It’s a very hard job to be a police officer. &’people thinking “there’s 2 of them it should be easy,” have either never been in a fight or tried to subdue someone who is actively using their entire body to resist being restrained in their life.. it’s not that easy to stop someone kicking, scratching, punching, pulling, biting. So most cops have a very hard job. Over & over again. Cops rarely get called to fucking save a cat up a tree, it’s usually to stop a huge dude from beating his wife, or a crackhead to stop doing some crackhead shit..

That being said, we need better training, VASTLY. It should take years & a bachelor equivalent to become someone who can legally kill someone & legally suspend your constitutional rights.

No one wants the job anymore. My buddy lives a little south of salt lake. Half of the cops for his area quit after the riots.

He definitely isn't helping the situation, but to blame him for a cops killing any black guy is ludicrous. He also sent 100 Federal agents to portland and told the Governor if they werent going to end this shit the Federal govt would, so i dont see how he isn't helping to enforce or restore order either. His tweets are stupid, I agree, but I think this would have happened no matter who was in office as this shit has been bubbling up for years with the whole PC climate shifting to racial injustice movement.

He needs to stop being fucking worried about being liked by his constituency & start speaking about these topics honestly. Presidents are fucking tested man, it’s the hardest job in the world. Whatever you say is gonna piss millions of people off. He hasn’t said SHIT that isn’t something safe to his constituency & to unite this country. That resonates with people, he antagonizes the masses. On both sides. As president you represent EVEYONE, & when people don’t feel represented they take the streets. He hasn’t empathized to dissolve the situation among the people in between & it’s passed that point.

Sending a few hundred troops to defend a federal building isn’t restoring shit. He is the president, he actually doesn’t understand how much soft power he actually has behind the scenes, federal resources are actually immense & he thinks “well I asked them permission on twitter to go in & they said no so lemme go put em blast and grandstand.” That is not a fucking leader bro lol. You empathize with your people on the valid concerns & you maintain order in the background without needing credit.

Low information voters feelings don’t care about facts.

Biden will fix these issues, despite not doing shit about it as Obama’s VP for 8 years, even when they had a majority control of both the House & Senate for two of those years...? Mk

The issue with retarded police stems from how easy it is to become a law enforcement officer. It’s as easy as joining the academy & completing the what, 40 hour course. In most other countries you have to go to school & train for it for like two years, & complete a multitude of training dealing with different scenarios.

Biden isn’t going to fix shit, it’ll be a moderate mediocre boring presidency, but at least his sheer name doesn’t bring divisiveness in every room it’s mentioned. It makes you take a side. We don’t need that as people. We are at each other’s throats.

ok so 7 shots are fine. Not 1 to a non lethal area. 7. Keep that mindset. See where it takes you. Good luck.

Keeping it non-lethal goes out the window when the person either has a weapon or makes it look like he's going for a weapon, especially when tasing and wrestling him into submission didn't work. The "wait and see" approach stops when the cops life could be in danger.

Is this boycott going to be considered a loss?

Should be
