    This should immediately disqualify you from holding any law enforcement position.

    This is only the beginning of what is going to be little pockets of civil war through the USA this fall.

    Start getting basic supplies now as we navigate what will be a very violent time coming sooner than later.

    Keep your political opinions to your self when waiting in line, lest you get followed home by some GOP weirdo and get your car vandalized…

      I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:

      Trump is the greatest argument for the 2nd amendment.

      (Though seriously… gun control folks. It saves lives.)

        I read it and watched the video.

        The video was of sarcastic tone, but he was totally serious about his support for Trump.

        He makes it seem like California is just this lawless place of criminals running around everywhere, because of what he claims of slashed police force budgets and closed prisons.

        When he had a deputy get caught with a bunch of fentanyl supplied by the cartel, and his police force had an increased budget of 270 million since 2019.

        He’s totally one of those “rules for thee, not for me” kind of people.

        Riverside sucks anyway.

    Look, I’m all for equal representation and equal opportunity for everyone. The US had a black president already, which is awesome, but I’m not thinking the next step here is to “recently convicted felon”. Maybe try for a woman as president first?

    Just saying.

            Is there more to the argument because it looks like you’re kinda jumping from “she became secretary of state” to “she would’ve been 3 term”. She was qualified to be president despite Bill.

          I’m expecting a response in relation as to why i chose a cult.

          This reminds me of one of those furries who always has to interject in any role playing situation that they’re furries and their character is a furry despite nobody in the gaming session actually asking or encouraging that person.

        Women, Asian and Pacific islander people are all normal. I propose a woman like that who is normal, who multiracial and LGBT. Usually mommas know what is best for the kids. So why not the ultimate love momma? You mess with us and we’ll f-u up. You work with us and we’ll love you to pieces. So I propose momma bear. Even better if she’s well educated with a medical PhD and…but I mean, why not a hotel maid? My mom was a hotel maid and she’s got the best heart and mind you’ll ever meet. Don’t need a PhD to be president.

        How about a young guy with truly progressive ideas? I find it hard to believe no one ever gains enough traction with social media the way it is, or maybe it’s because social media is the way it is. Or maybe people like that just don’t get into politics.

        No, it is true. If Trump wins enough votes and Congress certifies the election, Trump wins. It’s always been that way. I didn’t spell out Trump in my original post for brevity.

        I don’t think Congress does tie breakers.

      I’ve think a lot of cops express how unhappy they are with the justice systems. Imagine getting a call for a domestic abuse. Show up and see this piece of shit beat his wife and kid. You arrest them and put them in jail. 6 months later you get another call same fucking guy same fucking thing. The courts gave him a reduced sentence. Rinse and repeat for your career. You’re catching the same dirt bags over and over and the justice system keeps putting them back out there cause they either are too lenient or under funded to handle them. Cops can make the arrest but have no control over the justice system. I get a lot of us hate cops but I think we can all empathize how hard it would be to see the same people every couple months victimizing the same people

          Many don’t want to change. They know what they know and lifestyle is set in. Like asking if you can be rehabilitated to be a trump supporter. Some thing’s are just in you and will never change

            Ykniw there’s a very large anti cop contingent on the Trump side. Do you really think the Jan 6 types are really into law n order? You think most rednecks like cops? It’s suburban play acting rednecks that are into thin blue line horseshit.

            Many may be victims of a legal system that incentivizes recidivism and bullshit laws.

            For profit prisons need bodies to get federal cash, plus the cash from the underpaid labor the prisoners provide.

            I’m sure it would cost the government less to implement social programs that help nurture and support everyone than to continue to subsidize and pay private prisons.

            I have no proof of anything. But saying most don’t want to change seems hyperbolic and dog whistle-y.

            A very small minority are probably wired wrong and are indeed unchanging in their ways, I’d say the vast majority were set up to fail for profit.

        Interestingly, the rate of domestic abuse among LEO is significantly higher than in the normal population. “Good cops” clean their own house so rarely that when they do, they can become a celebrity and have a book and movie written about them (Serpico).

            Not necessarily pertaining to your point, which I get, and have also heard directly from people I know IRL who are now or used to be police. I just get surprised every time how indignant they will get over other people committing crimes repeatedly, while they overlook the same things in their own in-group, or even help shelter.

    “Bianco also challenged the idea of systemic racism or bias in law enforcement”

    Yes, because no police department ever has had these kinda problems in the United States.
