We Don’t Need Warrior Cops Policing Campus Protests

Are you smoking crack? Just when I think people can't get any more liberal than Reddit...I'm introduced to Lemmy...

It’s a reference to warrior training, linked and explained above - its sweeping police training across the nation to think a candy bar is a reason to shoot a child and leading to misinformation about drugs like fentanyl to make cops have panic attacks at the mere sight of the stuff, sometimes even passing out.

The "defund" (aka, the move funding to more effective places) movement didn't get anything done almost anywhere. I don't know a single place where funding didn't end up going up. I'd recommend looking into it yourself, and also checking up on your media literacy to see if you are sufficiently critical of what they tell you to believe.

The point of the defund movement was actually generally pro-cop, in that cops shouldn't have to do every single job. They shouldn't have to be councilors, mental health care providers, and whatever else. We need all these random jobs to be done by people with proper training. We need cops when we need violence. That's what they're trained to do. We need to increase finding overall, but move some portion of the funding of cops elsewhere.

Again though, this didn't happen almost anywhere. I have heard of a few places that managed to set up groups that go in to de-escalate and calmly check out non-violent crimes being committed, but it's really rare. I don't think the funding of cops decreased in those places either.

Yeah, it's definitely the fault of the people who are pushing for reform, and civilian oversight.

Staffing shortages couldn't possibly be because there are tons of cops who didn't want a bright light shined on their horrible, abusive behavior that they have been allowed to get away with, completely unchecked, since time immemorial....

What we need is to de-fang the police unions, force them into the same collective bargaining pools as the rest of the employees in their municipalities, like all the other EMS workers, and then make them accountable to the civilians they are policing so we find police who actually give a fuck about bettering their communities.

I imagine because there's thousands of date rapes reported (a small fraction of the total number since most are unreported) in universities connected with frat houses.

Sexual assault, abuse and deaths being the primary reasons a lot of fraternity houses are shutdown on campuses.

But that's just off the top of my head...

What sucks is, “On Killing” was a decent book with some insights worth thinking about, which got him his fame. How he went from there to “all people want to kill you because you’re a cop” has to be a story.

Last I checked, one of their core functions is to prevent trespassing and vandalism.

Is this a joke? I'm probably the ONLY person on this entire site that leans Right, and I've been called every name in the book for my opinions because they don't align with the Left....

But not other students lives right? I mean, the whole reason Colombia did what they did was because other students were afraid. More specifically, Jewish students. But, they don't matter, right?

But they weren't peaceful, that's the issue. The whole reason the university went in was because the protestors were putting other students at risk, more specifically, Jewish students.
