My first memory of a cop was in San Diego looking our of my parents car window and seeing one beating a Mexican up on the street. I grew up an odd person who always believed that to have respect you had to earn it. I am neither pro nor anti-cop. I decide based on a person actions and how they match or don't accord with my personal moral beliefs, the ones that remain after the death of everything I had held sacred.

I have the same belief as well.

Oh, seems Fox News has found a campaign issue for 2024.
Law and Order party returns, just don't ask them about Jan 6th.

Fearful residents fume after 2020 move to defund the police leaves Texas city on 'brink of disaster'

Austin 'at the brink of disaster' as police shortages hit crisis level: 'God help us all'
A portion of the Texas city was left without a single police officer for a couple of hours in February
What I think is interesting about that story is that it mentions the cuts were restored almost immediately but then spends the rest of the article blaming things on those same cuts.

This is nothing but a grift for the police unions and parish bosses. They could offer better pay and invest in training better officers—but that might require higher taxes. So they declare a “state of emergency” instead to open up those coffers to reward the sheriffs/LSP with bonuses and overtime pay instead. Maybe some more funds for military-style toys too.

Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

Were you in Forest Gump?

The 2023 budget for APD was the largest in the city's history. We have a soft strike by the cops in this country that we are treating like it's just a natural state.
Policing is the only job I can think of where the worse job you do the more money you get. On top of that you basically can’t get fired even for egregious misconduct. In the rare event someone does try to hold you accountable you can basically choose to stop doing your job while still collecting a full paycheck until they stop.

The greatest police force the world will ever know is inner self respect. Nobody with real personal dignity would ever do anything to others but give from their own vast personal resources. There are two kinds of poverty. One is the limited access to necessary resources and the other is a mental condition based on feeling cheated. Where the second flourishes the first can't be escaped.

They don't trust progressives/liberals......they don't feel the NOPD should have been reformed....the cops were under stress when Katrina hit....

Settle down, Bubba.

You can't generalize....

Every time the comrade says this...it's the funniest post of the month (or perhaps just hypocrisy/projection of the month?)

Yep, a crossing guard job Is far more dangerous. Cops basically kill them selves by choosing to not wear a seatbelt.
Tell that to the spouses of dead cops. Not a job I would want. I rather be a corrections officer than a cop.
