Spotted the liberal.

Who’s afraid of cops? You? I’m not…I’m a minority myself, I’ve never once felt afraid. I’ve been pulled over before. the difference is I don’t get confrontational with them, ignore them or fight back…

That cop doesn’t know if Hill has a weapon in the vehicle, a gun, something… you don’t roll up your windows and ignore a police officer when you’ve been stopped for breaking the law.

I’m a bootlicker because I believe in law and order? Spotted the liberal…

Did you watch the video? Hill rows up his window and ignores the cop… the cop doesn’t know if dude has a gun in there or not… it’s now about “having power over us” it’s about having law and order. Our laws and order is what keeps us from becoming a third world country. The minute you start allowing people to disobey law enforcement, not care, or ignore them… you lose that law and order. If you think cops have “power” over us, you’re spending too much time on Lemmy and Reddit…

Lemmy is turning into Reddit…“if I was a cop…” lol…I mean, we live in a day and age where people are being taught NOT to respect or listen to cops. This is what actually happens when you’re not obeying the officer. It doesn’t matter if your a millionaire athlete, or some homeless dude… you don’t talk back and ignore cops if you’ve been pulled over and/or detained.

Interesting how Biden and the Dems are calling for this when the Supreme Court is majority Conservatives… I wonder if he’d feel the same if the SC was majority Liberal…

“Joe Biden worries that the “extreme” US supreme court, dominated by rightwing justices, cannot be relied upon to uphold the rule of law ACCORDING TO DEMOCRATS.”

Fixed if for you.

Why don’t you join your local police department, show everyone how it’s supposed to be done?

I live in California, I travel extensively for work. I’ve been to many major cities throughout the US… the inner cities are horrible. I’m thankful I live in a smaller city (not the suburbs) in California that 100% supports its police department, low crime rates, and community support for each other.

So, what are you proposing? The United States just stop getting involved in everyone’s business? Isn’t that what Trump was about? Yet, here we are… damn if you do, damn if you don’t.

That’s fair right? Compare a lot of small, independent countries to the United States…

Feelings? What do you propose, that we allow the entire country to turn into areas like Oakland, Detroit, or Chicago? I mean, there has to be law and order. Are you proposing we “loosen” up on things, and just hope people will get nicer?

“Shoot anyone they want” is a exaggeration. There’s over 1 million police officers in this country, over 30,000 police departments… how many would you say are just “going out and shooting anyone they want?”

Name me another “democracy” with over 300 million people, from 1000’s of different cultures and backgrounds…who’s doing it right? The point is, you all seem to make it sound like it’s so easy… there’s not another country on the planet in a similar situation as the US.

The US is one of the largest countries on Earth, with all sorts of different crimes from different walks of life. Street gang or not, it’s imperative that we have strong police forces throughout the country to minimize crime. You think it’s bad now? Imagine if no one would wanted to be a cop. Imagine if every time a cop did something wrong, they were fired or imprisoned. We’d literally have no one wanting to do it. I don’t think people understand how big, and free the US is. Whenever you get something like this, strict law enforcement is not only needed, it’s required.

Okay, fair enough. To counter, officers typically have to make split second decisions that can mean life and death. They don’t want to die, just like you and me. They go to the home, it’s clear someone broke in. They announce themselves, 15 minutes later, someone comes walking to the door holding a gun. Now, how SHOULD have the cops handled the situation? Again, it’s SO easy to say “well, they should have done this…or that…” when it’s not you constantly worried about whether or not you’re going to die every time you put on your work uniform.

Someone breaks into a house, and then walks to the window holding a gun…I mean, ya’ll make it sound SO easy being a cop and reacting to split second decisions that can mean life and death…

Remember when Rodgers made fun of Kimmel? And Kimmel cried? I know, I know…“it’s NOT the same!”.
