Rooftop Koreans are the most superior people.

Also- life comes at you fast. I'm sure she won't face time though.

It’s karma, but I wouldn’t hold my breathe that she sees any actual consequences in the Biden DOJ. Recall democrat protestors get leniency for getting caught up in the moment. You can chunk a Molotov in a squad car if you are aligned with the right folks.

Right, because it's a local law enforcement issue, not a federal one.

Blame the mayors and city legislatures. If they need help they go to the state, not the federal government.

A social media influencer who appeared to cheer on looters while livestreaming as they ransacked Philadelphia stores Tuesday night was arrested and charged with six felonies.

Dayjia Blackwell, who goes by “Meatball,” was arrested during her livestream of the looting as large groups of mostly teenagers damaged and robbed multiple stores in Philadelphia, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. The 21-year-old Blackwell was also hit with two misdemeanors on top of her six felony counts and was seen crying in her mugshot.

Authorities charged Blackwell with burglary, criminal trespassing, conspiracy, criminal mischief, riot with the intent to commit a felony, and criminal use of a communication facility, The New York Post reported. The two misdemeanor accounts were receiving stolen property and hazardous conditions/physically offensive. The social media influencer’s bail was set at $25,000 which she posted Thursday morning.

It was in fact, not a mistake. Because a defund never happened.

Memphis, TN is one of the most dangerous cities in America right now. Tulsa, OK and Mobile, AL are very dangerous to their average resident. Doesn't seem like they get the media or political focus of Chicago, Philadelphia, LA, NYC, etc.

Something has to give soon because it doesn't feel like anywhere is particularly great at the moment. I live in a quiet northwestern suburb of Chicago and even we've had some off the wall incidents occur in the last few months. I'm almost glad winter is going to be here soon.

Oklahoma has a significant amount of investment from Chinese nationals selling legal THC at ridiculous levels to everyone and it is ruining the state.

DC just had a democrat member of Congress and crime-denier get carjacked by an armed criminal.

The DOJ under Garland is pushing for leniency in sentencing.
CNN says we shouldn't yell at our kids.

I’m in Chicago for the week and my crime app is insane.

It’s a cultural rot.

Would you work there as a cop after that? Do cops feel supported or empowered there?
Maybe they should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and quit being such snowflakes. Did I do that right?

Incredible that we've finally seen people come around on wars being expensive and bad. Yet, if Chester at Springfield Police Department doesn't have the latest and greatest "service" items it's the end of the world. Stop fighting overseas wars good, stop outfitting police departments with better equipment than some militaries bad. You would have to be a radical to even think of lowering the funding.

What a bunch of babies. Imagine if they had to go through the same public scrutiny that teachers or doctors get. There's an entire culture of people that have "blue live matters" flags on their cars, and yet they feel like the public is tough on them lmao.

Yeah, cops should really go through some public scrutiny, buncha babies.

Everyone knows there are some bad apples in law enforcement, just like there are in other professions. We all know the number of bad policemen is a very small percentage and those officers shouldn't be in a position of authority.

Toronto was calling them snowflakes which has nothing to do with the bad policemen, but since you wanted to point that out, I thought it only fair to recognize those that have given their lives to protect us.

Just a few bad apples huh. Should be no issues cleaning that up then and...Do a better job screening them before AND DURING their employment. Call out and get rid of those bad apples, police the police if you will (🤣). Yes, I know evidence says that this won't happen, but a man can dream.

Clearly it was. You're pushing back on my reply, so you seem to think police don't go through public scrutiny. There's probably not a profession in the US that goes through more scrutiny today despite the vast majority of them doing their job well. ACAB, man. They're certainly not perfect, but there are many officers in parts of the country that are putting their lives at risk every single day and yet there's few professions that catch more crap even when they're doing a good job.

They're snowflakes because literally no other profession can claim "negative public attention" as to why their fee-fees are hurt and have bipartisan support to increasing their funding and giving them more toys.

It's incredible they aren't even in the top 10 in terms of deaths per capita for workplace deaths, and yet they make it seem like it's the hunger games.

For a political movement to be "Leaving the feelings out" that capitulation to the demands of police officers is hilarious.

What was you point then? I've got a response saved, but maybe I am missing something.

Edot- My mistake, you did explain, thanks.

You sarcasticly agreed that cops should go through public scrutiny and then posted 4 guys that got killed/severely injured doing the job.

Inferring that they shouldn't is kind of crazy imo and I don't think cops go through enough. We authorize them to kill other people if needed. That alone deserves more scrutiny that the VAST majority of jobs. Now toss in (like I did) that some of these guys use their authority to sexually assault!? Police need to get to policing police as hard as they police poor people.

The military deals with more restrictions (as they should) when policing a forgein country's citizens than those the law enforcement that police ours.

Yes, if you added up all the police officers in the country and add up the bad ones, I believe that percentage would be quite low. They get a lot of publicity due to their position and rightfully so, but it shouldn't cloud ones overall perception of the police, yet many allow it.

If you go back in this thread, you'll see that I am all for police reform that includes better screening including psychological testing during the hiring process and regular mandatory counseling for officers once they are hired. I also support review boards that include private citizens as well as leaders in the community and some type of medical doctor preferably a psychiatrist or psychologist.

Yeah, let's just let the criminal run wild it can't hurt anything. After all, you've told us that San Francisco, Seattle and other cities aren't closing stores because of crime. It's because everyone shops online.

Everyone in those cities, which have great crime stats, likes to shop online. Makes sense.

Where did I say anything about the criminal? I'm strictly talking LEO's that are quitting because they have negative press. It would be incredible for them to take ownership and acknowledge systemic issues and use corrective action, but why would they? They get to have all their toys paid for by both sides of the aisle and have drones to ensure that they are infallible.

Until I see inventory shrinkage data and theft rate data from these stores then it's all based on press releases from the media department of these publicly traded companies. I understand that you and many here don't like to move away from anecdotal stories, but that doesn't mean I have to as well.

I'm not saying cops shouldn't go through public scrutiny. I was pushing back on the comment "Imagine if they had to go through the same public scrutiny that teachers or doctors get." I think they face quite a bit of scrutiny today, and while they catch a lot of flack from the public they're also dying and being injured on the job to boot. Teachers and doctors rarely have the later to contend with. Police absolutely should be held accountable for their actions, there's no argument there.

There’s plenty of agencies that take ownership. Lumping all law enforcement agencies together is just lazy.

So the companies put out a press release that is a lie? You won’t believe them until they provide you with inventory levels? Lol priceless!
