i think cops are getting a bum rap.
are there some cops who shouldn’t be cops?
are some over eager?
At some point people will have to agree to the "terms and conditions" for the area they want to enter which could include the policies for policing and law and order.
No one can then complain that they don't like it. If they want to live in the "no cops, fight for survival" area then have at it, and enjoy.
If they enter a "we enforce laws here, expect to be shot if you attack someone" and get themselves shot? Too bad, so sad.
I see what you did there
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?
People seem to have forgotten that the reason we have jury trials is because it's meant to be better than mob justice.
This was mob justice, not a fair trial, and it will be appealed because you can't imagine a more unfair trial situation than the jurors being under threat of death and senior politicians and the president commenting on that the result of the trial should be.
If it happens again at appeal, then what? Mistrial?
The short-sighted will miss the point that adhering to the principle of ensuring the right to a fair trial is way more important than the outcome of any individual case.
And the result appears to have deflated the impetus for police reform, so no one will get what they wanted.
But expect the long term effect of this to be fewer police. Who would go on duty in the current climate?
so i see some very counter intuitive videos on how there is no over population issue.
that the world will grow to about 11 billion and stop.
well that would be the first time in human history that population just stopped.
LMAO China has not eliminated poverty nor has or will they or India. That is one of the most stupid things I have every heard.
Yeah, what people will do is calculate the average wage, including the new ultra-wealthy and declare it fixed. Once again, the super-rich saving the poor from actually classifying as poor through the power of wonky statistics.

The best solution was on the HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy, where they built three spaceships. They put the useless people on the 3rd, and "let them go first" ...

So "guilty" then, jurors chose the lives of themselves and their families ahead of the guy they never met, and I can't blame them!
The judge already directed people to the future appeal, where the real verdict will be decided ... maybe?
And at least there won't be any rioting, violence and looting ... right?
when you look back the last 20 years , what a transformation!
back then witnesses were putting out poetry and most were singing the praises of the organization.
slowly and gradually, negative thoughts were allowed to be expressed about doctrines, elders and congregation life.
What kept me coming back??? The humour! You lot were so damn funny!
I’d never met such funny JWs before and I knew there was something different about the people on here....I felt enormous kinship such as I’d never really felt before.
I think there is a lot of value in people just acting normally and being friendly and real. Especially after the fakery of the WTS environment.
I know some people love the deep theological discussions, but I've always felt that people rarely leave because of those just as they rarely join because of them.
It's all about personal connections and feeling a sense of belonging. So the personal stories and friendly words that help people to relate and feel like they can join in are worth so much.
We are definitely all mental though.

That's 20 years I'm never getting back!
LOL
i can't believe william shatner is 90 years old but doesn't look like other 90 year olds that i've met.
is it genetic?
is it lifestyle.
Yeah, whatever it is he's doing well on it. Looks and acts positively spritely.
Seems like a top bloke - saw him on a travel program where there was a bunch of old actors travelling round Europe and one young guy trying to "herd" them, it was very entertaining.
