Defund the Police!

You talk too much about your internet persona. It reveals your insecurities and deficiencies. Please continue to enjoy the basement. Originally Posted by LexusLover

Enough of you. I forgot how much your old ass bores the living shit out of me. If someone wants to bring it, that's cool. But I don't need to read nursing home shit from an old man like you.

...I'll probably sell most of them soon and the gun safe. I don't need all of this shit... Originally Posted by Lucas McCain

Probably find a lot of buyers down at your local protest site or maybe list them on one of the Antifa sites. Don't know if they got the moolah, so find ones that are paid agitators and be willing to accept Forint currency. Current exchange rate is around 304.348 HUF to $1 US.

Dude, it's not that serious. I'm one person who has enough Henry rifles for an entire militia. I just don't need all of this shit. Yeah, I'll get a higher value now but I planned on selling them over a year ago and never got around to it. Hopefully I will get more than the 1 dollar my buddy gave me for one of them. I don't take money from friends but I just took a buck to transfer it to his name... I don't even need the money. I'm just sick of looking at that gun safe full of rifles that I never even touch. I'll keep the most expensive one though.

Why am I reminded of grade school when reading some of these posts?

"My Daddy has more guns than your Daddy does!"

I have one lawn mower. That's sufficient.

My education is better than yours(3 worthless Ivy League degrees you know)

My House is bigger than yours(I have this great pool you know that I don't really care about)

My Tv in basement is the biggest in the house(sounds like he's compensating for lacking somewhere else)

I have this great better than anyone home gym(yet go spends his time at gyms)

I'm big and bad and will take anyone on anytime anywhere(yet when actually confronted backs off and won't show up).

I'm such a man as to troll in public flouting wearing masks just to troll.

Im such a good parent and family man(yet I outright state my significant other has "custody" - whats up with that?)

I oversee such a crack team of individuals and am not effected by the Wuhan Virus restrictions and lockdowns(yet I sit at home bored with nothing to do - also falls back to what's up with the family).

These are just a few of the obvious self-aggrandization attempts that have largely been refuted by himself.

Similar mindset as .... boasting about what one has and what one has done! Is it supposed to intimidate?

Dilbert, I have too many to list. I watched the movie Silverado as a kid and thought they were cool and started collecting them as an adult when I started making real money. If you name the model, I probably have it. I have too many. I'll probably sell most of them soon and the gun safe. I don't need all of this shit.

Chung, stop being a silly and emotional old lady. If you even have a job, I bet I make more in a month than your Amp and Listcrawler broke ass makes in a year. And yeah, that's the Ivy League prick in me so let the people who dislike me come at me like a pack of dogs. In case you haven't noticed, I don't remotely give a shit. You fancy yourself to be an intellectual. You are hardly one to a man like me. To me, you are just an old weirdo pathetic pervert. LOL Originally Posted by Lucas McCain

the original henry rifle (civil war rifle) was I think the first to use a magazine which was then loaded into the butt-stock.

Dilbert, I don't even know. I've only fired two of them. I haven't even touched the other ones other than to put them in a safe.

My buddy in LA fucked with me when he was at my house about a year ago and asked me why the fuck I live in Dallas. His exact words were, "shouldn't you live at Ruby Ridge and not in a city. What the fuck do you plan on doing with all of these rifles?" I thought that was pretty funny.

Like I said, when I started making real money I started to collect them because my stupid ass liked a movie when I was a child and thought they were cool.

I blame Danny Glover for his pinpoint accuracy with his Henry rifles in that fucking movie. I also blame Chuck Connors for why I have so many rifles. What can I say? I was a really impressionable kid. LOL

ahem.. I hear that the democratic mayor of Minneapolis maybe in trouble with his black voters. at a meeting, they asked him if he was going to defund the police. he said no. the crowd got ugly and shouted him down. security had to dive deep to get him out.

Defunding police: What it means and what it could look like

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/de...V6k?li=BBnb7Kz


An article from XiNN on a hot topic - another hare-brained leftists marxist idea to enable violent revolution in America!


There's a growing group of dissenters who believe Americans can survive without law enforcement as we know it. And Americans, those dissenters believe, may even be better off without it.

The solution to police brutality and racial inequalities in policing is simple, supporters say: Just defund police.
It's as straightforward as it sounds: Instead of funding a police department, a sizable chunk of a city's budget is invested in communities, especially marginalized ones where much of the policing occurs.
The concept's been a murmur for years, particularly following the protests against police brutality in Ferguson, Missouri, though it seemed improbable in 2014.
But it's becoming a shout. With the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor at the hands of police and nationwide protests demanding reform, at least one city is considering dissolving its police force altogether.
Does defunding the police mean disbanding the police?

That depends on who you ask, said Philip McHarris, a doctoral candidate in sociology at Yale University and lead research and policy associate at the Community Resource Hub for Safety and Accountability.
Some supporters of divestment want to reallocate some, but not all, funds away from police departments to social services. Some want to strip all police funding and dissolve departments.
The concept exists on a spectrum, but both interpretations center on reimagining what public safety looks like, he said.
It also means dismantling the idea that police are "public stewards" meant to protect communities. Many Black Americans and other people of color don't feel protected by police, McHarris said.
Why defund police?

McHarris says divesting funds ends the culture of punishment in the criminal justice system. And it's one of the only options local governments haven't tried in their attempts to end deaths in police custody.
Trainings and body cameras haven't brought about the change supporters want.
McHarris grew up in a neighborhood where there were "real, discernible threats of gun violence," and he said he never thought to call the police -- that was for his own safety. Instead, he relied on neighbors who helped him navigate threats of danger.
What if, he said, those people could provide the same support they showed him on a full-time basis?
To explain why he supports the idea, Isaac Bryan, the director of UCLA's Black Policy Center, points to history: Law enforcement in the South began as slave patrol, a team of vigilantes hired to recapture escaped slaves. Then, when slavery was abolished, police enforced Jim Crow laws -- even the most minor infractions.
And today, police disproportionately use force against black people, and black people are more likely to be arrested and sentenced.
"That history is engrained in our law enforcement," Bryan said.
Where would those funds go?

Patrisse Cullors, co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement, said defunding the police means reallocating those funds to support people and services in marginalized communities.
Defunding law enforcement "means that we are reducing the ability for law enforcement to have resources that harm our communities," Cullors said in an interview with WBUR, Boston's public radio station. "It's about reinvesting those dollars into black communities, communities that have been deeply divested from."
Those dollars can be put back into social services for mental health, domestic violence and homelessness, among others. Police are often the first responders to all three, she said.
Those dollars can be used to fund schools, hospitals, housing and food in those communities, too -- "all of the things we know increase safety," McHarris said.
Why disband police?

Disbanding police altogether falls on the more radical end of the police divestment spectrum, but it's gaining traction.
MPD150, a community advocacy organization in Minneapolis, focuses on abolishing local police. Its work has been spotlighted since the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis Police custody.
"The people who respond to crises in our community should be the people who are best-equipped to deal with those crises," the organization says.
Rather than "strangers armed with guns," the organization says, first responders should be mental health providers, social workers, victim advocates and other community members in less visible roles.
It argues law and order isn't abetted by law enforcement, but through education, jobs and mental health services that low-income communities are often denied. MPD150 and other police abolition organizations want wider access to all three.
Would defunding police lead to an uptick in violent crimes?

Defunding police on a large scale hasn't been done before, so it's tough to say.
But there's evidence that less policing can lead to less crime. A 2017 report, which focused on several weeks in 2014 through 2015 when the New York Police Department purposely pulled back on "proactive policing," found that there were 2,100 fewer crime complaints during that time.
The study defines proactive policing as the "systematic and aggressive enforcement of low-level violations" and heightened police presence in areas where "crime is anticipated."
That's exactly the kind of activity that police divestment supporters want to end.
Will defunding the police come to pass?

It's radical for an American city to operate without law enforcement, but it's already being discussed in Minneapolis.
City council member Steve Fletcher, in a Twitter thread, said council members are discussing "what it would take to disband the Minneapolis Police Department and start fresh with a community-oriented, non-violent public safety and outreach capacity."
"We can totally reimagine what public safety means, what skills we're recruiting for, what tools we do and don't need," he wrote. "We can invest in cultural competency and mental health training, de-escalation and conflict resolution."
Defunding is simpler than disbanding, though, and at least one mayor's already taken that step. After Californians decried a proposal to increase the Los Angeles Police Department budget to $1.86 billion, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti agreed to slash between $100 million to $150 million from the proposed funding.
It's not a significant dent in the budget, but it's proof that officials are listening, Bryan said.
"A week ago, defunding the police in any capacity would sound like 'pie in the sky,'" he said. "Now we're talking about it. Defunding police in its entirety still might sound like 'pie in the sky,' but next week might be different." Originally Posted by oeb11

Oh wait, they are considering outsourcing the police job. They are looking at Mexico as potential options- jk


Yeah, let’s fix it and not rip it apart. We have the best system compared to the rest of the world. Let’s fixed the bad part.

Someone wants a rifle for home self-defense?*

This is where everyone (not actually "everyone") starts talking shit about how many "guns" they have and how large their muzzles are?

One can get a "concealed carry" in California for a "rifle"?

*Macho-Gun owners probably should do a little (or a lot) of research on "penetration" when making their firearm/ammo decisions for home self-defense with a focus on their individual responsibility for the trajectory/travel of the round when it leaves the muzzle and at what location it finally comes to rest ..... meaning just how far down range the slug will travel before it STOPS!

It's also always a good idea to check one's homeowners/renters policy to determine if "intentional" acts are covered so that you at least get attorney's fees covered for defending the wrongful death or wrongful injury lawsuits for the negligent firing of the negligently selected firearm/ammo. BTW social media (blogs on hooker sites) are an excellent source of admissions to prove prior knowledge.)

Nothing like a Sunday morning hanging to teach the young or a Friday evening flogging before the boys go for the weekend.

insane.. I quoted him twice in the "stocks" thread on the Dallas forum, he looked like a Supreme Jackass.. this post wasn't one of them. I was chiding him for not going long stocks, he admitted he totally missed the 40% rally the past 2 months. now I see he made excuses for not shorting, when he KNEW stocks would fall. what a Tool.

I was on this forum going long, just like you were.
