At that was only one precinct in NYC at the time. Imagine all the others in NY, LA, Chicago, Boston, Philly and every other big city.
oh no doubt

Who gets to choose the tiebreaker ME??It’s going to go to a best of three series now.
So now there are conflicting autopsy reports... or least an independent autopsy ordered by Floyd’s family that conflicts with the medical examiner’s preliminary report.

I only caught it in passing, but he also seemed to be asking us to start taking this virus thing more seriously. Something about preferring we not have to start mandating a bunch of shit and enforcing it. I guess we're not doing a very good job here of flattening the curve. Based on what I've seen, that's unsurprising. 90% of the masks I see are all the way down on people's chins. Maybe we really do need a little structure and discipline down here.
damn...

The government should stop wasting our tax money on horse shit and make policing a high paying, highly trained job.
You have to got to school for 4 plus years just to teach kindergarten. Train the police way longer and vet them properly. If you wanna see better police make the job financially desirable. Why are cops known for having major issues with domestic violence, mental illness & alcoholism/addiction? Bc its attaching broken people who don't need to be very qualified. Make that job competitive and people will act responsibly to keep their cushy life. A police chief won't let no funky shit go down if he is scared shitless of being fired or losing his $. Money talks. That job also makes good people depressed, violent and lawless. The entire system needs to be revamped.
Body cameras, higher training standerds, diversity, oversight... more finical support / less hours. WAYYYYYYY more mental health support. These are things that could be done. Every cop show doesn't have to be so got damned depressing haha.
Also, why no tazers, pepper spray, sound control etc. Why always lethal force in 2020. We went to space and we can still only shoot metal wildly at people to arrest them. Weaksauce.
In my city they start just shy of six figures not counting overtime, uniform/body armor allowances, health benefits, and a kick ass retirement plan. A veteran officer makes well into six figures without ever really having to achieve rank. Police chief maxes out around 224k base salary and rank and file guys have been known to take home home more than that with their OT. It’s so competitive that having a four year degree is an unofficial requirement. Law enforcement and firefighters have always been a career that bridges the lower and middle class to upper class.
I’d like to see officers in high crime areas make more and work less. Take it out of the military budget. It’s such a thankless job. Imagine being subjected to nothing other than bad shit on a daily basis. It can turn even the most positive rookie coming out of the academy into a jaded head case real fast. I honestly don’t have any answers other than higher more minority cops to patrol minority areas. It sounds like segregation and really stupid, but I don’t have any good answers.The government should stop wasting our tax money on horse shit and make policing a high paying, highly trained job.

Curfew here in LA county starts at 5:00 pm.And I just got a text from the city that a 8pm-5am curfew is in effect. Two nights in a row that they’ve vandalized and destroyed property downtown. My wife works in the courts and protestors have surrounded the building. What a shit show.
