    The police causes more death than the military. And until that changes, we are free to reduce the equipment and revise the training they should get.

    There’s no good reason for a plumber to have c4. And there is no good reason for police to have armored vehicles. It’s not a building, it’s just pipes, and it’s not a warzone (before the police arrive), it’s a city.

    Oh yeah and we can absolutely expect police handle lethal encounters. It’s a unique job with unique issues and if you can’t handle that, get out. You don’t get to cosplay military just because you feel too weak inside.











  • Specifically in rescue swimmer training they will teach you to push the drowning person away if they grab onto you the wrong way, otherwise you will be drowning too. You basically need to force them into the right hold, because they are acting solely on survival reflexes and those entail grabbing something and pulling yourself up out of the water, which might sink whatever they are holding onto.

    then they came for the civilians. And I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a civilian.

    Yeah Thomas Mann’s poem is still relevant and more people need to read it and understand it.

    If you “only follow commands”, you are still implicated in every action. If you are a cop you are literally one of the checks in the system of checks and balances.
