National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (and now ICE)

Stay safe, stay smart, stay at home, protect what's yours, keep a flashlight handy.

I agree It's been a long, long week for America and I'm sad as well.

There have been a lot of bad decisions made by everyone.

So, your description of the Asian cop as I understand it is not correct.

Officers Chauvin and Thao were the training officers on site. The rookies were Officers Lane and Kueng.
 
I "possibly" stand corrected (If the positioning and naming of the officers is correct-not sure) but the Asian officer at the back of the vehicle was obviously uncomfortable several times. No excuses as he should have acted and saved George's life while at other times he was nonchalant. Disgusting either way.
 
The day people want to start paying cops as much as we pay pilots, and the day cops get just as much training & development as pilots, then I guarantee you all of these woes will be solved. You'd get the best of the best.

But... we live in the real world, where people don't want to pay for jack shit. A nation never gets what it needs, it only gets what it deserves.

Most pilots make less than most police officers.
 
I have had many of my friends lately asked me about security measures for their home, how to get our state pistol permit, how to buy a gun/ammo and firearms training because of this. They are a mix of people who have had training and some never had. Some have guns and some want their first one.

They all suck. At one point all four of them were on the deceased, which is after he'd already been put in the squad car.

Huh? Median Income of an Airline pilot is Airline Pilot Salary | Salary.com

Yes, your big 747 type pilots make what that says, but it takes years for most pilots to get there. Most start off making around $25k a year.

And most police officers I know will make more than that, especially after OT is factored in.
 
For the sake of clarifacation....

Is this your belief or are you being sarcastic?

Yes, that was pure sarcasm, I thought it would readily come through in the post, I was wrong.

Clarification: If for any reason, a citizen of the United States previously put very much faith in the gov't or being able to count on the rest of society to keep themselves safe and secure, the previous few months should have erased that idea in a reasonable person's mind.

The medical community is not set up to handle disasters.

Police and Fire are not big enough to handle mass unrest.

There's enough idiots in the population to cause massive damage to the rest of us. Enough to necessitate owning firearms....if I was home now I'd be wishing I could get my hands on some bear spray and a few grenades just in case.
 
My wife was Argentine FedPol for 25yrs and carried everyday for work. Shit is RUFF down there. When she immigrated here to Fay, USA, she thought she was gonna get a break. She thought wrong.

She trained for and got her CCP here in NC a few years ago. I used to have to ask her to concealed carry to the supermarket. I don't anymore.

I cried with her a few years ago when Argentina was burning, now she's crying with me. Fayetteville, NC is on fire.

ETA: Pretty sure the AR-15 Q has been put to rest for at least the near future. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: 8-)
 
That's messed up but, sadly, doesn't even crack top 20 as far as messed up things I've seen during this.

In MN, the NG was deployed to protect hospitals and critical government buildings, like State capital, courts, Federal Reserve, etc. Perimeters are set up with streets blocked off to reduce access. Their presence is very visable.

In MN, the governor and other elected officials are trying to push this bullshit narrative that most of the rioters and those causing the unrest are "white supremacist" groups and out of staters. While I'm sure there are some of these, a vast majority are like the ones you saw in the video. It wasn't white supremacists that looted the Target and liquor stores, among others.
