I’m not involved in this “discussion” anymore.
That’s part of the real issue here.
There are bad cops.
This does not excuse looters and rioters.
Yes, it is a model used throughout history, it is a form of the Hegelian Dialectic: Problem – Reaction – Solution.
For a recent example think about this, all of a sudden toward the end of GWB's second term, we started hearing on all of the "news"casts about a terrible "healthcare crisis!!" over and over. All of a sudden we had a terrible PROBLEM on our hands. People REACTED: "it isn't right that people are dying on our streets.... not fair that so many have no insurance.... we must DO SOMETHING for them... blah blah blah..." Then, the SOLUTION appears, 0bammyCare!!
An attempt was made by the Southern Poverty Law Center and some rouge FBI agents to flip the police into "thugs for the progressives'.
Word was put out that white middle class, middle aged men were killing police officers in order to 'move up' in their organizations. No 'proof was offered - just innuendo and secrecy. The cover story was about a 'vast right wing conspiracy'... Luckily Hillary 'spilled the beans' about the VRWC and the 'lone wolfs'... in an uneasy defense of Bill Clinton's philandering - and turned a serious totalitarian power grab into a joke.
The goal was to flip the police. It didn't work. There were no 'lone wolves attempting to kill police officers... police officers were being killed - but by the usual suspects - criminals, black gang members etc...
The next plan was to arm the police as if they were the military. Distance them from the people they're suppose to serve.
That didn't work either.
Now we have this - the 'if they won't join us' then we'll strip them of power - reeducated and federalize. In short - replace them... Reeducate those who can be 'reeducated' and dump the one's that resist.
Sadly for them - whoever the hell they are - they're out of time. The clock's running down ... and once again the good guy's will win.
Actually, I would assert that cutting two thirds of law enforcement, primarily at the federal and state level would get us where we need to be.
Overall county enforcement has the least frequent over staffing. And the most accountability.
That’s a normal purchase for DHS. DHS uses a lot of rounds for qualifications. The Border Patrol alone uses over a million rounds a year just for qualifications. In addition the rounds are to be used over a ten year period.
Things have recently changed perhaps because of this controversy. DHS has stopped using hollow point ammo and now uses a cheaper full metal jacket round for training. Agents are no longer given additional rounds to practice on their own as well.
Correction the Border Patrol uses over 5 million rounds a year. 72 rounds for basic qual, four times a year times 20,000 agents.
That was one of the most popular (and racist of course) bumper stickers of the 60's.
Now the aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats have lived long enough get it changed to
Abort Your Local Police
We know the feds advise the police to keep blacks on plantation. White cops obey Obama orders of jailing a free black daring to sell lemonade and the white cops are the ones blamed when something wrong happens.
This is all Democrat manipulation.
