cyclone24 1,797 Posted January 1, 2020 Oh god.....yeah so here's what would happen. We live in a nice neighborhood so we'll go hmm..let's put our money together and hire these cops to protect OUR neighborhood. So this makes those with money safer and these hell holes these people want to protect basically Lord of the Flies. Have fun with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even Coleman Young never did this. He just antagonized the cops, called them racists, and fired those that dared to arrest black people. Fortunately, the fired cops got hired in the suburbs. And the ones that stayed were sort of expected to toe Hizzonor's line. It's hard to imagine that Detroit was a nice place to live up through 1974, but twenty years of Coleman Young governance will do this to a community. When I played "The Last of Us", going through the Pittsburgh suburbs stage set after (also) twenty years of zombie apocalypse, it really looked and felt like Detroit in 1994.

tubby_mcgee 686 Posted January 1, 2020 Abolishing police...lol. That would be a big first step in a civil war.

wiffleball 4,631 Posted January 1, 2020 I agree there are far too many cops. I remember Houston had City Cops County Cops Constables Sheriffs Metro Cops School Cops Federal Cops (of many types) And more - All of whom swam in the same pond and had authority in said pond. More than anything, it's all the overhead that's such a waste; They all need their own dispatchers, uniforms, support staff, administrations, training academies, etc.. We are seriously over-militarized in that respect. They all own small arsenals - even tanks - and hey, btw - How are we doing on mass murders / shootings in this country? Besides, we could just train the cops to learn code... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted January 1, 2020 This is an older video from 2017 describing the "abolitionist movement". Right out the gate, the presenter shuts down anyone who dares say its about getting rid of cops. SO you see, if you claim that is what the abolitionist movement is, they will ban you from the conversation. Annnnndddd then at 1:14 we get this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iam90sbaby 2,120 Posted January 1, 2020 I don't oppose a dictatorship as long as it is a transitional government. There is no way we are going to policy the country out of this mess, we need a transitional military dictatorship to install the constitution again, once everything is good, we can go back having elections.

I never made that claim. My point was that radical positions are no longer a fringe position. They have become the platform. If you want to claim this particular claim is from the fringe, fine. But it’s not the only radical position brought forth. But is it such a far leap from abolishing ice and not enforcing laws? Both are radical and insane, just to a different degree.

My post was in this thread about this specific issue. You challenged the credibility of my statement and cited a DIFFERENT argument which you then used to make your point (strawman). Then, when pointed out that your strawman was a bad argument, you moved the goalposts of your strawman. Now, you're trying a second poor strawman by tying the abolishment of police to other arguments again. Secondly, are you saying that if a radical position is brought forth by a lawmaker of a party, it's then the position of the party as a whole?

Not all radical positions, but the ones that have been instituted and stated as policy from candidates and elected officials are obviously the position. And no, (paraphrasing) your original comment was that the left gets branded when their fringe makes an outlandish claim. That's a generality, and that's what I replied to. You are now defending a specific item, which I never brought up. I'm pointing out that the generality that you invoked is not valid considering actual occurrences and policies that are brought forth are ridiculous. They can't run away from their "fringe" when they are doing what the "fringe" wants. Show me ridiculous policies from the fringe right that have actually been instituted or proposed in a debate and maybe you can salvage a draw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baker Boy 1,477 Posted January 4, 2020 Old news! From 2015 The Obama administration released a plan to expand federal control over state and local law enforcement. The plan released Monday, entitled Task Force on 21st Century Policing, advocates the federalization of police agencies across the country by forcing them to adhere to stricter requirements when they receive federal funding. https://www.infowars.com/obama-to-expand-federal-control-over-state-local-police/ President Barack Obama announced new efforts to demilitarize America’s police departments on Monday, telling an audience in Camden, New Jersey that heavily-armed police forces have left many local residents feeling alienated and intimidated. “We’ve seen how militarized gear can sometimes give people a feeling like there’s an occupying force,” Obama said. “We’re going to prohibit some equipment made for the battlefield that is not appropriate for those police departments.” http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/obama-ban-military-weapons-sent-local-police-departments Obama Administration and UN Announce Global Police Force to Fight ‘Extremism’ In U.S. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2015/10/02/obama-administration-and-un-announce-global-police-force-to-fight-extremism-in-u-s/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
