LA to cut police budget.
I support this, of course. I thoroughly enjoy seeing prog run cities devolve into chaos.

You mean no money for the militarization of their force? No facial recognition technology, tracker apps, high tech sniper rifles, drones, tanks, armored personnel carriers and lawyers on the excessive force cases? How will they make it?

Finally figured out that police are not military. Hooray for LA.

Police budgets are now generally at or over 50% of big city budgets. They have tanks, helicopters, and suits of armor while city hospitals can't get PPE for docs and nurses.
Time to defund. We need "peace officers" again, not mechanized infantry. ------------------------- Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system. In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer". |

Yep, the tactical moves can now be community involvement and not military aggression. Good move LA. ------------------------- I was right. |

The militarization of police departments was a huge mistake. Glad to see them backtracking on that and getting back to public service.
Part of this is due to the post-911 mentality. Also, surplussing of military equipment and DHS money fueled this. LEOs used to be very skilled at de-escalation and it was a point of pride to never have fired a shot during a LEO career. If shots were fired the training was to fire two shots, access the situation, rinse and repeat as required. Now most PDs train their personnel to empty their glocks or sigs or ?? into their target to neutralize the threat. That is why you get news stories like the two ladies delivering news papers whose truck was mistaken for a killers and police fired more than 100 rounds. Thankfully they were not killed, but on the other hand how embarrassing that the police hosed the truck down and didn't kill the perceived threat. BTW - the officers were not punished but received additional training. https://www.theatlantic.com/na...-wont-be-fired/357771/ ------------------------- If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph: THE ONLY PROOF HE NEEDED FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD WAS MUSIC - KV Edited: 06/04/2020 at 07:21 AM by Bamboo |

Well, I hope that we don't use the actual military to bail these dunces out, when things start going down the toilet. Let them go down.

I wouldn't say opposite ends, it's more of a matrix, and we both are on the anti-authoritarian side of the chart. When I talk about the principled rejection of hierarchy, it's essentially the same thing as "small government".
I don't want a corrupt government program that taxes people and then tries to set up bureaucracies to decide who qualifies for help, I want communities based on democratic principles to produce what's necessary to meet the real needs of that population and not produce commodities to sell so a few owners of the production tools can mass wealth. The idea is no "government" really, just federations of autonomous collectives. You can start ones that allows a few to own means of production and try to hire people to work; but who would do that if they could affiliate with a collective that works 4 hours a day and produces what everyone needs? Socialism by it's very nature has to be voluntary, so people could choose for themselves how they want to live. ------------------------- Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.
