Police - The new domestic military

Alright now I have something to work with :DWe agree your biased but then you attack me for being biased by according to how "Unwilling to accept the bullcrap and pushing for the truth to be known" I am....... I dont see how being UNWILLING to accept bullcrap makes me biased... As for pushing for the truth to be known I have given what I believe is the truth, that truth being that the police are here to protect us, that they do that job fairly well, and that they are not pawns of the government......"putting barriers on the sidewalk saying people HAVE to stay on the sidewalk doesn't make more room for those people who have to get places." Well see if you have a group of people standing still (the protesters) and you have other people in the same area trying to get to other places (the others) then the others will have trouble getting on with their lives. There are a lot of "others" In New York City and an ever growing number of protesters also In New York City, so if you take the people who are acting as roadblocks, and then move them about 6 feet to the left onto the sidewalks where they can stay and protest while others can get on with their day, then that could make things easier for the others...."Do you think they have some certificate that says they have permission to walk on the road because they're going somewhere?' No I dont, you dont need a certificate to go to work.......The point of moving people out of the way is so that it frees up more space within an area (like the street) for people to walk through instead of people having to make way through the crowd in both the street and the sidewalk "It's to keep people from spilling into the street and blocking traffic," - from your sourceYour article of police corruption talks about 6 arrests over the period of a day, 3 people were wearing ski masks, 1 person graffitied on a bank, and another person had an altercation with an officer. 5 out of 6 arrests were justified while the last was a misunderstanding, not really police corruption. New York City cops do have a quota, but the one (and only one) cop in your source didnt bother to mention that the quota applies only to summonses (traffic tickets and that stuff) not arrests for Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. There are many sources that do say that quotas exist, but the quotas are only for tickets and minor traffic infractions, not arrestshttp://www.nytimes.com..."The Police start to act like the military."..... You mean the same military who put their lives on the line for the safety of the rest of us back home, then sure I dont mid the police acting like the military. The first source you provided is riot police using pellet guns and pepper spray on Occupy Denver protestors, It says nothing that suggests they are armed to their teeth in automatic weapons like you claim. http://www.ajc.com...As for your grenades source. It is a youtube video with a voice over of someone who is also trying to make the police look bad. For the record they are not actual grenades, they are FLASH grenades, which do far far less harm than the grenades your implying they used. (see video above)http://www.youtube.com..."I don't know anything about Nazism eh? Is that why I made a reference to it then? No. It isn't. I referred to Nazis because in Nazi Germany you are right, people couldn't speak their minds, or be politically free. That was the analogy I was giving"How do you get THAT analogy from this sentence?"These Neo-Nazis make me sick. At least when Nazi Germany was around their economy was prosperous. We just have corrupt SOLDIERS("police")........... Is it hog hunting season yet? Get your shotguns ready."Next time you use a Nazism reference you may want to make sure that the message your trying to send sounds more like a message and not a declaration of war. As for the economic comparison, Nazi Germany's economy at its height lost a massive war to the country following its lowest height (the great depression), and Nazi Germany got their a$$ kicked....Your next source about the power of the German currency you completely miss.... 1 US dollar was equal to 4.2 German reichsmarks , meaning that the German dollar was 4.2x less valuable then the american dollar...... Your next source to calculate the value of the German currency is actually a US inflation calculator.... not an estimator of discontinued German currency and its value todayYour math is completely messed up on both accounts which invalidate your argument which doesnt even relate to the US police....Police dont get paid based off of how many arrests they make, they are paid on an hourly basis just like everybody elsehttp://www.bls.gov..."Your entire response was asking me where my references were" Well yeah I did...... Because of the 4 links you provided one was one from your own blog where you copy pasted your entire first argument, your other 3 are from the same website that sing a different song then what you claim they sing......... Thank you for actually providing sources this time even though you still used some of them wrong......"Police are minions of the constitution"....... Thats cute but the police are agencies of law enforcement contracted by state and local governments to keep order and prevent conflict on the local level"They're the lowest form of law enforcement on the hierarchy"........ There isnt a hierarchy of law enforcement and if there was I think school hall monitor would be at the bottom not the city police force....."They disregard the law of the land"........ They enforce the laws of the Constitution and they do a very good job of it"It's a government "BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE". Our tax dollars go towards their salaries. Our tax dollars are going to a less than 15% Congress approval rate, and a failing president. "......... We dont live in a democracy, we live in a constitutional republic where the people elect others to represent them........ as for tax dollars that money goes into a lot of things before it goes into politician's wallets.Those include Social Security, Medicare, defense, pensions, affirmative action programs, etc.http://cman.cx..."When the government disregards us as their employers, it's the spark of a revolution."........ No it sends their approval ratings down to less than 20% and gets them voted out the next electionThe Police are not corruption-riddled government agencies trying to stay in power, these are the services our police officers provideTo prevent and control conduct widely recognized as threatening to life and propertyTo aid individuals who are in danger of physical harm, such as the victims of violent attackTo facilitate the movement of people and vehiclesTo assist those who cannot care for themselves, the intoxicated, the addicted, the mentally ill, the physically disables, the old, and the youngTo resolve conflict, whether it be between individuals, groups or individuals, or individuals and their governmentTo identify problems that have the potential for becoming more serious To create and maintain a feeling of security The Police are not corrupt hogs that the Con believes they are, the majority of them are good officers who want to protect people and make society safe
