lol...you so funnyYou should have known better than to try and bring statistics into this...
You guys have a bigger population. What more can I say. Your covid deaths make up 3% of NZs population.i will take that as a no, there are no other industrialized nations who kill cops as much as here....ok, next!!!
how about we try cops being injured in line of duty-how many in NZ?

Evidently scaling for population only matters when it's my argument lolYou should have known better than to try and bring statistics into this...
You dont even read your own sources. I've lost confidence in youYou would have been wounded and perhaps much worse here in the states with your mentality....please believe me.

Indeed. The criminals and violent citizens of this country are far scarier and more threatening than our police could ever be. Never has this been more true than now.You would have been wounded and perhaps much worse here in the states with your mentality....please believe me.

I agree that we need law enforcement reform in this country, but not in the way most people would think. I believe we need to give our police more freedom to use potentially deadly force in situations of violent crimes and the resistance of arrest. Obviously, criminals have not been all that threatened by police for quite some time. If they were, they wouldn’t be committing crimes.
Now that the police are feeling handcuffed themselves, we need to completely reverse that mentality and show people who act like they are above the law that there is zero tolerance. This includes the “peaceful” protestors/rioters that are sacrificing the safety of all races.
'police arrest 8 during DC protests, including 5 for allegedly assaulting officers'
really wish our friend from new zealand could have been there to join in with the "protesters'
crime is going to go up-way up...this is bad in the short run, but good for long term if it gets trump re-elected.Indeed. The criminals and violent citizens of this country are far scarier and more threatening than our police could ever be. Never has this been more true than now.

with a few wise words he could have defused the situation. with him there wouldn't even have needed any cops.He could have told the officers how to do their jobs since he’s such an expert.
Exactly.Crime should have devastating and severe consequences. Criminals should be in fear of their life 24/7.
it's amazing how much risk police take in arresting criminals, then they are out on bail an hour later, and then prosecutors refuse to prosecute. i blame democrats 100%.Exactly.
There‘s an abundance of repeat criminals out there. If there isn’t an element of fear behind the enforcement of law- then it‘s of little value. Unfortunately, it’s just the way it is. Many of these people have no value for their own life, yet make it their sole mission to devastate the lives of others.
What the actual F lol. Deadly force when resisting arrest?Indeed. The criminals and violent citizens of this country are far scarier and more threatening than our police could ever be. Never has this been more true than now.

You guys have actual messed up mentalities on the value of a life.Crime should have devastating and severe consequences. Criminals should be in fear of their life 24/7.
You guys are far too emotional about this lol.i'm shocked. too bad @Jiigzz wasn't there to defuse the situation.
i like @Jiigzz and he is taking it well...but he is wrong to compare police work in NZ to policing here.You guys are funny, and it isn't like Jiggzz needs me defending him, but I do feel like saying he was a bad cop is a bit over the line. He served his people and I would never attack anyone's honest service to others. He is also coming from a place of good intentions, and it is fine to disagree - I do somewhat - but he is generally a reasonable adversary and while he is taking it pretty well, I just wanted to say that.
He can be pretty irritating though![]()
You guys have actual messed up mentalities on the value of a life.
hey, i am the one who opposes capital punishment so don't go there. but if a cop feels threatened i have no problem with deadly force-none...!!!!
BLM is a decentralized movement. You can stand with its principles while condoning the violence.i like @Jiigzz and he is taking it well...but he is wrong to compare police work in NZ to policing here.
and i don't think he even understands what BLM represents and stands for---i challenged him to look into BLM before saying he would protest with them-i hope he does this, i think he will be a little surprised....but mostly i am totally blown away that someone as smart as he is would automatically stand with a radical extreme group like BLM before knowing just what they are...
You guys have actual messed up mentalities on the value of a life.
Maybe we should shoot all drunkards and drug addicts while we at it
what protests? all i see are mobs and riots, looting and burning...there is a big rally in washington today---want to bet it tr-urns into a riot?BLM is a decentralized movement. You can stand with its principles while condoning the violence.
In the same vane, I would stand with Hong Kong protesters.
The right to protest is important. Not all the protests are protests, I've already said this 100x ITT.
I've never said theres never been any riots or looting, only that the right to protest should be protected.what protests? all i see are mobs and riots, looting and burning...there is a big rally in washington today---want to bet it tr-urns into a riot?
lets make a bet---if there is no riot in washington tonight i will not post in this thread for 3 days....if there is a riot in washington tonight you won't post in this thread for 3 days...
@Jiigzz want to bet?
should be protesting doctors for responsibility for all the drug addicts!!!Drunk drivers? Absolutely. Drug addicts...they don’t like their life anyway.
I’m not saying it should happen every time, but people who resist arrest should know that it‘s a reasonable possibility as things escalate. It shouldn’t be scrutinized to the level it has been or turned into a racial injustice for no apparent reason.What the actual F lol. Deadly force when resisting arrest?
Yikes man, that's a scary mentality you got there.
you don't get it---THERE ARE NO PROTESTS. it's all riots and looting and burning.I've never said theres never been any riots or looting, only that the right to protest should be protected.
People were protesting anti 5g here, I dont agree with it but it's their right.
maybe black leaders should stop telling people to resist the police?I’m not saying it should happen every time, but people who resist arrest should know that it‘s a reasonable possibility as things escalate. It shouldn’t be scrutinized to the level it has been or turned into a racial injustice for no apparent reason.
Yeah I agree that it is constantly being reduced to Black vs White.I’m not saying it should happen every time, but people who resist arrest should know that it‘s a reasonable possibility as things escalate. It shouldn’t be scrutinized to the level it has been or turned into a racial injustice for no apparent reason.
I didn’t even know that was happening, but yes....they probably should!maybe black leaders should stop telling people to resist the police?
you put my thought into words very well, thank you!!!I didn’t even know that was happening, but yes....they probably should!
I think there are several layers to the protests/riots etc which I will just summarize as this:
1) BLM protestors that put a sign on their front lawn and maybe head down to their local town or city hall to hold a sign for a few hours on 1 or 2 occasions. They really have no idea what they are even doing or what impact it may have = peaceful protests.
2) People who repetitively attend local protests and try to impose themselves and their beliefs on others. Sometimes in a bullying/threatening fashion.
3) People who take things to the extreme and incite violence, vandalism, looting, arson etc..
Even category 1 encourages the continuation and keeps the embers burning for the people in category 2 and 3. That’s why it is all destructive and needs to be put to an end for the greater good of everyone.
They should take a page from Hong Kong's bookyou don't get it---THERE ARE NO PROTESTS. it's all riots and looting and burning.
why the hell can't you understand this---peaceful protests haven't existed for some time now, geez!!!
lol...that is the arguement you have been making from the beginningYeah I agree that it is constantly being reduced to Black vs White.
I'm not arguing it is racism.
This whole thread has been point number 2. Go back a few pages and read how many people insult me.I didn’t even know that was happening, but yes....they probably should!

they should take a page from Martin Luther King's book. MLK preached against violence and was a true believer in peaceful protest.They should take a page from Hong Kong's book

RFK, or for you youngsters robert f kennedy was in my home town of indianapolis the day MLK's assasination was announced. RFK used the words and teachings of MLK in his speech announcing Kings death---many credit kennedy for preventing the rioting and looting that happened in every large city in the US from happening in indianapolis.
the only reason we insult you is to give you AWARENESS of how wrong you are, you do not understand the situation in this country yet pretend you do--you do not!!!This whole thread has been point number 2. Go back a few pages and read how many people insult me.

i think i would be persecuted by that thug outfit just for being a old white guy.BLM for doesnt seem to give a krap about MLK, before you know it, you will get persecuted by these people if you wear a MLK shirt in public....sounds crazy but Ive seen alot of crazy lately.
i think i would be persecuted by that thug outfit just for being a old white guy.
but this old white guy is well armed and won't go down without a fight-bet your life on it.
break into my house and find out what a 12 gauge shotgun at close range can do.
and there will be lots of it.....Strawberry jam on the walls.
look it's woody, looks a little lost-eh?My feelings of the counter argument to the police debate:

I wouldn’t take it personally, I just think people are tired of all the bullshit going on in this country in terms of racial justice and police enforcement matters. It’s a good sign for this country when people voice that they are pro law enforcement.This whole thread has been point number 2. Go back a few pages and read how many people insult me.
