I'm not against law enforcement it is needed but what I want is to down play what they are currently doing. They shouldn't be wasting their time on non-violent crimes that don't hurt anyone unless it's theft because people have a right to their property. Things like speeding tickets (okay, I don't want to see someone doing 80 on a side street) noise ordinances, loitering, littering, the game warden measuring your kill, whether or not you caught a fish in Canada or US and its the same damn lake (we share Rainy Lake on the border, there are buoys that line the border on the lake most of it is in Canada).That kind of shit we don't need cops for,. What we need them to focus on is the major crimes being committed like murder, kidnapping, rape, major thefts, and those kind of things. It would dramatically lower their workload and bring back respect to the job.
What if thet focused on corporate criminals and pharmaceutical companies gouging everyone- especially senior citizens on fixed incomes.
That's politicians they are the evil ones they write the laws....cops just read them and if they think one was broken they bring you in and let a judge sort it. My beef is more with politicians who write the dumb laws. I also dont like how one crime has you branded as a criminal for life and literally it can stop you from living a proper life and turn ya into a career criminal. What's a man to do if no one will hire him? Whatever he has to is what hes gonna tell you.
Contrary to popular opinion you can't have unbridled freedom no one can. The human psyche can not handle it. Law provides order and in order for there to be order there must be enforcement. Most laws I will agree is stupid and shouldn't be on the books but that is not the cop's fault that bullshit is on the political class. Do you have any idea what kind of person you have to be in order to be willing to get into a gunfight with someone to protect people you dont even know? You can't have your everyday average pussy doing that job not in America he'd get shot his first day in a city like Chicago. Dumb shit like minor speeding tickets, jay walking, being too damn loud, getting arrested for drug use, getting into a non physical argument, not being able to pay fines, soliciting, you know dumb shit laws like parking violations. Those need to be stricken off the books. But who are you going to call if I spray your house with an UZI or AR-15 just because I can? It'd be a cop so they serve a purpose.
NO, because for NO reason you wouldn't be bullet spraying someones house. People just don't do those things without any reason. with the exception of children old enought to know better but are to agressively angry at the system, thou ANYTHING a child does IS the responsibility of the parent.
Before we had ultra-realistic video games- like miami vice city or something, which lets you slap prostitutes and murder innocent peolple for extra points in the game- We didnt have those issues. The Video game industry has desensitized the younger generation, and they immerse themselves in this alternate reality- then wonder why they cant find jobs- with hate filled hearts and no respect for anyone, including themseleves. I remember pac-man, space invaders, pong, atari- got to play those for about 30 minutes, then I had to weed the garden, take out the trash, wash the cars, wash the dogs, mow the yard, etc. Idle time is the devils workshop, basically.
There is always a reason you are right my bad.....Let's say I was selling drugs and I thought your house was the house some dipshit that owes me money lives in. Does that sound more realistic to you? Someone tried killing my cousin for a $800 tab you still dont think police are needed at all? What they need is their job redefined.
99.9% of laws violate rights the authorities swore to uphold. Still for law enforcement?
By what standard do you "downplay" that? Without rights there is no standard. There is a goal. It is first power, then wealth expropriation. With you and the majority support for the system of institutionalized violence that goal is easily achieved. Don't complain if you won't give up your focus on force as a means to an end it has never achieved. The few times justice is seen do not make up for the cost in lives and rights.
They are necessary for civilization, if there was no one enforcing laws I'd be a savage beast so I know others would be to. Let's be real if there was zero consequence to robbing you blind you dont think your neighbors would do it? This isn't a nice world at all, humans left to their on volition without law and order will be back in the days of Ghengis Khan or earlier even I believe he enforced his law as well.
