I'm fucking livid
This duchebag is lying out of all of his orifices
@2Echo68Whiskey what’s up?
TX DPS DIR. on the news
@Thumprhare @2Echo68Whiskey
But srsly-what exactly were you expecting? That they're going to DO something? That they're going to change a POLICY or something? C'mon! You Know Better.
@FayreLylith I expect that if you take a job, you understand the assignment and what you are signing up for. This further shows to me too many people have alligator mouths and hummingbird asses when the shit hits the fan.
@Thumprhare @2Echo68Whiskey
The problem is the recruitment & training. They're not selecting or training ppl to enter a situation with the intent of deescalation. They're selecting/training ppl to exert control-at all cost. Shooting unarmed ppl in the back, beating the FK out of & killing black/brown ppl & bragging about it, standing around outside a dangerous environment. Sorry-GTFO.
@FayreLylith that situation there is no deescalation—LEO should have done their j-o-b and pressed in but they all seem to have that alligator mouth problem. They walk the path of a ‘warrior’ without realizing what means…plus this whole warrior ethos in civilian forces is dangerous imo.
I think we need a police force trained like Europe. 2-6 years of training….intense psychological testing…etc etc. it’s a whole system overall needed.
@Thumprhare @2Echo68Whiskey In this particular case-I agree. but the gun laws shld never have permitted an 18 yo to buy that weapon. The job of most cops is to protect property-not ppl. In point of fact-they have no duty to protect anyone: https://mises.org/power-market/police-have-no-duty-protect-you-federal-court-affirms-yet-again These cops obviously were aware of this. So why the FK they were given all that $$ is truly beyond me.
@Thumprhare @2Echo68Whiskey I'm with you on that-stop miltarizing them, STOP allowing them to murder unarmed/nonthreatening ppl; STOP giving them so much money. But it has to go beyond just the cops-our society creates these crisis by not providing healthcare, housing, education as human rights. You let the population suffer to this degree-you're creating your own problems & using untrained, albeit well armed a-holes to "control" the situation.
@FayreLylith correct and agreed
@FayreLylith I understand and hear you. I agree with you about the ability to buy these weapons. These cops were scared…if they can’t perform the job they need a new job.
And we really need to stop this militarized police force. Like I said it’s like posers saying they are Barney bad asses, then when the shit hit the fan they did not do their job.
And if any LEO says ‘well I just protect property not people’—they need a new job. (I do get the point you weee making)
