Oh my gosh. How scary. One drunk man with a taser versus two cops that each have guns. I'm shuddering just thinking about it.

Suspect in killing of 2 Bay Area officers tied to right-wing ‘boogaloo’ group, prosecutors allege
https://www.latimes.com/california/s...ederal-officerQuote:
On Tuesday, federal law enforcement officials announced that they were charging Air Force Sgt. Steven Carrillo, 32, the alleged owner of that vest, and suspected accomplice Robert A. Justus Jr., 30, of Millbrae in the May 29 shooting death of a federal security officer in Oakland.
Officials said Carrillo, who also faces state charges in the June 6 killing of a Santa Cruz sheriff’s deputy, was a follower of the “boogaloo” movement, which a federal complaint said is not a fixed group but includes people who identify themselves as militia and target perceived government tyranny.
Justus’ social media posts also show support for boogaloo memes. One post reviewed by the Times names people who have been killed by law enforcement, including Oscar Grant, shot by transit police at Oakland’s Fruitvale station in 2009, and Vicki Weaver, wife of white supremacist Randy Weaver, killed by an FBI sniper during the 1992 Ruby Ridge siege in Idaho.
The federal government charged Carrillo with killing federal security officer David Patrick Underwood, 53, a resident of the small East Bay city of Pinole, and the attempted murder of Underwood’s partner. The charges qualify for the death penalty, but officials said no decision has yet been made on whether to seek it. Justus is charged with aiding Carrillo in the killing and attempted killing.
The security officers were shot while guarding a federal building in downtown Oakland during a protest over the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer. The pair used the protest as a cover for their plans to attack law enforcement, said FBI Special Agent In Charge Jack Bennett.
“There is no evidence that these men had any intention to join the demonstration in Oakland,” Bennett said at a Tuesday news conference. “They came to Oakland to kill cops.”
Thanks man. Appreciate your viewQuote:

this is what police officers are aware of, people with an intent to kill them.

wanting police reform with better training along with other things, is good. but lets not pretend what is going on is one sided and the police are the only people in fault.
police officers being murdered doesn't make the news as often because it can't be used for an agenda or ratings/clicks, but that is happening too and it should also be unacceptable.
this is why when the police see someone that has stolen a taser they are prepared to act if necessary.
We should just replace all the police. How hard could that be???
Everyone here knows exactly what to do and how to do it. They obviously have the nerve to do the job. They all have "what it takes."
So how hard would it be to find a few hundred thousand replacements. Little extra training. Sprinkle in a few social workers.
Should be a snap.
question: what is it that people want to see happen?
what changes do you realistically want from police?
stop choke holds? ok.
here is more about the Executive Order from Trump.

PASTOR DARRELL SCOTT: President Trump Is Leading Through Action On Police Reform
Quote:
The administration is also ensuring that proper resources are allocated to mental health professionals to act as co-responders in order to assist officers as they respond to emergencies. Under President Trump’s executive order, law enforcement will receive the assistance they need to handle all situations they may face without losing any of their much-needed funding.
President Trump has worked across the aisle to enact police reform that benefits everyone, meeting with black leaders, law enforcement officials and those who have lost loved ones in these totally avoidable tragedies. No American should fear an encounter with our law enforcement – those who serve as the defenders of peace.

Mr. Trump's order is shaped by three key components: credentialing and certifying police departments, boosting information-sharing to better track officers with excessive use-of-force complaints and creating services for addressing mental health, drug addiction and homelessness. But it doesn't make federal funding conditional to those reforms, but instead potentially prioritizes some grants for departments that meet all those guidelines.
The president emphasized he wants reform that doesn't compromise the authority and work of good police, and said the percentage of bad cops is "tiny." Mr. Trump said chokeholds should be off limits unless an officer's life is at risk.
this happens. people that are black/white/other point a gun at police. it shouldn't be controversial if/when they are shot.

Hispanic man dies after being shot by San Bernardino police officer
Quote:
An investigation is underway after a Hispanic man was shot and killed by a patrol officer with the San Bernardino Police Department Saturday evening, the SBPD announced in a post on Twitter.
Shortly before 8:30 p.m., the San Bernadino Police dispatch received a call about an adult white man waving a gun.
When officers arrived they found a "suspect matching the description" who was holding what appeared to be a black handgun in his hand, according to the SBPD post.
I'm offended that Betty Crocker makes all white women look like housewives. Get rid of her.Quote:

Are "small people" complaining about the Keebler elves yet???
the Jolly Green Giant has to go, for sure
remember when it was just a joke that we could no longer say 'mailman' because it was sexist? now they're postal workers.........what should we call manhole covers?
Defunding doesn't mean dismantling the police force. Instead of police answering mental help calls, as in a mentally unbalanced person acting out, use the police funds to hire more train social workers to handle it for example. We use the police to cover too many things they aren't qualified to handle. The homelessness, drug out addicts may be better handle by social workers like they are in Europe.Quote:

Special and Sluggo showing out extra hard today. Guess they’re getting nervous America doesn’t seem to agree with them right now.
I’ll bet the lawyers clamoring to get in on the ground floor of this lawsuit will have to take a number at the counter.Quote:
