  What police have to deal with

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  so, the actions of cops have come under scrutiny in recent days, what with the trial of derek chauvin and the death of daunte wright.

  i certainly hope justice is served in both those cases.. what is easy for people to forget, is just what police officers have to deal with on a regular basis, during their interactions with citizens.. here's a video breaking down one such interaction.. a car owner was driving his car but the tags weren't legally displayed.

  cops wanted him to pull over but the driver continued driving for a mile and a half with a police car following with sirens and lights.

  That's because of all the Muslim immigrants and the rape culture they brought with them.

  Are You Confident With Covid Vaccines and What Officials Say Is The Right Thing To Do?

  most of my friends have gotten the vaccines and are quite confident that it’s just what the doctor ordered.

  i’m not confident with dr. fauci.

  i don’t like the fact that the makers of the vaccines are not held responsible if someone taking the vac develops an illness or even death.

  Just saw a great analogy as to that is going on with the Vaccines:

  The "health experts" are effectively playing the Trolley Problem, but choosing to flick the switch and have the runaway trolley run over and kill thousands all to save one person.

  They need to do a much better job at presenting the facts and the risks.

  Right now they are blowing it big time.

  Whatever happened to "trust the science, follow the data"?

  Derek Chauvin - The Right to a Fair Trial

  anyone following the derek chauvin trial?.

  if you are actually following it, not just listening to the media, you will likely realize that there is a huge gap between what is going on in court and what is being reported in the media.. if the trial was fair, i think he should be acquitted.

  there is plenty of reasonable doubt about the cause of death (his dealer doesn't want to testify because he could be guilty of 3rd degree murder for selling him a fatal amount of fentanyl) and even doubt over whether the officer even had his knee on the guys neck or did anything counter to what they were meant to do as per policy.. but is it fair?

  I hope it is sarcasm. I see nothing wrong with "driving overly cautiously and under-the-limit."

  Why would it be?

  People who drive over-cautiously can easily cause accidents.

  When you have right of way, take it, don't hesitate. Don't imagine it's "safer" driving at 80 Kph when other traffic expects you to be going 110 Kph, it isn't.

  It's a tragic outcome but Daunte Wright had previous (can't remember the exact details)

  Choking a woman in a robbery.

  A part the media conveniently leave out when they do their "poor innocent saint" routine

  The guy who recently jumped back in the car and got himself shot did it to himself.

  Accident? Should have been a taser? They should have been shooting his ass full of lead anyway. He could easily have dragged someone to their death.

  The whole "police just shoot at us" claim is pure BS

  The Difference Between Doctors & Nurses and Police?

  what is the difference between doctors & nurses, and police?.

  studies have estimated that medical errors cause 250,000 deaths per year in the us.. police only kill around a thousand people each year in total, with only a small number being unjustified or accidental.. so the difference?.

  police are expected to be perfect and for all the hype, you're are far greater risk of being killed by someone in the health industry than by a cop.

  If you don't like or trust your doctor, you can get a different one.

  So all those victims who were killed by their mistakes were just stupid and it was their own fault?

  Here's how stark the difference is between the professions:

  There have been multiple cases of serial killers hiding within the medical industry, people who have killed significant numbers of people (in the high double-digits). They used the medical industry as cover for their killing.

  The only serial killers I can think of who were cops were ex-cops when they killed. I think it would stand out if an on-duty cop had multiple interactions where people died.

  Police are expected to be perfect and for all the hype, you're are far greater risk of being killed by someone in the health industry than by a cop. If you don't point guns at them or resist arrest, your chance of death-by-cop drops to practically zero.

  How come cops have to "Serve and Protect" and not be expected to ever make a mistake, and to be held accountable for those mistakes, when medical stall get to "Bury and Forget" and all that happens is compensation is paid?

  Yeah, I always drive at or slightly over the speed limit if there is a cop behind me late at night - nothing screams "stop me, I'm guilty!" more than driving overly cautiously and under-the-limit when there is no need.

  What is 30 million divided by 500000 deaths? The ratio is pretty much consistent around the developed world. It’s actually worse in places like Mexico and Brazil.

  So what is your angle then?

  My "angle" is using accurate language and statistics.

  You say one thing and then measure another. Specifically, you talk about the Infection Fatality Rate ("Covid kills about 3 out of every 100 people that get it") but then give Case Fatality Rate figures (more like "how many people admitted to hospital with it die").

  https://ourworldindata.org/mortality-risk-covid

  The CFR figures were higher early on and have come down dramatically as the healthcare industry stopped killing people and "Cuomo's death rampage ran out of victims" or at least, those living longer due to milder flue seasons in previous years which amplified the early numbers.

  But the number of people who get it and die? That is no-where near 3%, it's more in the fraction of a percentage, 0.01% area.
