If there's a Dance next season this should be interesting
- Thread starter Halldan1
- Start date
Found this funny because that conversation currently goes
Caller: help, someone is breaking into my house!
911: on our way!
*2 hours pass, the burglar is already gone with whatever he came to take. The police finally arrive, you come out of hiding in your room to meet them and they shoot you and your dog as soon as they see someone approaching*
You guys can make up your fake scenarios but here's reality. First sign of fear, Call who? Maybe I'm mistaken, but it doesn't seem they are not waiting for reform to make the call.

Policing is a local issue. 99% of law enforcement comes under the jurisdiction of a city or town. Cities like Camden did want they had to do because the city force was not doing its job. But to assume there is systemic racism is part of the culture of every police force is just not accurate. If my city leadership and police force are doing a great job working together to protect and serving the community why should they have to reform because Minneapolis can't get their act together?
It's hilarious that the "defund" supporters keep using this Camden example but fail to read past he first sentence that the city police were replaced by the county police and there are actually MORE police on the streets in Camden today then there were before. smh....

Words cannot express how dumb this post is.
Does anyone know when the NCAA would have to decide by if they are going to move it out of there? At the same time, should athletics start in the fall, could schools refuse to go play at the University of Minnesota?

Do you choke yourself while you get off to your fake scenarios?
Remember their names...Breonna Taylor & Atatiana Jefferson.
Another example not exactly the same, but to your point...
Exactly. People acting like this is a fantasy scenario. Just this week a black shop owner called the cops on a robber who he himself detained, and the police show up and punch the shop owner in the face, breaking his jaw and knocking several teeth out. So many privileged people want to pretend that policing isn’t comically bad in America

I have no response for this stupidity. Let's tear down our whole society to satisfy you loonies, this should end well.

Let's talk about the poor black shop owner whose store and livelihood was ruined by bums in the BLM movement . We can't dare worry about the people trying to improve their neighborhoods, we have to cater to the lowlifes. Oh and insurance doesn't usually cover looting so keep burning the inner cities you're only ruining the lives of the people who need your help and can actually lift up their communities.

You seem to have a real passion for this stuff. And you're young enough to make a career out this stuff. I really hope you become a police officer and make a difference.
Rant time!
I've been thinking about your last sentence especially over the last couple weeks at the protests I was at. I would glare at these guys decked out in full paramilitary gear, armed to the gills, ready to go full bore against their own citizens if given the green light. We have an occupant in the White House who is mad they weren't MORE ruthless, and had to get massive pushback against sikking our actual military on protesters from his own military heads that are already bloodthirsty war hawks themselves! And he was out there yesterday gleefully talking about the nat'l guard ending protests like a knife through butter, and describing the use of tear gas as a “beautiful scene”. I get that he says this shit just to forever “own da libz” for his chuds, but it's still disgusting, it's madness, and we have a group of fellow alumni here that eat it all up to varying degrees. I bet we'll see more of it at his hate rally next week that was purposefully scheduled in Tulsa, home of the Black Wall Street massacre. And for the double whammy, specifically scheduled on Juneteenth. How's that for a nice F U to the black community? I'm sure they'll deny even knowing about Black Wall St & Juneteenth, but no one is falling for the act. Stephen Miller earns his paycheck, I'll give him that.
But being at the protests & seeing the rapid pace to which a lot of varied acts of criminal justice reform are already being pushed through in just a matter of weeks has me hopeful. Not all of it is as ambitious as I'd like....banning chokeholds is a pretty low bar, right? But the movement is working. And there are bigger policy changes taking place too. You're seeing police state funds being shifted into the public health sector & social services from LA to NYC & everywhere in between. Di Blasio is uncovering full complaint records of all cops going forward so we can know exactly who the worst offenders are. That's going into effect in a lot of other places too. You're seeing the governor of Minnesota now backing the full dismantling & reimagining of their police. There's dozens more examples happening all over bc the powers that be got the message loud & clear: keep ignoring us & letting these cops run rampant & we will do what we have to until you're forced to listen.
These protests might be the defining political story of our time. If we survive the boomers, this nation is eventually going to be governed by those generations who have marched after mass shootings & absolutely refused to stop marching for George Floyd.
Maybe tomorrow’s politicians will have stories about how they first met at a protest. So many future voters will have had their first real moment of political anger when the nation itself was in the streets. Today’s middle aged Democrats were raised by circumstance to be tepid. They grew up under 1980’s Americana fetishism & started adulthood surrounded by post-9/11 reactive patriotism. They are insecure, slow to take a stand (if they can manage the will at all), and can be convinced they’re losing even as they cross the damn finish line.
I still hope for a true leftist third party with some actual strength to rise, but if not, tomorrow’s Democratic Party will be something altogether different.
Dunno if you're a Rage fan, but Zack De La Rocha usually gives a small speech during the breakdown in Wake Up. Heard this one live at Lolla in '08 & it's always stuck with me. It obviously doesn't all apply directly to now, but it's still accurate, and towards the end what he says finally has come true 12 years later. Starts at 5:17 mark.
What you reap is what you sow, indeed.
Now how about some memes?
I wonder if BS walks around Bayonne and at these protests apologizing for being white. Probably.
Amazing how he wants a leftist party, as if the Democratic party isn't. The Democratic party of today is unrecognizable compared to the one of 15-20 years ago. The party of Bill Clinton, Joe Lieberman, Ted Kennedy. At least that was somewhat respectable. The party has been co-opted by radical leftists these days. Even a traditional democrat like Joe Biden is being pulled to the far left to appeal to these kooks.

The Wall Street Journal did a podcast with the police chief. Worth a listen.
He recognized they needed to reform. Said made a lot of changes including taking cops out of cars and back on the beat and on bikes etc. get into the communities they are there to protect and get to know the people. Recognized many families couldn’t afford food so held town BBQs as a means of integrating the police and the community while also feeding people in need.
Said still a long way to go, which is understandable given for years it was the #1 most dangerous city in the country, but said murder rate was down significantly and police are more getting more tips on crimes then ever did (either because people were afraid of retaliation, or didn’t trust the cops, ) which is another good sign.
One example and only one, but again worth a listen
There's no question of that. Probably has a new flat screen, too.
If he actually lives in Bayonne, I give him credit, at least, for living in an ethnically diverse city, unlike so many of the wealthy white lefties in NJ, who live in communities inaccessible to those of color, but virtue signal by marching and putting a BLM sign on the lawn of their $1M house.
God help me, I actually took Solo off ignore and read his rant. While none of it is surprising, a few points:
- He refers to "fellow alumni" supporting Trump -- as if he ever cared about the alumni, while publicly denouncing/mocking Catholicism
- He says "if we survive the Boomers" -- you mean the same people who took to the streets in the 60's? Your kind of people, different time
- He complains about cases of police brutality, completely ignoring the MILLION plus encounters with the public over the course of a year, with the rarest of rare ending in gunfire or death, and OVERWHELMINGLY facing an armed suspect, who is as often white as he/she is brown or black. All verifiable facts.
...then just a lot of noise, memes, "true leftist," quoting Rage against the Machine (LOL).
You just have to dismiss what people like this say right out of hand, because they're gone and never coming back. Simply anarchists with no redeeming values. He even implicitly approves of the violence (several cops now dead) and looting as "what we will do." @NYShoreGuy you were friends with this guy?
Proud of Myles Cale; this guy is a complete embarrassment.

NYShoreGuy isn't any better. He apparently thinks drunken driving now shouldn't be a crime for police officers to arrest a suspect.

I found the following very sad from the CNN article.
"Took it upon himself to pull off the road to take a nap". When wokeness now refers to passed out drunk in the drive thru as taking a nap LMAO
Here's a man who took it upon himself to pull off the road to take a nap," Alexander said. "Could they have given him a ride home, could they have called him an Uber, and let him sleep it off later, as opposed to arresting him? Now that does not in any kind of way excuse Mr. Brooks for resisting arrest. But the question is: Are there other protocols that police could have taken?"
A few years ago, a friend of mine left a bar, and realized he was in no shape to drive. He got in his car, put the seat back, and went to sleep. When a local called the police on the car parked outiside, the cops didn't give him a ride home or commend him on not trying to drive home -- he got a DUI. No resisting arrest, of course.
A couple of years ago I had a conversation with a police chief for 35 person PD. He reminiscenced about the days when they would drive you home instead of arresting. He said those days are long gone and their hands are now tied due to lawsuits. The scenario he cited was dropping a drunk off at their house who then gets back in the car 20 minutes later and kills someone on the road. Cop goes to prison for manslaughter. Kinda like the bartender who serves a drunk to much and let's them drive.
And this person accepted that? A nj dui lawyer would argue he never operated the vehicle in the state he was in.
A bad lawyer would.
15 minutes with the cell phone records and now we are negotiating perjury charges.
Take the DUI and run.

I thought it was common knowledge that you can't be in a vehicle over the limit even if the key isn't in ignition.
There you go again. Too generous with your use of "common knowledge". LOL.
May be more prosecutable in other states...I expect any good NJ lawyer to make sure the client is not found guilty of that....say one was at the boardwalk and their car was parked at an allowable residential street spot that is not in violation of no parking between times scenario and the.person drank a few drinks and it was late and they went to go sleep in the back of their car, they are gonna get arrested for dui in NJ and a prosecutor will convict that person of it? That is new to me. They were not operating the vehicle, they showed no intent to operate the vehicle.
I know NJ has recently gotten tougher on DWI with new penalties enacted. However, while I don't condone driving after drinking or with drugs in system that can.impair reaction time and judgment...I would be willing to bet if someone was borderline with the record of a boy scout as in no prior acts, a NJ DWI defense attorney will use his experience and influence the prosecutor for the client to plea guilty to reckless and forfeit license for up to 60 days.
I thought if you put your keys in the glove compartment and then slept in your car you were alright?
i heard as long as they werent in the ignition. sounds like we need an answer. or better yet, dont drive to the bar. carpool or get an uber
As long as you don't cross the international dateline you should be okay.
Read the above post i linked...hall85 be careful on what you like, someone may tell you to jump off a bridge
I would encourage you to stop using that phrase, you can disagree with me all you want but please consider the historical context of that phrase from the 19th century.

Give me a break. Nobody is using the term to reference an 1860s meaning, words evolve Snowflake.
