My Imaginary GF posted:How? Not really a topic I've focused on, I'm a transportation economist. Could definitely offer advice on adjusting incentive structures for traffic stops based on what actually causes road unsafety, which... isn't really the current topic of discussion. "More reliable punishments for undue/excessive use of violence" isn't a terrible idea, though, and does have the advantage that the Internal Affairs infiltrators and investigators have their own promotion incentives!

Investigations take time, though, and it seems as if these BLM activists want action now, now, now, rather than waiting for information to be more clear. They're hostile towards the police, and what officer of the law wants to charge into a hostile crowd of activists to respond to reports of "shots fired"? Some of those activists have known gang affiliations; how can police respond to a shooting against some individuals who may have known gang affiliations, without doing so in a way which would antagonize the hostile activists should those reports turn out to be baseless?

Known gang affiliations in the same way every black man in my neighborhood has "known gang affiliations" but good to see Chicago in favor of the illegal abuse and surveillance of protestors. Again.

If anything, we should be commending the officers of that precinct for their restrained response. It's the response that those BLM activists are asking for, right? For police to not take brash action and charge into a crowd of hostile activists with loosened RoE?

My Imaginary GF posted:Investigations take time, though, and it seems as if these BLM activists want action now, now, now, rather than waiting for information to be more clear. Tamir Rice's investigation has been ongoing for a year. Perhaps the agitation for immediate action is because there seems to be an alleged propensity for police forces to sweep such incidents under the rug, while incidents where the police are the victims are pursued relentlessly. My Imaginary GF posted:They're hostile towards the police, and what officer of the law wants to charge into a hostile crowd of activists to respond to reports of "shots fired"? Some of those activists have known gang affiliations; how can police respond to a shooting against some individuals who may have known gang affiliations, without doing so in a way which would antagonize the hostile activists should those reports turn out to be baseless? They could start by doing their jobs and not shooting unarmed black men. That seems to be a major issue.

And the only reason people turn to cops when crimes are committed is because they are the only ones given leniency by the state to apprehend and stop those who committed the crime without major repercussions. If they fail to provide this service, vigilante justice and outright rebellion against the state becomes a reasonable course of action.

Raerlynn posted:They could start by doing their jobs and not shooting unarmed black men. That seems to be a major issue. They did just that in response to the unconfirmed mumblings of shots fired, and how did the BLM activists feel about it? Did they thank the police for their restrained response? Nope, they responded like activists: angry at everything with no solutions. Inferior Third Season posted:That's what they agreed to when they clocked in that morning, and were willing to take a day's salary from the taxpayers. Now you sound like one of those cranky geriatrics at the DMV. "I pay your salary! You work for me!"

You're usually better than this, but this fact you keep inserting the "loose rules of engagement", which is in fact the point of the protest. The presence of black people, even more than one, doesn't make this a war zone.

It's a bit difficult to check on something for which limited information exists, and by which a hostile crowd is rallied around. What if those reports turned out untrue? Would that have not needlessly antagonized the crowd?

His latest campaign stop resulted in a BLM heckler being taken down and kicked, punched and stepped on.
