Seattle Socialists Strangle Golden Goose

[DBTrek]

Well maybe you and StA would be better off without cops.
I wouldn’t be, because I’d have to shoot a lot of people, being completely untrained in policing and even less willing to take on risks to myself or my family.

And I’ve got no desire for any of that.

Look, you live in a shitty city. I get it. You might need cops there. It's not my problem because I am mostly checked out from those places. The closest I have to that is Asheville over yonder, but it's a solid day's march from here.

Most of us don't need these cops one bit. The cops do nothing for our safety here. They only collect revenue for feckless county and town politicians to run stupid ass programs.

We'd be better off with nothing but a sheriff who can deputize whomever he wants in a time of need, and local militia (gasp) to help out when needed.

Now.. I can still see the need for state troopers and such to keep people from speeding too fast. Sure. I can see the need for the sheriff to keep on a few full-time professional deputies.

But I think a lot of us would be better off actually taking responsibility for our safety upon ourselves. Neighborhood watch. Militia. Deputizing local men in a time of need. Everybody's armed anyway.

Like.. America was founded to be.

As a land owning tax payer, I am definitely ready to trim the ranks of these $100,000 a year cops who sit around the liquor store looking to bust me for chickenshit.

They haven't got me yet, but they just busted a 76 year old lady for DUI with no probable cause, because she couldn't blow hard enough into the breathalyzer, because she has COPD.

Way to go, another public menace brought to heel by the public sector unions.

And if your fear in that stems from your not actually knowing anybody in your community, and none of those people having fuck all relations to you, then this might be a good time to reflect on the problems of civic nationalism.

If you absolutely need a police union racket to keep the immigrants from killing everybody.. well, fuck.

One town over:

Throw in a few thousand homeless scattered in tent cities every couple miles.
Throw in a drug epidemic that leaves needles scattered through parks and playgrounds like dandelions.
Throw in a sanctuary city or three actively advertising how they thwart ICE and openly inviting who-the-fuck-ever to come squat the urban sprawl.

I got other shit to do than deal with all that.
Cops please.

Jacking 76 year old ladies with COPD, for $100,000 a year. Nice work if you can get it, I guess.

Props to the Seattle News team that did Seattle is dying. LA news team follows suit. Props to the journalists involved.



Shit sounds really bad in LA

Got hit with $136 Seat belt ticket from the State Patrol on the 5 block commute from my house to my work, all in a 25 mph zone.

Thanks for serving me with robbery.

They road blocked the road out of the area my condos are located in. Created traffic just to "check licenses". Total road piracy.
