OT: It's not about Justice, it's about Anarchy

Trying to reason with the radical left can be difficult, trying to reason with the radical right gets you shot, stabbed, suffocated, burned, run over by a vehicle, blown up, tortured, hanged...

Build a wall around Trump and ask Mexico to pay for half.

A much cheaper option. They might well go for it.

This does seem to be a reaction to my post, but omni has snipped out all my content, including the paragraph that presumably prompted it

and don't have that kind of bad attitude - but fringe politicians do like d ramatic, if unrealistic proposals. Trump's wall along the Mexican border is exactly the same kind of fatuous over reach.

He has also snipped my entry from the thread history at the top of the post .

Maybe he wanted Cursitor Doom to read it?

"Julius Streicher's final declaration before the hood went over his head was, 'The Bolsheviks will sit on your head and suffocate you all one day!'"

Ok I'll take my chances, dickwad. Ka-chunk!

Or alternatively, years of experience lead them to treat different individuals according to how other offenders of the same kind or class have behaved previously. Coppers inevitably develop a 'nose' for how different categories of offender typically behave with every passing year in the job.

If only there were a police officer with 500 years of job experience, he could predict the future with 99% accuracy and they could arrest people before they'd committed the crime they were planning to. Saves time that way.

rtment would be contemplating doing without a police force of any kind, bu t it could be argued that firing in everybody in the existing department an d hiring a new bunch of cops - after carefully vetting all of them for bad attitudes - is the only way of reliably getting rid of ingrained bad attitu des and institutionalised racism.

o ingrained attitudes, but after years of dealing with the dregs of society , some police will acquire bad attitudes.

Sadly, even crooks aren't interchangable examples of their particular class (by which Cursitor Doom probably wants us to understand race).

One-size-fits-all treatment is the source of a lot of the problems that pol ice run into (and create).

der typically behave with every passing year in the job.

Which is to say they develop a set of rough guidelines that work most of th e time. It's called prejudice, and goes spectacularly wrong from time to ti me.

Have you ever inherited a project that was so fouled up that the best way to fix it is to chuck everything away and start again?

It's not only technology that has that problem:

Other countries manage police forces that have far fewer and less serious problems. I'm sure the USA can too... but fixing the current one? Probably not the best way to go about things.

CH

I believe Eliot Ness recognised the problem and had a solution. Pick the good apples before they are put in the barrel and go rotten.

Fortunately my information is Nth hand, but isn't it the case that federal prisons are the "best", state less good, and you don't want to be in a local prison?

The death of Breonna Taylor was definitely Keystone Cops material, a forced-entry search warrant looking for suspects who were already in police custody:

In any other industry department heads or CEOs would be expected to resign if their subordinates engaged in that level of incompetence.

OK, sour-grape the parties that you're not invited to.

Do you have any fun?

It's Trumps economic policy, but I agree with your assesment.

It's a false dichotomy.

Still more bullshit:

Failed. Communist, Both. Communist.

They always leave Nazi Germany out of the list of most catastrophic failed socialist experiments.

That is to say, the right-libertarians are the "big thinkers." The Limousine conservative. They make the intellectual arguments.

When intellectual arguments fail to be persuasive you need the other fashion of right-winger to step in. The hired goons. The muscle to smash heads break stuff and kill people. "Maybe you find my arguments to liberty persuasive now?"

They get along because they disagree on who the useful idiots are.

LOL!

Even so it tends to be an unhappy marriage at the best of times. Wait n see.

It is *not* Trump's policy. It's the Fed's and it's been going on in astronomical quantities since 2007. It's truly remarkable that the dollar has any purchasing value left at all.
