Love all the ACAB comments here. If you're all anti-gun and anti-cop, who do you call when someone is in harms way, including yourself? You all talk a big game until that game is on your doorstep.
It's less anti cop, more extreme disagreement with how our policing system currently works. The lack of training, the insanely wide degree of responsibilities, the lack of accountability, etc.. They effectively function as a state sanctioned gang.
Yes, if I end up in a dangerous situation and need a person with a gun to help, I will begrudgingly call the police (and pray they don't shoot my dog) because that's the option we have. That doesn't mean I don't completely disagree with and want to change that system.
ending qualified immunity would do wonders for accountability IMO.
Well first of all, I don't want to call them because they'd shoot my dog
control your dog.
By "harms way" do you mean attacked, or other?
I mean any time you'd normally call the police. A lot of the ACAB people talk a big game until they are faced with a situation where normal people would call the police for help. Personally, I'm all for personal protection. Train yourself and learn how to use self defence and firearms. Don't put yourself in sketchy situations. of course that's not always possible, but thats why you train. for that one in a million time.
Why even say this out loud?
The whole world is going to shit, and these people are useful idiots. Maintain your weapons, and when the need arises, secure food and resources from them.
agree.
