Oh, don't get me wrong. I don't mean to imply that there will be consequences. Just that there is definitely crooked shit going on.
I saw that this morning, that is seriously fucked up.At least four Black women and girls were murdered per day in the US last year
As homicides surged across the US last year, the number of Black females killed increased sharply as wellwww.theguardian.com
Also, the caption is spot on. Salary isn't where the money is made, it's the copious and unnecessary overtime.Median, are you kidding me? Median invariably takes into account one-offs that aren't indicative of the data-set by distribution. Show me average.
Oh yeah, I'm well aware of that one.it's the copious and unnecessary overtime.
Jesus.pretty good write up of an event I remember happening but not much beyond that
that god things are so different now
speaking of overtime.....
watch this whole thing
One of these days someone or some group of people are going to partake in a protest like this, but with the sole intention of an ambush if the PD do shit like this. One person and it can be discredited as a crazy with maybe a few cops hurt or killed. But a few guys in an organized ambush? Militarized attack, if you will?This is the Minneapolis police. This is what they are. It's what they are fighting so hard to maintain. We deserve better than this. https://twitter.com/brainnotonyet/status/1447696762987323396?s=20
Well they did burn down the precinct where chauvin worked (which apparently had a loooooonng history of that kind of crap).One of these days someone or some group of people are going to partake in a protest like this, but with the sole intention of an ambush if the PD do shit like this.

What's the tipping point? Is there a tipping point? Historically for "lone gunman" situations, it's someone with a grudge. Is there the same for a group of people?
This is the shit I'm scared of. Because if that happens, the blowback will be immediate and immense. And it will be against the entire population that is not 100% in-line backing the police.Well they did burn down the precinct where chauvin worked (which apparently had a loooooonng history of that kind of crap).
I mean this is what the boogaloo boys fantasize over......and who were responsible for the 3 high profile cop deaths last year (las vegas and oakland). It's not good.
It's funny how all the anti-govt preppers ran their mouths for years and then when it came down to it, marched with cops.
LAPD and NYPD get all the credit but you should see some of the surveillance shit Minneapolis has been using on people. Not only regular drones and dubiously legal cell phone tracking, but you remember when a few of them got busted last year running a 'protest organizer' forum? Like literally trying to spark riots so that they could go shoot at people?
There's a reason why activists have arrived at defunding police. It's not some flower and counselor distribution fantasy, it's that literally nothing else ever works, and going at them with force would just become another civil war wherein the people cops brutalize will just lose. Defunding is the non-violent solution and everyone still acts like babies over it.
Shit, at least they have an excuse. After my Yeti was stolen, I provided video footage and the name (corroborated by someone who knew him) of the thief to the Detective in charge. All they could be troubled to do was write up a police report so I could file a claim with insurance.these guys shouldn't have spent so much money on teargas and avocado toast last year
Portland crime victims say responding officers bring up budget cuts, staffing shortages
More and more Portlanders say responding officers tell them budget cuts and staffing shortages prevent the police bureau from fully helping crime victims – an excuse that many victims said is not what they want to hear from police when they call for help. KATU has heard this from people in...katu.com
story time, mi amigoI got drugged at a restaurant, had bloodwork that showed it, and the lazy fatass never followed up with the place where it happened.
Teachers: Looks like our funding has been cut (again) this school year. I already spend so much of my own money buying supplies. Guess it's time to get a second job and beg parents for the necessaries to educate their children.They don't have an excuse, they're throwing tantrums. The reason they're so vocal is because they want to people to think there's a reason. There isn't. They're just little bitches.
I got hit by a 15 year old running a stop sign a few years ago on my bike. Destroyed the fork and front wheel. The cop couldn't be bothered because uh......she said she didn't run the stop sign.

Cops do what they feel like doing (as you've seen). Nothing has changed.
Military: hold my $750 billionTeachers: Looks like our funding has been cut (again) this school year. I already spend so much of my own money buying supplies. Guess it's time to get a second job and beg parents for the necessaries to educate their children.
Cops: How dare you suggest cutting our funding?! Do Blue Lives not matter to you? We will be lost without tools to adequately protect the citizenry from us. The department needs an MRAP in case terrorists decide to terrorize our annual pumpkin festival!
'Bout time the two connected and brainstormed how to do more with less.

That's okay. You can see all the far right 'family values conservatives' backing the blue right now encouraging them to get vaccinated.Five times as many police officers have died from Covid-19 as from gunfire since start of pandemic | CNN
The coronavirus has become the leading cause of death for officers despite law enforcement being among the first groups eligible to receive the vaccine at the end of 2020. That's 476 Covid-19 related deaths since the start of the pandemic, compared to 94 from gunfire in the same period.www.cnn.com
really?Drug Lords know Southern Oregon law enforcement is almost non-existent due to budgets.
911 transcripts filed in updated “Trump Train” lawsuit reveal San Marcos police refused to send escort to Biden bus

The federal agents that fly over CA all autumn have the same jurisdiction in OR
And seems like the state guys were able to make that bust documented in your link.
Our states share the same general growing climate. Which as far more to do with why there are so many outdoor farms in both. It's definitely not a specifically OR thing.
Cops always whine about budget when they just want more toys. Looks like it went up 33M to me

Just get RJ Reynolds or Phillip Morris involved. That could be their slave labor! Cops move for capital!
Dyer said the illegal marijuana situation in Jackson, as well as in neighboring Josephine County, has produced a number of negative impacts for the region. Some of the issues, Dyer said, include human trafficking, narco slavery and forced labor amid deplorable living conditions. Drug traffickers intimidate and abuse workers, some of whom are parents to young children, or are minors themselves.
I was talking more county level. Jackson and Josephine counties are a shit show due to "no new taxes" for over a decade. I haven't lived there in 10 years but it was getting a lot worse well before it would get better.really?
