They do have difficult jobs. These protests are against the institution of policing and a need for a complete overhaul because a) they're not effective b) many have shown themselves to be biased and not trustworthy in policing themselves. You said police aren’t doing their job, based on what? I’m making the point that to compare them with firefighters is silly because their jobs are so much harder.

They really don’t have the power to have a nation wide mask mandate. Those are states rights protected by the 10th Amendment. It would be tough enforcing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol particularly Rand Paul... the dude who wrote the Breonna Taylor bill. The more these idiots do this stuff the more i am convinced they don't actually want change. They just want to complain. I'm inclined to think their absurd demands were chosen for the very reason. EDIT: that's painting with a broad brush and yes I'm very aware plenty of them probably do want attainable changes. In the video I quoted, I didn't see anyone following anyone around. I saw some middle fingers and some obscenities, if they didn't want to hear or see that they shouldn't have walked out into the streets during the protest.

"Vote Biden, your house will burn down". Never mind that 99.9% of Americans aren't being affected by these lawless actions. Kind of like the China virus. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police, as an institution, isn’t doing its job in many of these places. We're not talking about individual police here. And that post was in regards to the lack of trust as it pertains to the FD and PD. You can have the most difficult job in the world, you'll earn people's trust if you attempt to do what's right and just. The policing institution hasn't earned it in the inner city. . Case in point, the guy who kicked this entire thing off - Derek Chauvin. The guy had 18 prior complaints against him. WTF is he still doing on the street? And, surprise, surprise, he ends up executing someone in broad daylight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like the Teachers' Union, it protects the worst among them, giving the rest a bad name. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'blue wall of silence' is not only detrimental to communities, but also the people who serve in law enforcement. I don't agree with BLMs methods, but their reasoning for action is 100% correct. The police institution (albeit union, whatever) needs to be modified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Dr Birx flying into Fargo Saturday to meet with Burgum about the "uptick" in cases. Still no deaths in Cass County, the state's most populated county, in 40+ days. Hopefully Birx gets in early enough to get to "Justice Island" before 10 am to witness the beginning of the local BLM protest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a hunch that many here would agree with that and think Derek Chauvin should be a free man. I think two things are likely true with Chauvin and George Floyd. 1. Chauvin has zero business laying on his neck for that long, he needs to be held accountable for his actions, whatever the lawyers decide he deserves is ok with me. 2. George Floyd would likely still be alive if he didn’t also have the fentanyl in his system and then get subjected to the Chauvins knee. Both things played a role in his death I believe and that in no way is me defending Chauvin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the reason for bad cops rarely being fired is the police union. They come as a package unfortunately. Although the Teacher's Union is no longer forced dues, so teachers can opt out of paying but still receive benefits. Death by 1 million opt outs. I know some bleeding heart teachers that hate their union with a passion, but the cops I know are all-in on the union. That's just based on my sample size though. Edit: we can't pick and choose public unions to fund. They are all detrimental to society in my opinion, but their endorsements are too important to politicians for any to take them on. If Trump was the rogue he says he is, he'd do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was dying before the cops showed up. He just didnt know it. Correct. Unless George's friends had taken him to an emergency room in the next 60-90 minutes he would have died that day from having a lethal dose of fentanyl in his system causing him to experience a pulmonary edema. He originally said he couldn't breathe when he was sitting upright in the back of the police car. Slowed down video of the initial approach to his vehicle seems to show a rather large white tablet on his tongue. My speculation is that he swallowed it to avoid drug charges as this probably wasn't his first time getting pulled over with drugs. So I would say he began to die shortly after the cops showed up and he ingested a lethal dose of fentanyl. Officer Chauvin and the others have a duty to administer aid which they did not do and seemed to be indifferent to the man who was struggling to breathe and was not struggling to escape for 7-8 minutes. His lips turning blue and white liquid coming out of his nose and mouth should have alerted a trained first responder to the problem and I would have to believe that the officers and first responders in most big cities have Narcan with them.
