NYC Professor - Do we even have to guess he wears a Che shirt? Probably the only reason the cops backed off. I'm guessing the Mayor got a call from the dean, saying "If you don't want every professor here calling you a crypto-fascist in every class, you better make this go away".
There would have been less chance of a good outcome if it had been a truck driver who was registered Republican.

Cops are all about ego and display of power.
Much like a liberal.

Why are you digressing with things that are entirely beside the point?
It would be a step away from the welfare state that everyone could agree with. People get a part or all tax CREDIT for donations to anything that is currently considered charity.

Well if you want to get dully pedantic, a crazy person is a “threat” but one that is best dealt with using means that actually have a HEART.

But I do like the idea of having the chief law enforcement officer being directly elected by the people, as is the case with the sheriff. And now visualize yourself having had to defend yourself against a black thug, in a town where the Sheriff got elected by the black vote.

Sheriff and local PD isn't perfect, but I trust them more than the State Cops. I can elect the sheriff. Local PD is hit or miss depending on department.

No mechanism on earth can defeat raw politics.
Only what is OFF earth, can.

It seems that modern cop craft is based on the premise that everybody you meet is a crook. Militaristic training. Most of the good cops are over 45. Old school vs new school.

And the next step after weaning from the welfare state by making donations be tax creditable, would be to eliminate the taxes. And guess what... the donations would probably keep up.
And you want to hobble it up with all kinds of human minded garbage!

And now visualize yourself having had to defend yourself against a black thug, in a town where the Sheriff got elected by the black vote. I'd be getting out of dodge if I defended myself. No police involvement.

It was the trajectory that YOUR thoughts went in. (Fixed, as you say.)

Military training would be an improvement.
There would be far, far fewer officer related shootings if we held our police to the same rules of engagement that we hold over our military.
An Afghanistani terrorist is safer in the sights of a US combat professional than John Q. Public is answering a cop’s knock at his door.

Wait, are you saying the cop didn’t “follow protocol” in this case?

This sort of thing would end if all training academies had to have certification which judges could pull.
To: Repeat Offender
Wait, are you saying the cop didnt follow protocol in this case? As no dog was shot, we can safely say that protocol was not followed here.
