Only 50%? This is looks strange to me because I read that many cold cases are now solved (or are going to be solved) thanks to new genealogical DNA testsThey don’t do a good job of policing and they solve less then 50% of the murders. Might want to try something different rather than continue the failure.![]()
Most of those are from cases where people didn't know about DNA tho
In 2020 every criminal knows what DNA is
For every case they solve that way there are many they can't. They've been doing swabs for it if you get arrested since i was a kid.
You know I didn't believe your statement as you didn't have the courtesy to back it up with a source.Very few in power want to "defund" the cops. Even the Mayor of Minneapolis and the Mayor of St Paul have backtracked on this one. It's about police REFORM and TRAINING. It's about ridding departments of bad apples.
This Trump Law & Order BS is a non-starter.
You wrote "Ridding bad apples"... How many "bad apples" are there? Define a "bad apple". At what point does
a cop become a "bad apple"?
Derek Chauvin, a 19-year department veteran who was the subject of at least a dozen police conduct complaints that resulted in no disciplinary action and one that led to a "letter of reprimand." The officer, who was praised for valor during his career, also once fired his weapon during an encounter with a suspect, records show.
Was he a "bad apple" after 19 years and no disciplinary actions from 12 conduct complaints? Or should he have been mustered out as a "bad apple" the FIRST time? Is that what "people" want... Jesus figures as COPS i.e. a perfect person?![]()
Minneapolis police officer at center of George Floyd's death had history of complaints
Derek Chauvin had been with the Minneapolis police since 2001. During his career, he was the subject of over a dozen police conduct complaints.www.nbcnews.com
I'm just not convinced there are enough "Jesus" type people that can become the "PERFECT" cop. To totally without logic or rational thought "defund" the police is worse than what Chauvin did. Talk about "innocent" people dying!
Considering the fact his wife left him the moment he was locked up....Seems pretty obvious
Also police have a 40% domestic violence rate lol
So just by that one metric alone just under half are bad apples.
But you are right...https://kutv.com/news/local/40-of-police-officer-families-experience-domestic-violence-study-says
That % is valid. BUT then I did a little more research and found that
every year..10 million people have domestic violence. SO does that make 40% bad apples...?
- On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men.1
- 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner. This includes a range of behaviors (e.g. slapping, shoving,
Again the difference between you and me is I deal with reality.![]()
NCADV | National Coalition Against Domestic Violence
NCADV is the voice of victims and survivors. We are the catalyst for changing society to have zero tolerance for domestic violence. We do this by affecting public policy, increasing understanding of the impact of domestic violence, and providing programs and education that drive that change.www.ncadv.org
We can't fire 40% of cops because Domestic violence when 10 million people have domestic violence per year!
But the solution is NOT ridding"bad apples" but clearly paying more for "GOOD apples" AND educating people like you NOT to jump to conclusions based on the really biased MSM presentations! Remember the MSM ONLY makes money when you respond to BAD news... i.e. Floyd shooting... bad news... Officer Dorn, black cop for 30 years killed.. bad news but NOT enough to equal the criminal Floyd's resistance death.
Domestic violence incidents (aside from murder or severe beatings) can be handled by mental health and/or women't protection services. Cops might have to deal with 10% of these.
EMT's can handle other emergencies. Fire department can handle fires.
PS: Do you think a black man's life is worth more than 20 bucks.
Domestic violence cases are the most dangerous for cops....
People keep their guns and other weapons at home
Most of the time Americans will run from police if possible, very few will stand and fight unless they're at home.
Which is why we send armed police everywhere. We're going to send in social workers like sacrificial lambs when we let cops do whatever to protect their own miserable lives? That's absurd on the face of it
If some asshole is threatening his wife with a gun, then of course a GOOD cop with a badge and a gun will be required. These cases are rare. Most are arguments.
But what if he's not at that moment
Then when he realizes the she's called teh cops he escalates....Which is why these situations are so dangerous
You're sending people into one of the most emotionally charged situations cops walk into. Where tehy keep all their weapons. If you're ever gonna take irrational pot shots at cops it's during a domestic dispute
