A state set up tactical response team that was trained and prepared for the situation solves that problem entirely. Less funding for militarized police and just transfer that funding to a tactical response outfit. You’re acting like doing something new is simply impossible when it’s realistically the only logical conclusion, the funding and supplies are there already it’s just being used on complete bullshit.
So, it can be changed.
Because you’re avoiding the real issues that people have with religion.
That’s exactly what your problem is, you myopic twat.
Fuck you and the horse you rode in on, austerity politics are fucked.
Holy wars and misogyny aren’t a requirement for people to help their neighbors.
Or perhaps you just refuse to notice your blind spots.
Police should be there to cordon off the area for a tactical response in these situations, then negotiators communicate while a properly trained and equipped tactical team prepares a response and infiltration plan with the intent of non lethal response and a contingency for lethal action if the perp escalates it to that level, this part would be something like snipers, who’s first priority would be observation, keeping watch until they get a signal. Planning would be situational, as there is no universal outline for these situations. The job of the police in a tactical response situation should be crowd control, everything else is above their expertise.
So, by your own logic, religion is not required to help people, so why does that forgive Christianity for its holy wars and violent crusades?
After all the murder and violent colonialism, kind of makes it a moot point, eh?
Ever heard of The Crusades?
This take can get fucked.
Then send in a tactical unit for those situations that is specifically trained for the situation. We’ve seen how police handle those situations and I really don’t feel like escalation is the best approach for guys who can’t be bothered to do their job in the first place, let alone be properly trained and ready for a tactical de-escalation. Fuck off with the excuses for these fucking pigs.
Point blank, cops shouldn’t have swat gear or be treated as a paramilitary group. They’re supposed to protect and serve. Cops shouldn’t be a tactical force, they should be public servants.
Jesus Fuck, you tankies are god damned children with your logic. More than one thing can be, and in fact are and have been and will be, bad while other things have happened that are also just as bad, if not worse, while not diluting other events, you get that, right? There is more than one atrocity you should be aware of throughout history and every government has been objectively fucking awful, stop sucking so much authoritarian dick. You fuckers are kowtowing cowards.
The Little Rascals and Looney Tunes VHS box sets and a home recording of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. I fucking hate The Little Rascals and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory these days because of this, but I love the hell out of some Looney Tunes.
Bocce Ball. That game is fucking awesome.
Let’s just go for the whole genocide, otherwise we might have to pay for bananas.
As a treat!
