But I do think having some sort of view of what you post is important to clarify, especially when the media source appears to be inflammatory. It otherwise gives the pretty understandable impression that you are aligned with your source's take...
If you agree with that take, fine...just say why.
My point is that when media coverage has a pretty clear slant, then we would benefit from clarification as to whether the poster agrees or disagrees with that slant, and why.
Else the default assumption would naturally be that the poster agrees.
Would apply to an inflammatory left wing slant as well.
IMO, many of these attacks on the credibility and integrity of federal law enforcement are founded in partisan interests or sheer grift. And I think they're dangerous. Potentially very dangerous. It only takes a handful of nutcases.
At all levels, they don't deserve that mistrust.
Doesn't mean that there are no bad field agents, no bad managers, no bad prosecutors, etc.
Just very few overall and they sure as heck don't skew lefty.
Extremely few folks are political appointees and at least historically the appointments have not been highly partisan, much less corruptly so.
When you see career people resign in protest over decisions by political appointees, that does deserve scrutiny, but otherwise expect equal handed justice. It's very rare to see protest resignations...but we did see it multiple times during the Barr tenure as AG. I don't recall it happening with Sessions.
Obviously the rich and powerful have systemic advantages throughout our justice system, but that's a different factor.
* dude is/has bi polar, schizo, was involuntarily committed by govt in first week after getting into foreign service officer program, on third try, for losing it in training and bouncing off walls about 5-6yrs before this happened-no idea what he’s going to do when his parents rumor bc he’s pretty dysfunctional these days.

So you've got a half chub because a cop happened to be in the exact right place at the right time (because of an unrelated call), and did what he was ideally trained to do. And 8 people still died? INCLUDING 3 G*DD*MN KIDS!!!
You know a whole lot of people get killed because cops get sent out instead of social workers too?

8 people and 3 kids shot to death by a neo-nazi?
A good guy with a gun in the right place at the right time still results in 8 innocent people being killed?
Or is it funny that you honestly believe people want to send a social worker into an active shooter situation?
Or is it funny that you think you're scoring points by suggesting people honestly want to send a social worker into that situation?
Jesus, it's like talking to a cringey middle schooler who is trying to be edgy.

Re: Sensible Gun Safety
Gilgo Beach murderer had >200 firearms in his house. How many guns (assuming they were all legally registered) are enough for one individual to own?
Re: Sensible Gun Safety
Article I read said something like 90 were registered with the state. Gun storage quite well hidden as well.SCLaxAttack wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2023 8:53 pm Gilgo Beach murderer had >200 firearms in his house.

Nope, nothing new but it is the reason you will never get rid of guns in this country. Pass all the laws you want but very little will change. What I liked most about the video was how he stood up and delivered the message to some people who need to hear it put that way, otherwise they'd all be sitting around protecting their phony baloney jobs with flowery worded solutions that don't do jack in reality. Harumph, harumph.

Re: Sensible Gun Safety
He was dead wrong in his AR-15 analysis. He was comparing the round to a 22 pea shooter. The round is a 5.56 high velocity bullet designed to kill out to 300 meters. I'm surprised he didn't seem to understand that fact. The AR-15 is the civilian version of the M16 family of rifles. This man seemed to be unaware of that fact.jhu72 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 28, 2023 9:08 am... the point the fellow makes is not new but is a real good argument.
