That money can be used for other important things, perhaps some of it can even go in to training them on how to handle mentally ill people without unnecessary violence, etc etc.

They need to quit allowing people to act however they please. Quit worrying about what liberals think and do the job properly. There is no excuse for the National Guard to get called to Minneapolis EVERY TIME there is a police shooting. The police need to become so strict that the rioters will be too afraid to start looting.
I'd like them to stop the obnoxious increase in violent crime happening all over the country. I don't blame them for not bothering, I wouldn't either if I could go to prison for just doing my job and everybody hates me. Armed citizens are going to have to start fighting back, crime hasn't been this bad since the '80's.
More training on how to deescalate situations. You know one of the things they are actually supposed to do for society. More training in general to be honest. My hair dresser trained for twice as many hours than a police officer.
Are you sure about your hair dresser being trained twice as many hours as a police officer?
I agree that they need more training. But they also need more decompression training. Over time some of them understandably grow jaded. They do deal with the scum of the earth all the time. That doesn’t at all excuse them for making mental shortcuts but I can see how that can happen.
Also if we require all this new training and qualifications they better be compensated well for it AND more importantly RESPECTED. Good cops are quitting in droves right now and it’s no wonder why. They are putting themselves in harms way. At times they are no different than a active duty soldier in a war zone. We got to respect good cops because they keeping the peace and often SAVING lives.
And no they shouldn't be compensated they should have been trained more to begin with. They get more gun training which is weird because it's not their job to kill people. Yet for a lot of them that's all they seem to know how to do. If they can't do that then defund the police and redistribute their obscene amount of funds into a crisis team
And do you think criminals will magically stop harming people? There are evil, twisted and violent people out there who don’t give a shit who harming, raping or killing people. They don’t care about gun laws. They don’t care about safe zones. And above all they don’t give a shit about your feelings.
There is a reason why police are armed. Yes accidents happens. Yes brutality is wrong and should be prosecuted (when solid evidence supports the case).
But the bottom line is violent crimes are skyrocketing in major cities across the USA. If you want me support the sources on it I will (I can’t post links yet because I’m new).
What drives me nuts is people who live in the suburbs get behind BLM and “defund the police” because they don’t have to suffer the consequences of rioting, increased danger in their neighborhoods, etc. But vulnerable populations (most minority unfortunately) are now living amongst emboldened criminals.
There are consequences to radical “change”. Do I agree police can be trained better? Absolutely. But make it worthwhile for the right kind of recruits to join the force. Disarming cops and “defunding” them will only do the opposite.
@Ryfyle@Aimée__LJ I hope you both live in a bad neighborhood in the city. If you don’t, then move there and keep the “defund the police” mantra and just see what happens when someone tries to break into your house. The cops might show up late (from being understaffed) or better yet not show up at all. I hope you pack heat because whoever is breaking into your house is very likely armed.
And as for you @Aimée__LJ I really hope you skilled in self defense. I really hope you can defend yourself against a potential 200lb man invading your home who intends to violate you. I got a feeling you don’t own a gun so I hope your lucky enough to land a direct knee to his balls (and hopefully he’s sober enough to feel the pain).
I swear the God what the hell is wrong with you people? Maybe you had a bad experience with the cops once. I did once a very long time ago. But I’m not holding a grudge. The vast majority of cops I’ve met are good people who are trying to uphold the peace. There is a reason why law enforcement exists.
Your attitudes DO impact society and not for the better. If you want to change policing than be a rational adult and research all the facts instead of resorting to dumbfuck mantras and hashtags.
And @Ryfyle get your head out of your troll ass. It’s obvious which person uses facts and it’s not you.
@oldasIfeel22 I do, and cops are absolutely useless. I shoot quicker and better. Sounds like Johnny Law Pounds your prostate so well that you're willing to go to bat for Rape Pigs.
@Ryfyle I assume that's a gun. In which case I invite you to look at the stats of home invasions and how likely it is for your own gun to be used against you especially if you are a woman ☺️
You might want to be careful on how they derive those Stats. It's easy to reduce things to numbers, then you miss the subtle nuances of the situation. In many of those case the Women choose not to shoot due to socialization. You're not encouraged subconsciously to be a killer. www.nbcnews.com/.../home-invader-fatally-shot-florida-pregnant-woman-ar-15-n1076026
Lol, the change is happening. Many cops are retiring or finding other jobs to get away from the violent criminals and those in politics that would hit them with a murder charge while doing a low paying job.
Violence is up in those cities, the voters are being shot and robbed and that is justice!
I want cops to seek legit respect. The only reason why we do what they tell us to do is bc they have power over us. We don’t respect them we fear them. Which makes it bad for everyone.
Thats what i said. people don’t respect them bc we fear them. Im terrified of cops more than i am of a person breaking into my home. Bc cops are in a position of authority and can do anything they want the law protects them.
It’s the resisting arrest and arguing with them that puts them in positions for mistakes to happen. If people would just stop and listen there’d be no reason to be afraid
A real good cop should b able to handle all that without getting a gun out a weapon out. Cuz if they can’t do that they’re weak. And if the person they’re trying to arrest isn’t resisting its bc they’re afraid of the weapons they have. Cuz if they wanted to they’d b able to put the cop on the floor on their own no weapon needed. Cops are weak if they can’t haddle situations like these without the need of a weapon.
mandatory body cam arrest increase budget and pay increase police state jobs advertisement money incentives for cops of other states to transfer to high crime states. city-wide surveillance with facial recognition more prisons longer sentences mandatory minimums open to the public body cam footage after 48 hours crimes such as stealing anything not food over 25 dollars will come with a mantory 2 year sentence unless it's a minor. then it will be left up to the judge.
we give criminals too many chances, george floyd was convicted of 9 felonies before he died the last of which was putting a loaded gun in a pregnant woman's belly and robbing her at gunpoint
i want more executions, i don't want these sub humans getting so many chances
I would. Am not in America but think the police in democracies do a great job of keeping the crime down to a minimum. Basic incomes or food guarantees for all citizens would possibly help, but that is more of a foreign policy goal (it could be provided by the global developed/G20 for all - except the developing countries would need to ask for it and lower their guns, violence and terrorism in exchange)
Calling for the defunding of law enforcement is without one of the stupidest things to come out recently. Law enforcement has a tough enough job dealing with the lawless crack pots in out society. A simple solution to all the hub bub is to simply do what the officer asks you to do. If the officer steps over the line, which can happen, Deal with it in the courts with a good attorney.
I'd actually really like to see corrupt officials receive the appropriate type of punishment because unfortunately in law enforcement a lot of people get away and when they are actually held accountable they are not fully held accountable.
Give them more power to shoot criminals. We have too much bad bad behavior going on in the U. S. Maybe if we had tougher penalties for criminals, then maybe people would clean up their bad behavior. We wouldn't even need to increase funding.
Far more police, and far more heavily armed. I would like walking beat cops to increase by about 10 fold, especially in rough neighborhoods. Far more raids on people growing and using weed as well.
I don't think that increasing funding goes with the left wing silly way of thinking. I don't think this was planned from the start but eventually they'll use lawlessness as an excuse to federalize police enforcement. They are closet authoritarians.
End of Qualified immunity, Much stricter admission standards and more extensive training measures. More funding for institutions to root out corrupt officers
Same here well close one cop put me in handcuffs cause of being in an area and looking like a suspect.. I dont even know what the person did that looked like me.. the cop that put the cuffs on me thought I was playing stupid his partner believed me.. said why dont we ask the witness cause it will be trumazing we found the lady now she can await trail.. I said what the hell is happening? One the that cuffed me said why dont you tell us.. I said okay I was coming into the mall to pay my phone bill and I get arrested walking past the food court.. now I dont know what the person did that looks like me did but im not the person and you arrest me won't solve your problem cause I am not your problem you will arrest someone innocent even go to the witness he/she will say im innocent.. one cop said stop wasting our time bitch.. started reading me my rights.. the good cop left returned back with the witness.. witness said thats not her.. cop said are you sure? Then the cop got mad at the good job for ruining his investigation. Good cop let me go I ran away.. bad one told me to stop I said I am already late for work now I can't and I didn't.. I got in my car and drove off.. last time I went into the store to pay my phone bill was before covid too.. I didn't even pay it that day and I never go in that specific mall entrance either..
Only time I went to the cops was after I got raped and they laughed at me.. so they can all get new jobs as far as I am concerned
easier said then done. look at countries now with little to no police involvement. you are 100x more likely to be raped and killed in those places compare to America
Personally I’d rather deal with vigilantes because at least vigilantes are aiming in the general direction of justice. But I’m getting tired of seeing cops, who we pay to protect us, routinely fucking people over, killing people and raping people.
And please don’t give the “oh it’s just a few bad ones” shit. They know it’s going on and they do Jack shit about it. The thin blue line crap, and the pro cop no matter what crowd protect abusers.
Thanks Agape I had no clue what to say.. I dont know didn't expect to be attacked.. I just know the cops have never helped me.. they are clocking in and clocking out like anyone else they dont care about us as individuals they see things time and time again..
Anytime hon. Folks like this always start shit. If you don’t want to deal with them further, I suggest blocking them.
Exactly. I’ve been arrested for shit i hadn’t done, on my own property and inside my own house. Cops only helped once and that was because they had no choice but to do something. That’s it. I get along better with wardens because at least they’re down to earth and actually give a shit
They show no remorse or regret either.. like even tho they know it could be wrong they are too lazy to figure it out they just want to close the case and move on to the next one weather or not they have the actual person that committed the crimes.. case closed
in other words "anything the government says must be Blindly accepted" - liberals
which is exactly what's happening, this is why they want to take our guns away so they can have maximum control and authority over us and we have to accept it or else...

@oldasIfeel22 yep police in the usa train for about 633 hours which is nothing really. Cosmetology is about 1500 hours

So your martial arts training would also be useless. Good to see you would rather be a victim than have a chance.
@Ryfyle have a better chance using other methods of staying safe.

And did you know that more than 70 % of cops in the Usa abuse of their autority? They grope, they provoke.
That’s just a made up number. Where are the facts to back that up
It may be made up but many cops abuse of their power. Thats a fact
Anyone who mouths off to a cop or resists arrest deserves a beat down for being a dumb ass.
I agree with ya. Just if they aren’t weak they won’t b needing a gun or taser.

Facial recognition is very faulty.
It can be improved. And paired with cell tower tracking and eye witness
Nothing. Because in my opinion any changes made are merely band-aids.
The real problems are far deeper than police. Change the police, delete them from existence. It changes nothing.

I wouldn’t go that far but yeah they usually just cause issues for people.
I would they believe liers
And they’re usually liars themselves. I understand that b
The thing is, if you don't do anything illegal they won't bother you.

these comments are cracking me up
only a criminal who favor the suspect over the victim would say such a thing
Sorry, who are you and why do you think we’re talking to you? Piss off
Oh man do you have some growing up to do! Next time you need help go to the cops they will do squat shit to help you!
and criminals will?
Nope were basically all on our own in this world
😅😅hahaha
easier said then done.
look at countries now with little to no police involvement. you are 100x more likely to be raped and killed in those places compare to America
Not sure honestly
try it
go move to your anti-police state and tell us how it is 😆

Wow that makes sense they dont act better than you sorta deal..
Yeap. The only difference between us and them, is they won’t arrest each other but they can arrest, murder, hurt and violate us with nigh impunity.
They show no remorse or regret either.. like even tho they know it could be wrong they are too lazy to figure it out they just want to close the case and move on to the next one weather or not they have the actual person that committed the crimes.. case closed
Yeap because they don’t usually care. Even the ones that do are desensitized and jaded to the point where caring just doesn’t happen.
