As much as I am hoping that this is not happening and Fox got it wrong my faith in humanity is currently low enough to believe it.  Banghead

I heard about this on one of Tim Pool's videos covering the riots but it took me a while to track down the video, an Antifa rioter gets shot in the leg by a rubber bullet and from the reactions you would think it was a near fatal wound or required immediate amputation.

Christ these are stupid bleedin' kids LARPing. A tourniquet for a flesh wound? Are you bloody serious? And as for that moron screaming that they don't want to lose their leg.  Banghead

Just when I think things can't get any more screwed up Minneapolis councillors are looking at ways to disband the police force to replace with a non violent body.....


 rubschin:

 rubschin:


Am I the only person here who is starting to get a feeling of impending doom...  facepalm:

There are clearly problems with the police force in that city but to completely disband the force and replace them with "a community-oriented, nonviolent public safety and outreach capacity" is going to make you really popular with criminals. I'd love to see how a non violent outreach capacity would combat gang crime, murders and rapes in such a way as to make the city's population feel safe again.

http://www.citypages.com/news/minneapolis-city-council-members-consider-disbanding-the-police/570993291

If you want to deal with the problems you have with the police in Minneapolis then contact the State Police or IA from a different state and ask them to perform a root and branch investigation, hell you could even ask the FBI just make sure that the entire process and any subsequent criminal proceedings are make completely transparent.   

And LA is just as bad. How many police officers are going to be sacrificed because you've decided to defund them by $150m for a bend the knee publicity stunt? Just under 12,5000,000 people live in LA

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackbrewster/2020/06/04/la-mayor-slashes-lapd-budget-as-calls-to-defund-police-slowly-pick-up-steam/

Have any of these idiots even considered what it will mean if this movement to defund the police nationally succeeds? The only people who will be safe from criminals will be those rich enough to afford private security because if you think that crime levels have been bad up to now (riots nonwithstanding) then you have no idea what will follow once people realise that the authorities are no longer capable of upholding the law.

The more I see of the riots and read about stupid shite like this the more inclined I am to contact my brother and tell him to get himself and his family the hell out of America before it's too late.  Banghead

A dystopian nightmare...  Banghead

I've been reading elsewhere that the issue there (and in the UK) is that the unions are so strong.

Essentially, you can't discipline or fire a cop that is bad at his/her job. Throw in diversity targets and gender equality and you have a 'force' that is simply useless...

So the trick is not to get rid of them but remove unions and weed out the bad ones...
