Yeah, that is a profession that has historically (and still is) been perverted and used for political purposes to the detriment of entire populations.Its always about money.The job, like many, is often too demanding when the training budget can’t keep up with public expectations. For a simple example, a small town that doesn’t have access to a town or licensed kennel or trained animal control officer, has to handle dog or wild animal complaints with an unqualified rookie ? . The list goes on when budgets don’t keep up with expectations.Things are changing; they're getting worse.Not going to get that training with all these fucktards running around screaming to defund the police.I hope this statement does not imply you’re willing to use a weapon to prevent an arrest that YOU think is illegal. You’re fking ass is grass if you start think that way. Stop repeating this bogus shit. The police are public servants there to protect everyone. If they screw up, file charges and someone will arrest their ass and charge them. It’s not your job to be a vigilantly. .You miss the point. Who are “you” to determine what an illegal arrest is. That an arrest is illegal because the charges were dropped is a false argument.No, I mean it is unlawful to resist even an illegal arrest.It is in Texas.You’d better not take that advice. Resisting arrest is itself a crime. FU and your second amendment. It has no place when it comes to a cop performing his duty. You’d better not resist by producing a weapon. Terrible post. The time to resist any arrest is by filing a complaint or instituting a suit after the fact. You’re giving stupid advice.do have a right to resist an unlawful arrest. Before long everyone will understand that. Its why the founders incorporated the 2nd Amendment.
Resisting an illegal arrest is not a crime. Yes forever the cops would arrest you for that but when we have proof that the arrest was not lawful the charges get dropped. We are going to stop that practice. The cops are going to learn what they can and what they can not do or they are going to continue to lose their jobs.
Poor people can not afford to file lawsuits. I have never understood those who believe that paying people millions and millions dollars a year in settlements is a better system than proper police training.
I agree that's bullshit, but it is a law here.
It can't be. There is NO law that states that I have to have I.D. on me.
I think that's bullshit personally, but that's the way the law is written.
How are you going to resist ? Physically or with a weapon ? That is a crime itself.
That is why the founders created the 2nd. To protect ourselves from the government. Was Bundy found to be not guilty?
Bundy followers found not guilty at Nevada trial: newspaper
Someone should have stopped Officer Cauvin.
I will note that what we are seeing that are finally getting cops arrested and fired went on for decades with nothing done. There are still people fighting something getting done. There are still officers not being held accountable.
For some they can not file a lawsuit because they are dead. Proper training is less expensive that lawsuits.
I agree with Jocko that if a cop works 5 days a week, one of those days should be spent doing training. And I mean real force-on-force scenario based training with attorneys reviewing it so they can actually learn how to do it within the bounds of the law, not dumbassed diversity training bullshit.
Yes, things are changing. You can tell yourself if isn't to make yourself feel better but the change will continue anyway.
The good cops are retiring, moving to smaller cities in more rural areas where they are supported, or they are just plain quitting. Who do you think is getting hired to replace them?
It ain't anyone you want to have police powers, I'll tell you that.
All these people yelling defund the police? They got a plan in mind for where that money will go if not to the police....... they sure as hell aren't thinking of giving it back to the taxpayers. Someone's got a long game going on, and I don't think the end result is to make any of us wealthier, safer, or happier.
No it's not going back. Its going to go to do things like hire mental health professionals.

Red Flag Laws, or, How To Repeal The Second Amendment Soviet-Style Without A Pesky Vote
“Now, you see all these red flags? Trouble spots. Southeastern Asia. The Caribbean. The Congo. I’ll give you one guess as to who’s responsible.” – Doctor Goldfoot and the Bikini Ma…wilderwealthywise.com
"Examples of political abuse of psychiatry? There are many. When I mentioned this topic to The Mrs., she immediately said, “the Soviet Union.” And that’s the example I thought of first, too. The Soviets systematically used diagnosis of psychological disorders such as “philosophical intoxication” and “sluggish schizophrenia” to put people who didn’t like Marxism into mental institutions. And, no, those diagnoses aren’t lame jokes – those were really Soviet-era diagnoses.
How many were caught up in the psychological gulags?
We really don’t know since those records are still secret, but in 1978 at least 4.5 million Soviet citizens were listed as having mental health problems. In 1988, perhaps thinking that they might face their own version of Soviet Nuremburg Trials for Crimes Against Humanity, Soviet leaders had over 800,000 thousand patients removed from the list of the mentally ill. Paperwork error, surely?
Did the Soviets condemn thousands with false diagnosis? Nearly certainly. Hundreds of thousands? Very likely.
Millions?
Probably. Think of it, millions of people falsely diagnosed with a mental illness due to political beliefs and sent to asylums and work camps. Certainly some were executed.
Okay, it was just the Soviet Union, right?
No. Cuba did the same thing. There is evidence that China is still doing it, and likely on scale similar to that of the Soviet Union. Thankfully the World Psychiatric Association took the lead in investigations. Oh, they didn’t? The World Psychiatric Association pretty much ignored it and said that people associated with Falun Gong are nuts and that putting them in asylums run by the state security apparatus (not the medical directorate) was perfectly normal?

One flew east, one flew west, one flew over the cuckoo’s nest . . . and if you haven’t see the movie, you should, it’s a lighthearted comedy and perfect for a first date.
Okay, that’s just China. Thankfully this would never happen in the United States.
Oh, it did?
Sure. In the 1920’s dissidents (like one who protested the trial of Sacco and Vanzetti) were put into asylums. In the 1960’s members of the American Psychological Association smeared presidential candidate Barry Goldwater in the press by diagnosing him. But that wasn’t political, right?
Thankfully it isn’t happening now.
Oh, in 2012 a whistleblower with the NYPD was railroaded on mental health? Ouch. But New York is corrupt.
It would never happen based on political motives, right?
Dinesh D’Souza, author and filmmaker on the Right was convicted of a crime based on giving too much money to a political campaign. He admitted he was wrong. The Federal Judge involved in the case sentenced D’Souza not only to prison, he sentenced D’Souza to years of mental health counselling despite a licensed psychologist saying that D’Souza was just fine mentally.
So, yes. Psychiatry is a political weapon. It’s not like the Left has sentenced political opponents to chemotherapy, but I hear that they’re working on it."
A man who police say took a gun into the Vienna Volunteer Fire Department surrenders peacefully.
Dispatchers got the call at 5:36 p.m. Tuesday. The caller was a part of the Vienna Volunteer Fire Department’s Women’s Auxiliary. They were scheduled to have a meeting there during that time. Members of the auxiliary ran after the Gary Clark made threats with the gun.
Vienna Police and Wood County Sheriff’s deputies arrived and formed a perimeter. Also responding to the scene were officers from the Parkersburg Police Department and personnel from the Wood County 911 center (Mobile Command Unit).
A crisis negotiator from the Parkersburg Police Department was able to make contact with Clark. He made statements to the negotiator about using a gun to provoke a response from law enforcement. Clark agreed to leave the Vienna Volunteer Fire Department peacefully right before 8:00 p.m. Clark was then taken into custody without any further problems.
Clark is charged with making threats to commit a terrorist act, which is a felony. If he’s convicted, it holds a penalty of 1-3 years in a state correctional facility. His arraignment is scheduled for 10:00 p.m. 9/08/2020. He is 71 years-old and from Liverpool, West Virginia.
UPDATE: Suspect who was at the center of a swat standoff in Vienna appears in court.
Professionals can do better than cops with no patience.
