Does all your, saying psychopath like it's a dirty word, matter?
Saying 7th from the top SOUNDS bad. But wait, there's 'clergy" at #8. And surgeon at #5... OMG !!
As I've said, SOME cops will occasionally over-react. But out of the 1.2 million cops we have in the US, we see what, maybe 20 incidents, maybe 50. That's a pretty damn good success rate, if you ask me.
We're talking MAYBE .00004 % of the police officers, HAVE... "incidents".
I don't know whether those of you that thinks all cops are evil and just out to get you or the black man, are serious, or just need to see a doctor, or educate yourselves or what.
Here's my suggestion: When you guys are seated judges, then maybe we should concern ourselves with your arguments? Otherwise go back to your 'wine spritzer SJW meetings" and let those whose job it IS to oversee police officers...do their jobs. :)
I'm not trying to put you down, I'm just trying to keep you from starting a "movement" that leaves us with nuns for police officers. Which would be a seriously inadequate solution.After all these years in the US, I think we may just already have the best solution WE could come up with.
Don't get me wrong. If the day ever comes when we have police officers hanging folks by their ankles and disemboweling them... well then, I'll be right there with you crying foul.
But comparing us to other countries is fallacious reasoning, because there are no other countries remotely like the US, on this planet. I'm not saying that we are perfect or better. But we are definitely, a NEW idea as to how country should work.
And yes folks, it's analogy time. :D
Think about teachers or bouncers. they are sort of like police officers but a a very teeny tiny scale.
WHY do the methods THEY employ, seem to work?
Well, maybe it's because of the "amount" of people that they are held responsible for. A bouncer has how many? 50? 80?, and a teacher how many 30? 50?
Now lets take a police officer in Pittsburgh, PA... a small to mid-sized city in the US.
Pittsburgh, PA = 303,625
Pittsburgh, PA police officers 1,230
That means every police officer has 246 people to "protect and to serve". And not only does each officer have that many, that have another officer right next to them with their own 246, etc., etc.For these officers to "keep the peace" they have to be a bit more well armed, a bit more ready to act, a bit faster on the draw, so to speak.
Let's say we have a bouncer at a very large club, say 400 people. There will be more than one bouncer and those bouncers are ONLY responsible for those people in the club, AND if things do get out of hand...who ya gonna call... Yep the police.
So the police not only have to do their jobs, but have to keep and eye on the bouncers, the teachers, the ER docs, etc.
Asking police officers to have a better than say... .00004 % success rate is pretty unrealistic, in the US that is. Where we DO have more freedoms than most other countries, so some folk DO tend to get a bit more rowdy, sometimes.
Can you imagine how many police officers we would need to do things the liberal way? You couldn't find enough people willing to do the job.
Nice to see artists in the lowest category. It always sucks how much they've been demonised by TV and film. Every other psycho is some reclusive artist.
