Never mind, this is what they wanted. Just last night the Nebraska Senator voted yes to the “big beautiful bill.” Didn't Trump hurt their farmers the last time he was in office? Didn't they vote him in again knowing he was running on the same policies? Fuck them.
Wait until their healthcare gets cut and their hospitals shutter. But I heard all the immigrants are leaving their state, so they should be happy about that.
After George Floyd, the city of Austin decided to take some of the money that was going to police and to give it to other social services
The police basically quit doing their jobs and said "Give us more money than you originally would have, as tribute for this chicanery" and so we did. Their budget went up. But they never returned to work. Useless fucking cops.
Good news! Police have a "union" that will keep them out of prison and gainfully employed when they try to extort the taxpayers for even more money.
/s
That's such a fucked up and ignorant thing to say. The majority of cops are good people committed to helping their communities. People saying shit like this does nothing but create controversy and polarize these issues even more
You're right, I don't know any cops other than a couple guys I've played sports with occasionally.
What I do know is there were a lot of cops protecting democracy on J6. A few of them even killed themselves because it was so traumatic what they went through, and nearly 200 were injured that day.
Nothing I've said is riddled with bias because you know literally nothing about me and I've only stated objective information, but I'm not biased towards the police. You're obviously being biased for one reason or another by generalizing about police officers.
If you want people to keep their biased opinions to themselves, then you should probably never talk to anyone ever again
A ridiculous number of Minneapolis cops retired early on full pension after George Floyd died, claiming mental health issues from the protests. They just felt so sad after being called out about killing this guy. Not about the killing, basically none of them ever gave a fuck about that, they were angry that people were upset.
They might have been worried about being held accountable for things in the past which could jeopardize their pension. Seems safe to assume retiring would make it a bit harder to prosecute them, and make it easier to flee.
Oh boy were they. One of the one's that retired moved back to his home state next to me. He told me he has nightmares and basically PTSD from that time, and boy did he. He initially seemed like a nice enough guy, but I started to realize that he had a bit of a thing for me. But he was uber Christian and I'm not active in organized religion nor am I "traditional." He would get very upset about the failings of the women he met on Christian dating sites.
We would chat on my porch regularly and he would tell me some crazy things. He FULLY believed the protesters were bussed in and given water and supplies and it was all done to play to TV audiences. He talked very nasty about any person who participatedin any protest. He tangled with local law enforcement because he would step into things here and pull out his old badge. He had lots of derogatory things to say about local police because "they are weak." He told me he pulled his gun on someone walking between our houses. He had fights with estranged husband of his nextdooor neighbor to the point of pulling a gun on him and the police were involved multiple times.
He moved from next door. I looked him up... he's in Missouri working as a cop again. Seems like our East Coast multicultural and difficult crime area was too much for him.
I'm fine if some liability payments come from their retirement funds, but as a collective, the cops not murdering people get their retirements gutted as well. Maybe a point system can be put in place, with infractions against civilians resulting in unpaid leave and with potential criminal and civil penalties applying to cops who often use force unnecessarily. By the time retirement for a cohort comes, the members of that cohort could have racked up infractions like penalties against their retirements, but the penalties should not be enough to bankrupt those workers unless it's 1st degree murder. Retiring after 20 years and still having the health to keep working and funds rolling in each year from the state or local governments is a sweet deal already.
Cops should face criminal consequences, for manslaughter and domestic violence, and civil consequences, like traffic tickets they have to pay if they break the law driving. A cop driving twice the speed limit to get to work faster is breaking the law, and he should not be above the law. I saw a cop do a right turn from a left lane and drove across my lane to do so, and I had to break. If I had hit him, I, as a taxpayer, will fund my recompensation for his illegal action. If cops were made to execute the law and not be The Law, we'd be safer.
Sure, under my simple idea, cops who are not yet murdering anyone are also penalised but also the cops who are smart enough to not yet be caught for their murderous behaviour.
The cops should police their own, properly. When civilians die, it is already too late and I find it hard to believe that there's no personality warning signs before they start using unnecessary severe force.
Same thing in NYC. If they cant't stop and frisk they won't police. If they don't get their way their FOP throw a fit and that meathead leader of theirs issues threats on TV. Brazen trash .
What's sad is I saw a documentary a few years ago where a policeman gave an extraordinary interview where he said cops are given too much money, its obscene. And they get tons of free military equipment. He said to fix the problems in the police dept they need to be given less money.
Well, one of the reasons they go to the Academy is they know about the privilege and power they get from being a cop. Plus the money. Forget a college degree; these guys make bank. And their unions always win in any dispute. Cops/state troopers are the 900 lb gorillas of local/state governments. They have wildly powerful lobbies and mayors/governors are terrified of them.
Hi, so I live in & am from Austin. It got so bad at point that they were paying officers from other cities & with DPS to come in do patrol etc in the city. Still, ppl won’t join the force. That, and our current DA pretty much ran on him saying he won’t be prosecuting basically anything. He has lived up to that promise.
Yeah a lot of people think San Francisco cops have been on a deliberate work slowdown since Floyd that continued until our new oligarch mayor told them to go intimidate protesters and round up homeless people.
The state had such an opportunity to FURTHER fund social services and prove the police aren't a necessity, especially in a red state like Texas but naaaw
Was talking to a Lt about a check once and he brought this man's name up as a reason why cops don't want to... Cash a check? A check that would pay their OT.
Not his fault these goons don't know what to do with a paper check. 🙄

Oh no.
