Why do neighbors in America love to call the police so much? There need to be fines issued to them for things like this.
Happened to me here in Solihull. Few weeks after I moved, police came to my door with reports "a black guy was dealing drugs'. Till this day, I don't know the bastard that made the call. However, I did get an apology from the police.
Paranoia and fear. Inherited from the origins of the country where you would claim your patch of land and defend it with violence, until someone killed you and took your land. Mix that in with inherited, systemic racism, and you get your answer.
Anyone else sometimes think this is the Copa America thread?
Not me.
Possibly posted before but I stumbled across this going down the internet rabbit hole from one video to the next.
So much wrong in this clip from the ammosexual going fishing as if he's going into combat to the police showing up with guns drawn and in fatigues. The only sane person in the video appears to be the fishing warden.

Wait, so blue lives don't matter after all?
Also, 375 million interactions a year but you want your officers to go around unvaxxed if they choose to? feck off. Might give new meaning to the phrase "overwhelmingly positive responses". Twats.
I guess their "pro-shot" mentality only extends to unarmed black men.
Cops don’t keep us safe, dwazza. I keep telling you.
That is absurdly untrue.
The safest communities/neighborhoods are those with the most resources not ones with more cops.
Delta employees were just informed their insurance rates would be raised $200 a month if they are unvaccinated. The unions do not have a leg to stand on.
I shouldn't but
I know mate.
Seems they are making us less safe, or at least those New Yorkers among us.
“ammosexual”
What a dickhead. He’s also live streaming the whole fiasco. Pity he didn’t get shot.
A thing can be two things. You are absolutely correct that more resources will lead to safer neighborhoods. That does not mean that law enforcement plays no role in keeping people safe. The threat of tickets keeps some people from speeding who otherwise would. The threat of arrest keeps some people from driving drunk who otherwise would. And so on and so on. Proper and legal policing helps keep people safe.
Not sure if you’re being serious…
I ain't afraid of no speeding ticket!
But if I get one I might speed less.
Red light tickets on the other hand are $325 and that is enough to keep me onside. Not wanting to be in an avoidable car crash helps, too.

Do you guys have the same “you can turn right on a red light” rule as in the US?I ain't afraid of no speeding ticket!

Yes, unless there is a sign prohibiting that.
Surely a "sign" in purely textual form like down south? "No turn on right except every first Wednesday on a month that starts with the letter M.
no they're usually not that complicated, most of them are simple, like this:
Time restrictions are usually for left turns.
First time I took my wife to the US she almost had a heart attack when I made a right when the light was red.
It’s a good system, I wish we’d implement it here. It’d be left turn though, obviously.
Not sure you live in reality
He probably lives in anarcho-syndicalist commune.
You’re the one scrapping the bottom of the barrel with dipshit arguments about speeding tickets. This entire thread is littered with cops behaving like scum bags with little or no accountability. But sure, let’s talk about speeding tickets.
sure pal whatever that means.
If you really think the majority of police/public interactions is represented by what’s in this thread you are definitely living in the suburbs of reality.
Speeding tickets. You are arguing about speeding tickets in a thread about police brutality. Just insane.
your ability to change narratives to “make a point” is Foxian. Keep doing what you do Tucker, it apparently pays really well.
My initial point was this - cops don’t keep us safe. They drain resources away from communities that actually need them the most. Even amid a pandemic, their refusal to get vaccinated is more proof of this. All while getting paid by taxpayer dollars. But sure let’s talk about speeding tickets for some weird reason.
Is your argument that law enforcement does absolutely nothing to keep us safe? Nothing? Zilch? Zero?
Yup, they are pretty useless and usually make matters worse( in this case refusing to get vaccinated).
Yeah, so if your position is an absolute "police do shit for anything" we have no avenue for discussion. People who live in absolute worlds have absolutely zero grounding in reality and can not be taken seriously.
There is nothing to discuss and that is my point. Even in situations such as ticketing someone for speeding, drunk driving, etc cops still manage to harm those with who they come in contact with. Just look at how many videos there are in this thread where the cop is just ‘pulling someone over’ for speeding, expired tags, etc. The way cops are trained or taught to interact with people is inherently flawed. So even if you have a cop who manages to get a drunk driver off the streets, tens of them are still going to cause harm doing the exact thing. This is why reform never works and a total overhaul is the only solution.
I don't see how someone can argue that police don't serve a very important part of society, and are needed. This thread highlights the negative aspects for good reason, as it pushes for those parts to be removed, but it is baffling to think someone can say the police absolutely do nothing good for society.
Awesome, so we are in agreement that law enforcement, in general, does things to keep us safe. Glad we had this breakthrough!
No, because cops aren’t even capable of handing out speeding tickets(a stupid example of cops keeping us safe btw) without killing or causing harm to those they come in contact with. This is why people fear for their lives when they are pulled over by cops.
I think I get it now, you are actually pro police and have been using reductio ad absurdum to prove the point. Very clever and well played.
