The Outrage Thread

[armadillooutlaw]

I’m really not sure more money is the answer to weeding out bias in the policing profession. Of course more money is good for retaining good policemen (and women) but I think the psyche of a person that is drawn to this profession is the primary factor that is the most compelling. Some want to be in law enforcement because they think they can make a difference or they are seeking the power trip. Either can be very good law enforcement officers. The factor however that is a taboo to either motive for becoming a policemen is whether there is a racial bias dwelling in their make up. More money won’t solve this problem.

Somewhere in the initial interviewing process all the way to the training system there needs to be a process for detecting this bias. If and when it seems conclusive then the career is terminated for cause. There also needs to be a ruling devised for legal systems that allows and protects the diligence process even though actual overt bias actions were never exhibited. Finally the system of processing and training needs to have a process to detect whether the training phase actually changed the mentality of the candidate and allows them to continue their pursuit.

So, an officer having a racial bias is a red flag (certainly) but seeking a power trip isn't a red flag?
I'd argue that the power trip element is by far the worst problem since there are plenty of examples of cops abusing their power towards all racial groups. White skin certainly is no deterrent to a power-nut with a badge; just ask the 75yo in Buffalo who was pushed down by law enforcement and was out cold upon impact.
There is certainly race-motivated abuse in law enforcement but the key element with MOST police brutality cases (where it truly is a case of brutality) is power-tripping nutcases, IMO.

Not as far as detecting racial bias. The Barney Fife syndrome as I call it is more tied in trying to impress and swell the chest of being a cop. Abusing power toward racial bias is something that I perceive is tied to someone who would be provoked at the slightest thing and abuse the person anyway. Pride and feeling power doesn’t have to be a bad thing. The abuse of same however would an added layer. Ole Barney just wanted to strut and flash his badge.

doubtful. Murray isn't an outspoken lib.

I love Bill Murray, here's a great movie to watch:

Because I’m in charge of the Mexican police... you’re such a wanker, but say everything with bravado and you’re golden

not trying waide into the middle of this spat but I do have a question, what do you mean "you're charge of the Mexican Police"?

Is that a joke, if not, can you tell us about what you do (in Mexico)?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Money isn't the issue. Police unions protecting bad cops is the issue. These power starved officers are kept around time after time after complaints of brutality. We see stuff about it all the time. Shit the white officer who killed Floyd had a long history of it. Dude should have been booted a long time ago but I'm sure the police Union put a stop to it.

It's not hard to see a bad officer from a mile away but these guys never lose their jobs or just move jurisdictions and get a new one.

Nodick cries that how dare I say something could be improved regarding USA cops when the Mexican police is complete shit. So I guess he thinks I’m in charge of the Mexican police and it’s my decisions that has them be complete shit. Otherwise I don’t understand what the Mexican police has anything to do with my opinion.

This is exactly right.

This is what I'm talking about. If you don't draw the line somewhere, of course they're only going to keep asking for more.

Wait. Now were talking about being in charge of the police forces?



God damn. Either your comprehension abilities are at the level of a 6 year old water head, or you really are truly stupid. Probably a little of both.

I heard Roger Goodell’s stupid ass came out and apologized for the NFL’s stance on protesting the National Anthem.

I'd bet most of those white kids are antifa, Austin isn't like the rest of Texas.

He did, I can't wait until some team is made to offer Kaep a contract. I'm betting they do it to the Jaguars. And good luck to them when he sucks ass, they will not be allowed to bench him
