 my point was gross overspending on gadgets instead of training. its like 500 hours training to be a cop and 30k+ for a charger. 
its about 10 months salary to afford a charger but about half a month salary to train a cop.


What the frick will more training do?

The Atlanta cop did what he was trained to do and he's being charged with murder.

judging by the scanner, it's a rather quiet night in ATL.

It wouldn't shock me if a lot of protestors went out there just because they know there will be police officers for them to taunt and throw shite at.

I'm not sure why it's so difficult for people to acknowledge plenty of LEOs are complete shite heads, and charging anyone for murder in this Atlanta case is patently absurd.

They're not mutually exclusive, yet 95% of the posts in this thread would suggest otherwise.

When are we gonna discuss how to better train the segment of society that commits a disproportionately large percentage of the crime in this country while barely making up a double digit percentage of the population? Why is this problem solely the responsibility of the police?



well police have the authority, they are held to a higher standard, or should be.
we should put money towards training that segment you refer to. both things can be true.

Nothing through official channels. We reached out to multiple APD officers we know. Only one zone (there are six) is currently working right now. The rest dropped their cars and keys back at their precincts and went home.

Mayor Lance-Bottoms requested mutual assistance from Cobb and Gwinnett Counties, who had initially withdrawn their mutual aid after the DA's choice to arrest the college Taser Incident officers. They refused.

I'm not even sure if GSP is going to send help either, there's a rumor that the governor ordered them to step back after the DA's decision. That's unconfirmed.

They were probably sent out with a wooden gun and a rape whistle

You don’t understand the reverse psychology going on.


They can’t claim Gundy is far right for wearing an OAN shirt while doing way worse like burning down buildings and rioting.

I think cops are trained to defend themselves and the public from threats to their safety.

More training is always a good thing. We always hear about conflict resolution training or firearms training, but we never hear about more unarmed combat training. Giving these guys hand to hand, jiu jitsu, mma, whatever type of training is probably the most important training they could get.

Y’all can verify me later. Been on five years. Off tonight thanks to command’s BS screwing with our off days, but ... it’s true. Let it burn. KLB is allegedly in a panic. And I think it’s all 6 zones. All over our internal Facebook groups.

Mods, I’ll send my badge number, email, whatever. Have the IDs hanging by the door now

Most same people agree the Brooks shooting was justified. I think he walks- it is also why we have a court and legal system in this country.

As to what better training and pay will do, go watch the Shaver shooting and you will see a man get shot that should still be alive.

The left in the last 4 years have pointed the Democrat car to the left and threw a cinder block on the gas pedal. When you have the likes of AOC being the spokesman for the party, you know communism isn’t too far behind. They’re really gone for broke on the post Marxism strategy and it’s either going to succeed or tear the party apart.

Once that mindset has taken hold, the only thing they will respond to is an equal show of force. It really is a mind virus. I wish there was another way, but their doctrine doesn't allow middle ground any longer.


That’s what breaks my heart. I absolutely love that dude and I don’t think there’s anyway we could find middle ground. And our stances aren’t different. He works to share Christ with and help black kids learn to be fathers and stick around with their kids. We both know that is the the best way to fix things. But because I don’t subscribe to the right political party or believe what BLM (the organization, not the statement) puts forward with a lot of ideology, I’m irredeemable.
