are recommended but not required." Exactly zero patrons were wearing them. But you have to walk in with one on. Because SCIENCE!
The city is definitely emptier with CSU closed, but it was so nice to see something approaching actual crowds. Almst nobody on the streets wearing masks. Maybe one in thirty. And social distancing? Get outta town! None of that going on. No live music spilling from the bars and clubs though, which needs to be addressed. Bring back concerts!
And it's so nice to see peoples faces again. I made up a rap on the spot after a few beers: "Let me see your faces - good gracious - you're beautiful the way that God made yas!"
People were cheering from other tables LOL. It was a fantastic evening. We're comin' back.

The Left is retreating to Deep Blue Enclaves. Recall the map of the 2016 Election showing results by county -- Hillary's Archipelago.
Trump was threatening to erode Leftist support among black men, and he still is, so they've gone all in on mobilizing their turnout. And younger white Hipsters. This won't help them in the suburbs, and will alienate Hispanics who will stay home.
It will help the Left to continue to dominate our major cities, many of which have had huge looming fiscal problems, now worsened by the Virus Shutdown.

Since I moved back to my hometown, all interactions with cops have been fine. We've been blessed with a series of good sheriffs since the 80s, and it makes a huge difference. Back when there were all those stories of dog-shooting, our sheriff held seminars at every local PD about how to deal with dogs, and then wrapped them up with: "You've officially been trained in this now. If you freak out and shoot Fido, you're out of a job." It worked. We didn't have that problem here. People are generally happy with our cops.

" Screening for psychos needs to be a top priority from youth, to weed them out as much as possible. Regardless, that still leaves 98% that are decent people."
Local B'More talk show host had a segment yesterday based on a copy of two of Baltimore Counties Police exams from two years age that she had received.
Now mind you, Baltimore County has successfully been sued for racial discrimination on hiring practiced based upon discrimination against blacks by using a biased exam process.
And exactly what was the exam focusing on?
Reading comprehension
Writing ability
Logic
Memory retention
Sort of the stuff that one might expect an Officer to be able to perform.
And in the most recent graduating class from the academy, 18 of 50 graduated failed to meet the minimum grade on the topic of Constitutional Rights.
Now granted, the last profession interaction that I had with an Officer was probably more than 20 years ago, so my experiences then are not really applicable to the Officers of today.
But it seems we have possibly dumbed down our hiring practices just a little bit too far, in order to ensure that everyone has fair access to a Police retirement.

I see the same thing happening in Springfield IL this week. There have been several Floyd protest marches but no rioting whatsoever and no destruction other than some scattered attempts at window breaking and graffiti tagging on Sunday night. The restaurants opened up for outdoor service last weekend and people are flocking to that. There was definitely some tension in the air Sunday and Monday due to rumors that Antifa or similar groups were headed our way from Champaign (which did have some serious looting on Sunday), but those did not pan out. Traffic on the streets is definitely up and more people are going back to work.

We get awfully awfully confused when the boycotting starts.
It is probably pretty important to have correct company information.
A month ago I was asking myself why would I ever buy anything from China again.
Well, here is the reason.

Again, this talk about getting rid of/defunding police does not mean what we take it to mean.
It means replacing them with 'Community Patrols' or whatever euphemism they come up with, a force of 'social justice' cops that will police the jurisdiction in line with the philosophies of the Hard Left.
Don't fall for the 'there will be no police' idea. They aren't that stupid, and they'd never let a chance for that power get away from them.

Here's the basic email I sent to several companies. This one went to Cole Haan. I received a response that one of their corporate people would be contacting me. I won't hold my breathe.
To the CEO of Cole Haan:
Like all of your email subscribers, I received the below news blast from Cole Haan and felt compelled to express my thoughts and reply to you as a result. I am deeply troubled by this on a number of levels you should know about. The entire country was appalled at what happened in Minneapolis. With near unison, we all feel that the police officer involved should face the consequences of his actions. On that point, we're unified. Where I am most troubled is by the fact that, by releasing this news blast, and committing part of your profits as stipulated below, you are reinforcing the unproven belief that this was a racially motivated incident. Nothing indicates this, yet you further stoke that extremely dangerous notion without proof. Moreover, the federal government's own statistics do not support a theory of racial animus in incidents involving police officers with whites versus blacks. It appears to me that fact means little to you. It's very offensive to me that you take this position, with apparently little thought to your customers or any other viewpoint. I'm able to look at statistics. I'm able to, so far, ascertain there's no proof this was a targeted assault against a person of color. If that were the case, I would be the first in line to say so. Why are you unwilling to step aside from flared tempers and emotions and think logically about that? Where is your "stand in solidarity" message for the thousands of small business owners and others who have had their establishments burned to the ground and looted? Instead, you chose to look the other way and bellow out the mindless racial aspect in this entire tragedy? You don't seem to care about those people who have been harmed by the insane rioting and looting that has engulfed city after city. You don't seem to care about the police officers who have already been stabbed and targeted in retaliation. My family member is part of our federal police force. Because companies like yours meddle in political affairs you really have no business in, your message helps put my family member in danger, fueling mindless outrage that has no justification. I have shopped at Cole Haan for many years. In truth, they are my favorite shoes and boots. I own multiple pairs and have given them as gifts. I know you won't miss one customer, and likely don't care what my viewpoint is. Regardless, my point isn't to hurt you financially. But you've made yourself heard. You've made your position clear. You've hitched your wagon to unsubstantiated and unjustified madness and therefore, I will shop elsewhere in the future. I truly wish you would've stuck with what you do best: sell footwear. Thanks for your time.

My old Italian granny always made "strawberry and rhubarb" pie, using wild strawberry and rhubarb. It always tasted a little "off" and a bit too bitter even for rhubarb. My mom once told me "well, the old Italians call it rhubarb but it isn't really. She grows it in her garden."
It took many years before I put that mystery together: The "rhubarb" was actually knotweed, a common weed in the east, native to Asia, that is indeed closely related to rhubarb. I always wished she would have left it our entirely and just made strawberry pie.

Roberts swing vote to uphold disparate treatment of churches in the CA Virus Shutdown was craven. I put it to Roberts foolish attempt to make SCOTUS look like it's above politics, the Constitution be damned.
Worse still now that the Virus Shutdown has been exposed as bureaucratic totalitarian overkill as the distancing rules get thrown out for mass protests, but enforced for masses.
Despite SCOTUS decorum, I picture frat boy justice Kavanaugh muttering *blowjob* a la Animal House whilst looking directly at Dean Wormer Roberts at SCOTUS weekly meetings.

Saw a article this morning from a Leftist
publication they list 9 black men killed by police in 2019( I think ) as
supposedly "unarmed" but on Larry Elder heard that is dubious as some
of those were in dangerous confrontations and questionable if unarmed.
Posted by: Skip at June 06, 2020 06:48 AM (6f16T)
TuCa covered this the other night. In 2019 10 unarmed blacks were killed by cops. As I recall, 6 or 7 of the cops were no-billed because the shootings were justified (bascially, the blacks were attacking them with the intent of doing bodily harm). The other cops were charged with murder.
On the other hand, 57 cops were killed in the line of duty last year. A nontrivial difference. However, that does not excuse the boorish behavior related by other posters here. I've had my share of experiences with shithead cops in my life. But my father was a cop for 30 years, on the street. And he said its like any other job, you get good ones and bad ones.Also, TuCa said that something like (if I get this wrong, blame an old man's flaky memory) 7000 blacks were shot and killed last year. And who the hell shot all those people? Other blacks for the most part. Funny how that never gets talked about....

Second, we are horrified and enraged by the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery as well as by the race-driven deaths of countless other black men & women in the United States.
________________
There isn't any evidence that any of those deaths were "race driven."
The cop who knelt on Floyd's neck had a history of excessive force complaints. He was just a heavy-handed cop, but there is no evidence he was any more of a jerk to blacks than to anybody else.
The Arbery guy was a thief and had been spotted going into houses in that area. The guys who were trying to protect the neighborhood saw him going into a house, called cops, and then followed him to keep an eye on him. Arbery saw them following him, and instead of moving away from them, he confronted them and grabbed the gun of one of them, and that's how he got shot. There is no evidence that it was racially-motivated.
Taylor was at home when plain-clothed narcotics cops entered her apartment and her boyfriend, thinking it was a home invasion, shot at the cops. The cops returned fire and killed Taylor. They were just shooting in the general direction of the boyfriend who was shooting at them. This was just shitty police practice. There is no evidence it was racially motivated.
This crap of claiming that every death of a black person is "racially motivated" so long as a white person is involved is bullshit. Blacks kill whites in far greater numbers than white kill blacks, yet we don't have anybody out protesting, or companies relentlessly virtue-signalling, about those deaths. Most of those deaths aren't racially-motivated either, and the ones that are never get any attention, because they don't fit the narrative.
Just really sick of the lying and posturing and holier-than-thou preening. Want to protest cops using excessive force or behaving stupidly? Great, there is plenty to criticize there. But don't make it about race when it isn't.

Private companies dedicating percentage of profits to the right "causes", cities redirecting money from metro LEO into the right "causes, Congress undoubtedly preparing enormous giveaway to the right "causes"...this entire thing has been a shakedown.

Now all we need is perspective. How many hundreds of millions of interactions with police do blacks have every day?
Not stops, but all interactions. Driving behind cars driven by black people, standing in line with black people in grocery stores, etc. Each one is its own instance.

In 2019 police officers fatally shot 1,004 people, most of whom were armed or otherwise dangerous. African-Americans were about a quarter of those killed by cops last year (235), a ratio that has remained stable since 2015. That share of black victims is less than what the black crime rate would predict, since police shootings are a function of how often officers encounter armed and violent suspects.
In 2018, the latest year for which such data have been published, African-Americans made up 53% of known homicide offenders in the U.S. and commit about 60% of robberies, though they are 13% of the population.

Facts and statistics are racist and white supremacy.
In all seriousness though, I think that is actually what too many people think who are a part of or support Black Lives Matter.
We can show them all the facts and stats we want, they will reject them out of hand.
You cannot reason someone out of something they did not first reason themselves into.
Black Lives Matter members and supporters are basically the Melvin Udall definition of a woman: think of a man and take away reason and accountability.
Or, they're like immature children. Don't get their way, they throw a temper tantrum. But instead of knocking things off the toy section of the store and laying on the ground throwing a hissy fit, they loot, riot, vandalize and commit arson.
They lack reason and are not being held accountable. America is now acting like the bad parent giving in to her child exhibiting bad behavior. Which only encourages that behavior to continue.

In 2018, the latest year for which such data have been published, African-Americans made up 53% of known homicide offenders in the U.S. and commit about 60% of robberies, though they are 13% of the population.

Facts and statistics are racist and white supremacy.
In all seriousness though, I think that is actually what too many people think who are a part of or support Black Lives Matter.
We can show them all the facts and stats we want, they will reject them out of hand.
You cannot reason someone out of something they did not first reason themselves into.
Black Lives Matter members and supporters are basically the Melvin Udall definition of a woman: think of a man and take away reason and accountability.
Or, they're like immature children. Don't get their way, they throw a temper tantrum. But instead of knocking things off the toy section of the store and laying on the ground throwing a hissy fit, they loot, riot, vandalize and commit arson.
They lack reason and are not being held accountable. America is now acting like the bad parent giving in to her child exhibiting bad behavior. Which only encourages that behavior to continue.

Now all we need is perspective. How many hundreds of millions of interactions with police do blacks have every day?
Not stops, but all interactions. Driving behind cars driven by black people, standing in line with black people in grocery stores, etc. Each one is its own instance.

It'll end up enriching certain "leaders" and maybe funding further

I'm supposed to go back to Iowa for a Small Claims Court case on July 9. Wednesday I received a notice that the judge had set the case for video hearing instead of in-person. I couldn't understand why he would do that, since COVID cases are declining.
This morning I found out why. On Monday a 22 year old woman was killed in Davenport, thirty-five miles away, as she was leaving a protest that turned violent. Hers was the second death in a week.
I'm thrilled that I won't have to make the drive but stunned at what's happening in farm country. Iowa? IOWA?!?

As long as we're sharing police stories, let me tell you how they interact with Big Banks to fuck the little guy...
A person in Massachusetts went onto my website and ordered a few thousand dollars of product, paid for it with a credit card and had me next day air the shipment.
Within a week, I get a notification from the credit card processor that the person who owns the card didn't authorize the charge, even though the shipment went to and was signed for by the owner of the card.
I produced the order, proof of shipping and receipt and all other details to the processor, but they don't give a shit and just deducted the amount from my bank.
When I called the police in the town where the shipment went, they basically said "fuck you, you're not a citizen here, so why would we care if one of our residents stole from you?" They said to call my local police.
I called the local police and they basically said "fuck you, we don't have any authority out of state, so there's no reason for us to waste any time on this".
Sure, I could hire a lawyer and sue, but that would cost far more than I lost.
Next time, I'm going to organize a protest and loot enough to cover my losses.

If there is one fortunate fall out from the last few years, conservatives who were suckers for the police, for the military and for intelligence agencies have discovered what evil motherfuckers infest all of these groups to varying degrees. The same week hearings exposed the FBI, DOJ and IC as little more than the mentally retarded versions of the KGB, military brass past and present acted in ways that would put a South American junta to shame.
It is time to rein in every goddamned one of these groups and castrate them. Of course, that would require a functional opposition party and ours sucks balls, too.

So while I do nor support the argument...if members of an identifiable group can state that they have a fear of Police Officers not only based upon their individual negative experiences in the past with them, but based upon familial experiences in the past, and even from news reports on non-related members of the group experiencing negative and hostile outcomes with the Police, and that this fear is both understandable and reasonable..
It would seem that a member of another ethnic group who might hold a distrust of the first identifiable group based on either personal experience, familial past experience, or even news coverage of violence against their group would be both reasonable and understandable.
Either everybody gets to be predjudiced for whatever the reason...
Or
Nobody does.

I quit all the big name razors years ago and went old fashioned safety. A nice chromed steel handle costs about the same as a new 23-bladed absurdity. A decent shaving brush the same. The sleeve of packet of 150 blades from some English manufacturer (a retail pack for convenient by-the-register blades, 5 at 20 cents) cost me less than a two months refill. The shave quality is better.
A few months later I got a travel brush, slides inot a nice little sleeve for packing.
I haven't bought anything other than a new shaving brush, an indulgence, for three years. My blades look to last 4-5 more years.
I have no idea how Big Shaving convinced us all to buy worse product that costs more to do a worse job.

And, of that 2%, many are already in jail, and, most importantly, there are black men who simply aren't criminals. So the number is even smaller than that.

I hope you realize that it isn't as easy as a snap of the fingers and off we are to Idaho or Texas with good jobs and surrounded by family and friends.
Sure, I would love to move out of the NYC metro area.
What do you suggest my wife and I do with our aging parents, who need our help, uproot them from their family and friend networks, from the places they have lived for most of their lives?
Or from jobs many of us have taken entire careers to create, that are not easily moved to Red America?
There's a smugness among some in comfortably conservative areas that at times can be every bit as infuriating as the contempt inherent in people who talk about the "flyover states.."
As one of our commenters often says about the Seattle area...."I grew up here...I'm not leaving."
That's a fine attitude to have. As much as many of us would prefer to live in one of the sane parts of the country, maybe we should fight for what we have and not give in to the mob.

That looks like what I got from Uber this morning, verbatim, though I stopped reading at "countless" and marked it as junk. Nothing signals serious, thoughtfully considered conviction like a cut-and-paste manifesto.

That's a good point. It would be interesting to find out if Black Lives Matter has sent companies a form letter for them to send out to their employees. With the explicit message that if the companies do not comply, they will be exposed through media and social media.
Which is why these e-mails and statements all end up having all the same keywords and messages and references to the same 3 people.

The Michigan Supreme Court rules unanimously in favor of Shiawassee County barber Karl Manke.
How can you allow groups of protesters and rioters, and not allow a man to cut hair. It would seem logical. but none of this is logical. Good for Mr. Manke.

I quit all the big name razors years ago and went old fashioned safety. A nice chromed steel handle costs about the same as a new 23-bladed absurdity. A decent shaving brush the same. The sleeve of packet of 150 blades from some English manufacturer (a retail pack for convenient by-the-register blades, 5 at 20 cents) cost me less than a two months refill. The shave quality is better.
A few months later I got a travel brush, slides inot a nice little sleeve for packing.
. . .
I have no idea how Big Shaving convinced us all to buy worse product that costs more to do a worse job.

Seconded and thirded. I started with the old-fashioned shaving method when I forgot my electric at home when I bugged out for a hurricane in 2012, and found some disposable razors from Target and a can of Barbasol gave me a much better shave. Now I have several vintage safety razors, modern non-Gillette blades, some soaps and creams, and I look forward to shaving!

I'm guessing that is a known and existing stat, because I can't imagine someone estimated the unknowns.
And if 340M is the known number, total police interactions that aren't part of actual police work (again, standing in line as thugs walk through store but not engaging with them) must be in the billions every year.
But three people got shot.

Bailed out of Houston last July. My neighbor sold my house on Zillow, closed on Jan 31, 2020. Got my full asking price and stuck the money in the bank. The next Monday I had rotator cuff surgery and they closed off elective surgery 5 weeks later.

I have always had to behave on bended knee to police. When you do not, a certain portion of them use their power to make your life miserable. Perhaps this is hard for certain of my brothers. Perhaps it is the uninvolved arbitrators that need to get a new attitude across the board. Perhaps, being white, I do not attract the attention as much as others.

I am blessed in that I've worked from home for years and can live anywhere in the US, but most people do not have that opportunity. Once I got this job, I was able to leave NY but work realities alone mean many people cannot do what I was able to do. It just burns me when I hear "Just get out" because I know how unrealistic that was before I lucked out and got a rare chance.

The primary problem police face is perspective distortion. Because police deal up close and personally with criminals on a regular basis they are blinded by that up close and personal contact with crime. Police tend to see the general populace as composed of perps, and victims - because that is what they deal with. They simply fail to see that the vast majority of people are neither of those two, because those kind of people are invisible to them - being outside of their normal experience.
Thus when you do deal with a police officer - he assigns you to one of the two categories his experience tells him you belong in: if you are not a victim of a crime - you must be a criminal - and he treats you accordingly. You, of course - not being a criminal - are outraged at being treated like one. Of course your outrage, at this injustice, adds to the police officers confirmation bias that you are a criminal, and you get the RESPECT MAH ATHORITAH response from the officer who is now convinced he has a disrespectful scum bag on his hands.
On the other hand, actual crime victims are a pain in the ass for the police, because they can't do anything about your victim status. So they naturally don't want to deal with you. In addition they are going to be looking at the actual victims suspiciously. Because victims are involved in a crime - they think subconsciously that the victim is part of the problem.
Other than making officers aware of how distorted their view of the world is, the only suggestion I have for the police is to develop friends and social contacts in the real world out side of their jobs.

Yeah as a white man I could list the good and bad experiences with law enforcement. Some of which I deserved, some of which was officers just showing their ass and/or being unprofessional.
That being said our boys in blue are doing a stand up job.
Which brings us to the Floyd murder. I cannot for the life of me watch that video and come to some other conclusion and to add to that it became clear, IMHO when a day or so later black owners were armed and protecting their store as well as running off looters. A s happened they waved down cops who instantly came to the store and started to arrest the owners....Just BAM... Black....Arrest and they weren't not even listening to the witnesses around them.
It was then and there where I for once could understand what the BLM people were saying. As a white guy who had his own experiences to go on that were both my fault at times and not at others. I these officers just roll in and make BS detainments/arrests for no other reason other than skin color that I could see.
Sorry for the long post here but I want to end it by saying that I loath the BLM movement. It's absolutely divisive, completely hypocritical and a cover, meaning to be or not, for antifa scum bags.
The last thing is that, IMHO, we bring so much of this nonsense on ourselves by refusing to frog march politicians breaking the law with impunity. It all starts there if we want to end this merry go round. Simply arrest and indict politicians who break the law and watch all of the other stuff down the line get the message.

Same as uniform sentencing incarcerating record numbers of black males because someone thought a white dude was getting off easy and that meant injustice, these same people in the 80s didn't think for one minute what their demands for law enforcement to "fix" their communities would entail.
And here they are insisting cops assume all blacks are on overdose levels of meth and fentanyl, or that they don't police their neighborhoods at all.

As much as I detest Don Henley and all things Eagles, prophetic and relevant:
There is no more new frontier,
We have got to make it here.
Stop importing ignorance, violence and division. We've got enough already. Launching men into space while watching our cities burn. This shitstorm of ignorance, groveling and reinforcement of failure is disgusting.

And remember that the 13% is half women - who don't
generally commit violent crime - so we're down to 6%. And the 6%
includes infants and octogenarians so we're really talking about roughly
2% of the population who commit over half the violent crime in America.
But I'm racist for pointing that out because Math or something.

You pretty well nailed it. I watch all the cops shows and have for some time now (COPS, Live PD and the like, all of which have been taken off the air now), I guess as a sort of homage to my father, who was a street cop for 30 years.And these are all shows where the camera guys just follow the cops around on whatever calls they get. It's not "staged", its just typical police work. And yes, the sad fact is most of the malefactors the cops deal with, a simple majority, are black. And its almost always drugs, guns (stolen), robbery, assault, gang shootings and the like. Latinos come in second, with the hardened white criminals coming in a strong third.
And oh yes, I've noticed cops are real quick to draw their guns nowadays (30 years on the street and you could count on the fingers of one hand the number of times my father ever had to draw his gun; things have changed, and for the worse). But I've also seen the videos, body and dash cameras, where largely black or Hispanics, pulled over for some minor traffic infraction, have jumped out and started banging away at the cops with their usually stolen guns. And as mentioned before, 57 cops were killed last year in the line of duty, so I can understand them being a bit froggy.Something else is that I've seen that knee trick countless times on these shows, but never on the suspect's neck. It was always on their back, to restrain them because they were fighting. And I guarantee you that is what happened with St George Floyd. They tried to put him in the patrol car and he started fighting, which is how he ended up on the ground. You could see in the first video that Floyd was mouthing off nonstop after he'd been pulled from his car and cuffed.
So he starts fighting, the cops put him on the ground, but then that one cop screws up and puts his knee on Floyd's neck instead of his back, which would not have harmed him, and then they could have gotten him immobilized and put him in the patrol car, matter closed. Don't know what that idiot cop was thinking, but he is now getting what he deserves, a murder charge.
But that is not enough for the Antifa/BLM jerkoffs. They want whitey's blood for for one cop's stupid decision (and the other cops for not stopping the first one). A pity the authorities and their cops are letting these thugs get away with all this looting and burning. One in no way justifies the other.

Maybe some blacks are finally waking up to what they get for voting Democrat.
Trump WILL 'go there.' He WILL point it out. He WILL gore the sacred cow.
Far from this being the way to get the black vote back on the plantation, Trump will stand right up and say that he was right in 2016 when he pointed out what failures Democrats have been for black America and everything that has gone on since proves HE is the better choice.

most of CPD has done their job well, unfortunately, we have seen some

She doesn't want any force and from what I'm hearing they are releasing the rioters as fast as they catch them. So what's the point? It won't stop until it is stopped and Jabba and Dykefoot refuse to put an end to it

I am sorry that the world is shifting and that the left has brought so much misery to so many. As soon as kid gets job in red state we're gone from NJ.
That being said, I really don't understand the need for conservative people to migrate into the cities, it's a prescription for indoctrination. A friend's kid was an officer in college republicans, was very conservative, from a conservative family...took a job in NYC and now calls us all fascists. He was my no.1 holiday disinvite, btw. He's a CPA who could have moved elsewhere, took a big slash in lifestyle to rent a little apt in Manhattan. I will never understand.

This is unavoidable.
Unless we stop limiting our recruiting for new officers to the human gene pool.
How we as a society, and as Law Enforcement organizations deal with them is the key.
But in a world where I must chose between Law Enforcement or No Law enforcement......I stand with those who chose to serve honorably.
And thank them for it.

When I was young, all the men on my Mom's side were police officers or sheriff's deputies. That was long ago and all my relatives who were cops--and the family friends who were cops and attended my relatives funerals--are dead.
I haven't had the bad experiences of many; but I haven't been close to any police officers, either.
One local Sergeant had a train store (as in toy trains, HO Scale, wtc.). As we were, I thought, kidding ea h other, he "joked" about making sure I was treated like a King... Rodney King... if I were ever pulled over... this was in 1992...
What has happened to so many people incarcerated for "lying to the police" when they made a memory slip, disagreed with another witness who lied, or were railroaded like General Flynn (who I don't remember actually liking), has ld me to believe I should never speak to the police.

To destroy America and western civilization (i.e. Marxism)???
From the beginning, #BLMs goals have been broad and vague. I assume that's by design so that whatever is done is never enough.
The new talking point of "400 years of abuse" has become so popular (thanks, NYT 1819 Project!) kinda gives the game away, too. America was "founded on slavery and genocide" and they are marching to end "400 years" of mistreatment. That's not going to be settle with a check or a change in police policy.

Like others, I think envy is a driving force behind a lot of leftist crap. Anyone born in America won the historical lottery. But instead of recognizing and being grateful for their blessings, they're too busy being pissed off that someone else was, from their perspective, even more blessed. I see this attitude a lot in the disabled community. This has got to be the best time and place in all of human history to be disabled. And yet, constant whining.
There's a bit in a book by Marie Corelli: (the he who shows compassion is Satan, incidentally)
There was a vibration of compassionate kindness in his voice which at once moved me to an acute sense of self-pity, the worst enervator of moral force that exists. I sighed heavily.
"Truly I have suffered" - I said - "More than most men!"

That's right - Portland Maine only has imported Somalians, Ethiopians and Sudanese living here. Last summer they flooded our town full of them - a ~50k population got over 1100 "asylum seekers". Lucky them.
This place is beyond woke with progressive children who think they know everything about the world.
My wife usually goes into the city to go grocery shopping on Saturday mornings. Not today - she's headed to Scarborough instead (if you watched PDT's excellent speech yesterday from Maine, you saw a box behind his right shoulder that was destined for the testing facility in Scarborough!).
So beyond the effect of these cities torching themselves - they're keeping those of us in the 'burbs from contributing to their economy.

CNN - Miscalculation error makes the jobless rate look better than it is.
Another CNN feint.
The *REAL* shocker in yesterday's numbers was in REAL job growth Vs. the projections.
If the Doomsellers hadn't gone so overboard, the numbers still would have been good but not so AMAZINGLY good.
CNN is just trying to focus on tiny details to obscure the big picture.

Three protesters are in jail Thursday after being arrested for trying to set police cars on fire with Molotov cocktails.
They were denied bond in court Friday.
Police say the vandals tracked those officers down at their homes and tried to torch their cars. Both fires were put out quickly, leaving minor damage to the vehicles.

Interesting that in all the reports I saw about the Buffalo police they failed to include that two officers had been plowed down by a car Monday night and critically injured. Can understand being pissed at the selective outrage over a (professional) protester's injury but not their fellow police officers' injuries from an earlier attack.

Confronting rioters may not be the best policy. Stalking and hunting may be more discreet, and discretion is required when the cops and prosecutors are on their side. Also, only go after the leaders.

And yes, other local officers have already had their units vandalized at their homes in the area.

I believe Federal Bureau of Prisons also has pretty hardcore riot police on duty in DC.
The left wants to be able to wave a bloody shirt. Ideally, they want footage of photogenic dead kids on the WH lawn. I think Esper's decision was the right one. Having Trump out of town also makes sense to me.
I can also second the recommendation for Dorco -- been using them for years. They used to be the OEM for a lot of the "independent" razor companies. Not sure if they still are.

The AMAZINGLY stupid part of this rioting and attempted Insurrection is that the Democrats had a model of how to solve this, and they could point to a Democrat Governor for the answer.
Minneapolis and Saint Paul were a complete total shitshow Wednesday Thursday and Friday. Finally Saturday morning Walz called up the entire Minnesota National Guard, all 13,000. By Sunday morning, they had their answer,
IT WORKED!!!!
After Sunday night, they had confirmed it. No dead protesters, no broken heads, no looting, almost no arson.
The protests went on, but they were PEACEFUL.
Cuomo, Newsom, Jabba, Evers, Northam all could have said I am going to call up our National Guard to stabilize our cities. They could have stopped billions of dollars in looting and arson. Like Minnesota, it would have STOPPED the violence.
Also, they would have had a great replacement for senile old Joe Biden. "Governor Tim Walz, the Democrat that stopped the violence tearing our cities apart." Democrat, teacher, veteran, from southern Minnesota Farm Country. Reminds everyone of the old Democrats like Hubert Humphrey, Walter Mondale, and George McGovern, but just as radical as Nancy and Barack.
Thank God the Democrats are fools.

(Reuters) - The U.S. unemployment rate dropped unexpectedly in May, but
not all workers benefited equally as joblessness among African Americans
and Asians rose, signaling some minorities face a longer recovery as
the economy slowly rebounds from the coronavirus shutdowns.
Not racism-- LOCATION.
Big cities and leftist enclaves remain shut down.

Sure moving is traumatic. So is getting your house burned down or getting beat up or murdered by a pack of wild Democrats. This is our reality now. We have to make decisions based on reality.
I'm staying because my job isn't easily transferrable. I have to work in all 5 NYC boroughs so the risk of personal harm is a known possibility. I'll pick up and leave as soon as I believe the risks outweigh the benefits. In the meantime I don't expect sympathy from anyone if I wind up having to deal with negative consequences from my own personal decision to stay in this lawless shithole.

They have waaaay to much power over their fellow citizens to be trusted unsupervised when supervision is so easy.
And half the problem is an insane lack of professionalism from folks who brag about being professional 24/7. Until they come across an example of their bad behavior, then it's "stressful job dealing with criminals, give us a break."

They're all just in it so they can be double dipping union thugs. Someone getting justice for a crime committed against them may accidentally happen, but it's not the purpose. The purpose is to bleed the taxpayer dry in one city, get your pension, then move to a small town and try to get a 3/4 pension.
I grew up in a small town in upstate NY and none of the cops were actually from my small town. They'd all come in in their layer years to get that sweet pension.
They don't really care one way or another. They just wanna slide on by and and get that nice fat retirement while real people work and don't get rich and fat off the backs of the taxpayer.
It's not that they're a roving band of highly committed white supremacists with a laser-focused mission. They're just lazy and can't be bothered and really don't wanna get stabbed by a crackhead.

I appreciate the sentiment of the post but we are all Americans and none should be abandoned to the whims of the left wing ideologues. Yes, some conservatives have chosen to stay in the heart of left wing country. Many of them just keep quiet and stay out of the way -thereby ceding authority to the left wing mob. But they are still Americans and have the same rights as anyone in my predominantly conservative area. Of course, they need to start fighting back to reclaim their cities from this lunacy too but that is another topic of discussion. Why is there often not a single person running against these democrats in the general election? Is there no one in that entire area even willing to espouse a conservative view knowing that it will be a loss now but maybe help move the needle in the other direction later. (It may also force the local media to report on some of the scandals that happen there on a regular basis). I feel very strongly that the poor, especially the working poor, in high crime, predominantly liberal areas are entitled to our protection even if they are not freedom loving conservatives. The same is true of the conservatives lurking among them.

Sorry, I can't enjoy any sense of delight at blue on blue catfights. We are in a fucking WAR and THEY ARE WINNING. We had a great jobs outlook, but now the riots have added campaign to their battle plans: ELIMINATE police forces, which will allow the riots to continue unabated. And make no mistake, once the forest is burned, they look to the meadows of suburbia.
If you are in a blue state in the suburbs, YOU ARE NEXT. The governors are all working on making sure that your city and county police and sheriff departments are neutralized, at least against rioters, though they WILL encourage citing and jailing people NOT rioting who engage in social non-BLM gatherings. And then just before the election, get ready for another round of riots.

Great post, Krak. Right there with ya. 9 out of 10 interactions with cops have been bad for me. I was robbed 3 times, cops sprung into action by writing a report. Laughed at the idea of taking fingerprints or investigating. Hahahah, there is too much crime, they say, we don't have resources, etc etc. But I'm looking at my tax bill and fuck! WHAT are YOU spending all these tax dollars on? OH, I see, fancy toys and armoured vehicles brought back from Iraq. Problem is society forces different races and ethnicities and fucking IDEOLOGIES (some of which call for the deaths of others) to live together, feral people with no desire to work but plenty of desire to destroy. So yeah. I fucking sold everything, packed up and moved out!
Nobody is saying go 1000 miles off to some imagined wonderland. But a 20 or 30 minute drive out of urban center and you can find very nice and safe communities. The cities (and the mayors and cops who "run" them) are just machines for white misery and genocide.

90 percent of my interactions with cops are of the, " sugar, your tail light's out" variety. But when i first started driving twenty odd years back, i met a bad one. i didnt notice him signal to get over. For this I was pulled over, dragged from my car, bruised and cursed at, and hauled downtown. I hyperventilated and vomited in his car, which seemed ti cool his ire. At least he stopped calling me a dumb c word and and started asking, you really didnt see me?" My purse was left in an open car on the side of the highway in the middle of the night. Downtown, he handed me off and went away grumbling to clean his car. desk guy looked at the papers and called my mom, who had to pay a fine fir a bent wheel rim equipment mwlfunction that my car never had, in order to take me back to my car and purse. Which, thankfully, were unmolested in the parking lot of a closed Wendy's. Years later ai went to wirk for Louisville metro 911, and discovered there are no records of the entire encounter. Nothing. They disappeared it, likely to hide a false arrest. wonder who pocketed mom's money. I was young, blonde, white, and female. i had broken no laws. Didn' protect me from a crazy cop with an anger management problem.

You need to take some time off, dude. Your rant isn't helpful at all.

It means replacing them with 'Community Patrols' or whatever euphemism they come up with, a force of 'social justice' cops that will police the jurisdiction in line with the philosophies of the Hard Left.
Wonder what's taking that 'fundamental transformation' so long...

Yeah, I always have a few flashbacks when Trump salutes the "brave blue."
In San Diego in the early '70s, I got stopped everyday on the street for three years for having modestly long hair.
I was working for the post office at the time and had to really play that up early because I had friends they "found weed" on when they absolutely hadn't been carrying weed.

IMAO, Yes, you should ABSOLUTELY seriously consider uprooting everyone. I stayed for EXACTLY same reasons and in hindsight everyone would have been better off if we had relocated to south Carolina, because the specific issues were never corrected and the downward arc of the community accelerated. I thank God my kin had the resolve and left BEFORE

What's not to love? White people being beaten to the death for the color of the skin. What could be more conservative?
