super nailgun posted:I wonder which PD will be the first to adopt the use of FPV drones to 'neutralize' armed suspects who are barricaded in buildings. There have already been a few misused bomb disposal bots, but someone in a procurement department is absolutely paying attention to the news out of Ukraine and making some calls to get a more purpose built solution. philly simply used a helicopter

Yeah, the police department is so understaffed that when there was an abandoned car blocking the street near my apartment last week, they were only able to send out three cruisers and like seven or eight cops to stand around until the tow truck left.

I bet six of those cops were making like $150/hr in overtime

The entire state of New Jersey's budget for FY2024 is $54.5b. The NYPD's budget (that we know about) for the same time period is $5.44b.

america is so capitalismpilled that a lot of people have straight-up forgotten that the government can offer services other than cops. like they're not even opposed to those services existing, they just have forgotten that you could totally have, say, government-run daycare or whatever

The answer to crime is always more cops and when the crime doesn't go down you just haven't added enough cops or armed them well enough or let them violate your privacy enough I'm actually kind of shocked we haven't seen more vicious attacks on stuff like CAHOOTS and other inspired programs from people. https://whitebirdclinic.org/cahoots/

raminasi posted:the port authority bus terminal in manhattan already has camo dudes with long guns standing around. idk whether they're national guard or state cops or locals or whatever but it's weird as hell to have them there. one time i was bored while waiting for a train (at the oculus, not PA) and started chatting up the two troops that were just standing around there. one was a member of the NY state army/militia and the other was NY national guard

The wheel falling off is not a Boeing problem. That's just the maintenance guys not doing their job properly.

This is why you never see any white male postal workers ever. I get how people can get fash over FBI crime statistics and what they see on the evening news but I've always been mystified how fash media can roll out memes and talking points that directly contradict every day observations and people still buy it. Or how these things have managed to pump out doom and gloom predictions about the future that never come to pass and never question if they should stop listening. When I was a kid I knew a bunch of kids from the local private school (no busing black kids!) were all taking Spanish because the AM radio was telling their parents we'd all be speaking Spanish by y2k and yet so many of them still took up their parent's ridiculous politics 20 years later. No comprende.
