Here are some of my photos from protests in Houston tonight.  The cops did their best to divide and disperse the crowd.  I saw a couple of arrests, but not sure the context.  I have never been in the

This of course completely ignores the incident that sparked all of these protests involved 4 cops! The problem with police force is not individual bad actors. It is system violence and illegal behavior. 

I’m not ignoring that.   I’m saying it would be a start to relieve the tension in the majority of incidents.  If you can’t wade through that level of nuance, perhaps you shouldn’t be carrying on “gotcha” conversations on a message board.

I’ve seen a lot of research that says pairing cops up together is more dangerous for citizens- if they have a buddy they are more likely to be militant- if they are by themselves they are more likely to deescalate tensions. 

I can see that too.  But I think there are ways to mitigate that.

Good start. I’d also say adopt airline style teams. Never have two officers with under 5 years experience together.

A police Officer is only permitted to carry a weapon after five years of proper service. 
 

60% of the force needs to live in the county they patrol.  Offer housing assistance for those who need it. 
 

Offer forgivable scholarships in return for service to the minority communities/ recruitment. 
 

Body cameras on at all times sans bathroom. Penalties for non-compliance are severe. Shoot someone in the shitter, forced resignation. 
 

Separate prosecution for police officers. Don’t have DA’s prosecute and then have to rely on the police for other criminal cases. 

Out of rep for today

Was the research before or after wide spread body camera usage?  
 

With cameras, the partner is a second eye witness and lessens the chance of a camera “failure” IMO. 
 

*also, have google/dell/amazon+ any corporation endow a fund to provide the necessary storage for the amount of data produced nationwide by LEOs. Give them no excuses and make the largest corporations actually put some money into a solution. It’s good PR anyway

This isn't the thread for your hot takes on police unions, antifa, and anita.

There's a thread for that @Trey3216

It can be the thread for making jokes about sexing a woman hit with a rubber billet though, right?  Sometime I get confused as to what is frowned upon or actively encouraged.

5 plus years ago I read it, so the research is probably 10+ years ago.

Duly noted.  I didn’t throw any hot takes about ANTIFA that weren’t a reply to “if it’s them, then they should be fucked”.   I lost money on the Santa Anita races yesterday, but have nothing to discuss about Anita, or South Austin’s mom this evening.   
 

the police union shake was just an idea I was throwing out there, and I gotcha on forum placement.  But this thread is and has been beyond anti-political from the chute.   I was honestly trying to throw out an idea that could be a way to make shit better.  But I hear you, and whomever decided to report me.

Yes, that's part of what makes these threads so good.

Two dipshits arguing about police unions and their opinions about them does not

No one reported you, I'm reading the thread

Admittedly I've only scanned 2 or 3 pages. Can't read all this, 'cause I'm at work ... but I'm surprised there's not more talk here about the protests here in Austin - like blocking IH35 downtown. 

That was from some weird incident earlier today.

Quote

AUSTIN, Texas (KXAN) — Austin Police shut down all northbound lanes of Interstate 35 in Downtown Austin earlier today, due to the crash of an economy car.  Multiple calls came in from drivers who said a person was allowing their dog to drive their economy car as they left from a protest they had attended earlier in the day.  Police attempted to pull the economy car and its canine driver over, and were then led on a chase that sometimes topped speeds of 15 miles per hour.  Due to the low speeds and the fact that I-35 normally doesn't move much at that time of day, police had plenty of time to lay strips of spikes across the highway.

After the vehicle ran over the spikes, it was brought to a halt near an exit ramp.  A dog was seen jumping out of the driver's side window, with a person wearing an N95 mask for protection against the Covid virus, exiting out of the passenger side of the vehicle screaming "Luna, don't let my Luna get hit, please, Luna is my everything now that you've taken my economy car."

Police were unable to capture the human passenger or the dog, as they blended in with protestors under the bridge, but they did find the passenger''s cell phone in the car, and believe that he was posting on a local sports forum while his dog was driving.

Agree with everything wholeheartedly except for the 5 years requirement to be issued a handgun. If one can’t demonstrate the ability to handle the responsibility of carrying a firearm out of the academy, he/she should not be allowed to become a police officer. Emphasis should be placed on screening applicants and thoroughly evaluating their aptitude during training.

Just remember this: If you’re cheering for the rioters and looters, you’re on the wrong side of history. 

Some of my daughter’s classmates (hs juniors) were in downtown Dallas today and were culled away from the main crowd, pepper sprayed, and lit up w rubber bullets. Those fuckers deserve all they get and then some

That'll be great when the overpass collapses due to heat stress.  

Will take a lot more than that.  Only seen it happen twice (philly and Atlanta) and both were piles of thousands of tires set ablaze.

Why the fuck would anyone let high school kids go down there? I understand the sentiment, but that shit ain't safe.
