vains posted:it should be relatively uninvolved to just make a national ID, run it through state DMV offices, and provide some funding to make it all happen without loving over old people who dont drive. A national shall-issue, government funded voter card would be relatively easy, I agree. But holy loving laughing my dick off if you think the GOP would support that, especially without putting a bunch of poisonous requirements in there.

CS sucks when they make you do push-ups and work out and poo poo in the CS room. If someone shoots CS at you, I recommend it not be in a small room while you do calisthenics. Also don’t shoot unarmed people without reason.

Yeah, I'd say verbal orders, then tazer, then having to shoot when the suspect pulls a gun on you counts as pretty reasonable  Good job, cops, in this case for not being dead and also for not shooting someone without cause!

Godholio posted:If the guy got shots off, then IMO the cops were late. That's a pretty impossible standard to put on cops. "Always shoot first, but only if you know the person is a threat" requires X-Ray vision, Spidey senses, and a host of other super powers. It would also imply that in literally every active shooter scenario, the cops were "late" and that's a really pointless standard to set in a world where the pre-crime unit is science fiction.

Dead Reckoning posted:You're the one who thinks the cops should have to verify that the erratic suspect who they were told was armed has in fact pulled out a gun and not a wallet or cell phone. I don't think absolute knowledge should be a requirement, merely a reasonable perception of imminent danger based on the totality of the circumstances. This is a statement that in no ways whatsoever addresses what I said.

Godholio posted:Not the officer's primary concern, nor should it be. The crux of my argument is that if it's impossible for an officer to properly identify a real, clear, and present lethal threat and react accordingly, why should we be allowing them to identify and shoot people based on unclear, not-present threats? You can't really have it both ways where cops aren't good enough to shoot when there's a threat, but they're plenty good enough to shoot before they have even identified a threat. And while I am reluctant to make any direct military to police comparisons, because of some clear differences, I feel that in both jobs, when people volunteer for them, they sign up for some danger and potentially disadvantageous ROE. It's all rather situational though. There are certainly some cases of unarmed people getting killed by cops where I'll say "poo poo sucks" without damning the cop. If someone goes out there to suicide by cop and intentionally misleads cops into thinking they're armed just to suddenly lunge at a cop and get gunned down, I got it. If a cop is rushing into an active shooter scenario and shooting in good faith, but an errant round hits an innocent person, or the cop misidentifies a good samaritan with a gun, those are tragedies and part of living in society. If someone is, say, crawling around on the ground crying while a cop with a rifle demands that they crawl toward them while their pants fall down and then the cop flips out and shoots them, gently caress that cop, he was in a position to positively ID a threat before shooting. If someone is not complying but not a clear life/limb/eyesight danger, that should not be grounds to kill them.

SimonCat posted:A standing army is provided for in the Constitution. You just have to re-fund the Army every 2 years. It's not unconstitutional, but not explicitly a standing army, no. The constitution says congress will maintain a navy. It will raise and support armies. It sure looks like the initial idea was not having big standing armies on a permanent basis, but that rapidly went away in practice.
