And yet with all of this blustery bullshit, you didn't bother to answer the question.

Please source where full RIOT REGALIA is being utilized during routine policing.

You are the idiot who brought full RIOT REGALIA into the discussion of community policing and outreach. But hey, that may just me being pedantic. :rolleyes:

jesus christ

so what is this post then?

"community policing is like an occupying army"

"the only answer is more community policing"

you don't want to solve anything you just want to see more people get killed on TV, i doubt you even care what color they are

because I never said 'community policing is like an occupying army' EVER. Dude clearly does not know what community policing even is.

All I said is the cops in the photo in the OP look like an occupying army. Which they do.

community policing is not walking in with full RIOT regalia with no markings anywhere, idiot.
Which certainly looks like an implication that "full RIOT regalia with no markings anywhere" is the norm or even remotely common outside of protests/riots.

You seriously have brain damage, don't you? And yes, I have grown up in a family full of cops who actually walked beats back in the day. So yeah, I know what the gently caress it (community policing) is/means you pathetic forum warrior.

Maybe the thing for #BLM to do is organize themselves into an effective voting bloc and stump for candidates of their choosing who will make the systematic changes they want. Not on the national level where politicians are least involved with the day to day operation of law enforcement, but positions like the mayors, sherrifs, and judges that preside over the most affected communities.

lol like this is even possible

you can't win anything as a third party candidate and neither of the two major parties will even consider a candidate for any level that hasn't been playing the local politics game for years and years to prove that they are 100% status quo and have lots of connections to money

Here is what I said: "Community policing is good and we should do that to bridge the enmity between the community and the police. When the police look and act like occupying soldiers, it does 0 good."

then some other poster came in and said 'you just want to see people die because on the one hand you say community policing is good and on the other hand you say the cops in that photo are scary/militarized so what do you want?' on some idiot poo poo.

idk what your major malfunction is that you can't parse that. hell you can't even come up with an original diss you just mirror mine right back at me like you are 5.

And you implied that "full RIOT regalia with no markings anywhere" were being used for normal policing. Which it is certainly not. Unless you are equating duty during an event where they may likely be pelted with bricks, bottles and fireworks as the run of the mill day of policing.

No it's not at all an implication that that is the norm. I'm specifically referencing the situation that spawned this thread and the photo in the OP

The police's idea of community policing is at best driving through bad neighborhoods a little more slowly than usual

that's exactly what it is, also they will jump out of their cars and search anyone that looks at them or anyone that is riding a bicycle

Here's my grand unified theory of police pussification:

- We need community policing. Beat cops. Cops who interact with people. People who know the officers' names who are in their community.

- Less militarization of the police. Less adversarial attitudes between cops and civilians.

- Going into pissed off communities looking like they do in the OP's photo helps nothing at all whatsoever and only serves to create more distrust and fear. Cops 30-40 years ago managed to handle much more violent riots and situations without donning full suit blacked out armor and riding around in surplus armored military vehicles.

Shows how racist and hypocritical the GOP and the NRA are imo - white militias 'protecting' their property? Fine. Black people trying to patrol their neighborhoods? Haha NOPE NOPE NOPE pass gun control!!!

Too bad all their leadership got COINTELPRO'd

The NRA was not actually a gun rights organization prior to the membership revolting in the early 1990's. They represented hunters/law enforcement and approved of/sponsored essentially every major piece of federal gun control legislation prior to that. :ssh:

i'd add:

- end the federal government's promotion of "drug" arrests (no more checks from the DEA for arresting stoners)

- strong laws to discourage police administration from judging an individual officer's job performance based on number/type of arrests

- prohibition on transferring any equipment from DOD to police departments

That was when they began organizing politically, but as an organization they didn't really move to positions similar to what people think of the NRA as having "always had" until the late 80's/early 90's. They approached the 1986 FOPA from a very different perspective than the modern NRA would (largely because of the fallout of that and the Clinton administration's gun control initiatives).

I mean it's not like I'm some genius who is the only one that can see the flaws in the way things are done. It's just that there clearly isn't the political will or desire in these areas to do that, coupled with a bunch of idiots bleating about how 'everything is fine, blacks are just violent.'

We could cross those all out and replace them with
- Legalize all drugs and put production and distribution into government hands
- tax the hell out of them
- use the tax money (who am I kidding that taxes go for what they were originally purposed for) to have better health care and addiction assistance
