I feel like it's only a few that are causing 90% of the damage.
I also feel like you should always support those that are willing to put their life on the line for you.
Do we also need to support the ones that kill an innocent family of 4 in a high speed chase because of a guy that ran a red light and they refuse to just let the shit go and move on with their day? Comply with my authority or else.......right.

good point. Just lowered the flag everywhere to honor a Felon. Same exact respect shown to war heroes, dead presidents and Memorial Day.
Good Job North Carolina!

It was a tragic and unnecessary death, without question. Let’s leave it there.

The bigger problem is the socialist left taking advantage of the protestors.

Caroetbaggers, in a sense.

Really, socialist lefts????? You want me to post 2500Plus YouTube videos of people who couldn’t spell “Socialist Left” nor have a clue what that even means LOOTING and RIOTING during the “peaceful protests to honor a respectable man”.

Let’s leave it at this. Floyd was murdered. Horrible.
I’m so in touch with the community I’m absolutely outraged at the 7000 killed by their own.
Not the 10 killed by police last year.

Is NC still the south???
They are flying flags half mast for a multi offense Felon.
No shit. We have a weak ass governor. Never have I ever seen such insanity. The Low country of South Carolina may seem different now but it’s coming their way.

Virginia has let the protesters tear down a statue of Christopher Columbus. Wtf.

I live about a mile from there. They also got Maury the cartographer, whose famous quote was "Imagine, waking up one day and finding our country free of slavery!" Just a bunch of lulz

I have been an officer for over 20 years and will retire in a few months. I have seen such a change in my short time. I feel we have changed to a society that wants firemen cops. By this I mean they want you to come solve what where their problem is the go back to the pd and wait for the next call. People what a security not policeing.

Seems to me that no one can be held accountable for their own actions and outcome in life and they get pissed when someone points out that they did wrong.

Well most agencies will have bench marks, standards, or what they really are quotas. If you are just siting by the radio waiting for a call you will get one and it is from you boss saying get off you ass and do something. What is that? Go get into to some sh&@.

Well if you are good at getting into sh&@ you will break an egg or two.
Policing is a dirty business and it can be ugly. Sometimes you have to punch a person in the face, why are we surprised when the outcome is ugly.

I have never go to work wanting to hurt a person but I am prepared to kill a person everyday I go to work.

I want to help everyone I work for. I have gone so far out of my way to help my citizens and will always do that but I am in an ugly business and am prepared to deal wit that. What I hate is I know my community, agency, and government will not back me when I have to be ugly its on me.

my district attorney just came out saying he will not accept the support of any police officer or union. I take that as he will not support us either.

20yrs LEO, retired. Going to get burned here...
Overhall long overdue. Getting rid of bad apples has always been near impossible.
Training & pay to reflect reality of job & would cut half the cops I have seen.
LEO's have been carrying everyones water for them with little to no support.
Too many DICKS on forces. Too many Dicks period.

Glad I do not have to deal with assholes anymore. The Public ones & the co-worker ones.

Kind of a conundrum. Defund the police also defund their labor union.

Which is of course a factor in how a guy with more than 10 previous complaints is still on the job in a situation where he can needlessly kneel on a guys neck........

I hadn't thought about that until someone mentioned to me last week that its probably going to be a long time before the officers charged will be brought to trial because the prosecutors are going to need to build a really bulletproof case because the union is going to have the best lawyers money can buy and will be defending the officers at all expense... and I immediately thought "huh, kinda ironic..."

"defund the police" is the single stupidest phrase I've heard so far from the left, if their goal is to put their man in the white house. Political suicide and cannon fodder for the right wing who will beat them over the head with their own words, repeatedly.

Understaffed maybe but the budgets are crazy, crazy high in major cities. The property taxes in my neighborhood for a single family home START above 30k a year. There are times that there are no cops available to answer 911 calls. The budget for Chicago PD for 2020 is 1.8 Billion (with a B) give or take. There are 13,500 employees. Do the math and just imagine what sort of inefficient bullshit is going on with all that money. The budget for Chicago Public schools is 125 million (with an M), by the way, maybe if all these kids were getting awesome educations and there were great after school extracurricular activities after school there wouldn’t be a need for a 1.8 BILLION dollar budget for cops. Defund the Police sounds a lot more radical than it is.

I’m not going to check on other big cities but I bet that ratio of spending is common. We also shuttered most of the mental health facilities due to budget cuts...

"That means Chicago is planning to spend more than $600 per resident on policing in 2020"

Where do I pay my $600?
