You're looking at: if tactics used by police are correct or not. You are arguing that there are 100 good cops for every 1 bad cop. We are far beyond this argument. I remember a saying that a 100 ataboys can be washed away by one ohfuck. 1 bad apple spoils the bunch. Cops have a bad rap right now, what do you do to change that? Double down? Put cops in riot gear? Not patrol? Let criminals rule the streets? Tactics won't win the war.
The strategy of the libs, the commies I'm talking about is to divide and conquer. The police are being denigrated right now and for good reason. They have been screwing the pooch bad. The libs are creating a mob rule mentality and the cops have been playing into it. When Reagan was CA Gov. he squashed a student riot with force and the law behind it. He didn't use weasel words. He wasn't trying to be PC. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bpg0UfpuUAs |
You are absolutely right, miclo18d. I completely missed your point, have been thinking checkers instead of chess all this time, and I am feeling rather stupid right now. I had never thought of the issue as a strategic one.
What you are saying suddenly puts a WHOLE lot of what seemed to be a lot of disturbing individual data points into a solid pattern. I'm generally really good at finding patterns, but I now realize that I have had my head in my fourth point of contact for quite some time. I feel like I just earned the dunce cap. LOL
There is a reason that I read a lot here and post very little. The intelligence and experience on this board never fails to astound me.
I feel kind of stupid about having posted now, but I'm glad I did because if I hadn't, you wouldn't have replied and clued me in. Thank you for taking the time to explain.
