It's a fucked up job and I respect the ones that are out there really trying to protect communities. Problem is it's more than a few bad eggs in the police force.

But still, it's practically a thankless job with shitty pay and high amounts of danger. It's like no matter what you choose to do you're fucked from birth.

lol

Ha, cops make way too much, well not all of them, but a lot of them. Not to mention the benefits are absolutely insane. It's a public SERVICE, you're not supposed to make a lot.

Yes, how dare they not get compensated for facing the daily threat of having a meth-head pointing a gun at them.  We should just make the police and soldiers not have any benefits or a livable wage for what they do because it's just a service right?

Please add something to the discussion instead of just posting "lol".  This is Serious, not the Flood.

The fact you think debt doesn't matter shows how naive you are, exactly.

See you're not even paying attention--I didn't say that. I said the only proper way to measure the importance of the debt is in comparison to GDP; I actually think the debt at the moment is too big.

All you're doing is making wild claims with no evidence--no, common sense doesn't count,  you economically illiterate dope--and making unfalsifiable claims. . . How has the economy become artificially inflated? How come we've actually seen real growth since then? How come nothing bad has happened over the course of this century-long, monolithic artificial inflations when we've seen throughout history that it doesn't take that long? You can't answer these questions properly because you're just presenting false of even insignificant propositions.

How come all of the reliable indicators from 1992 to 2006 show a near-perfect monetary framework that was, if anything, actually tight, from 2001-2006.

The only one making wild claims with no evidence other than the type that proves you wrong is yourself. Of course you aren't aware of common sense. There hasn't been growth, there's been delusion and we're worse off than ever before. Nothing bad has happened? Wow, you're legitimately that delusional? Look at the state of this world. Price increases, lack of jobs, massive debt, criminal wars, senseless deaths, unjust laws, infringements of our liberty and the income tax alone proves you wrong.

You know,  in a serious debate you need cites and sources for your claims, not just wild, silly remarks like "You don't have common sense hurrrrr".  Meta has been giving you sources for his claims.

American Sniper was a great movie and Mr. Kyle was an outstanding American. God bless his soul for his heroic service to protecting American ideals and saving countless soldiers from insurgents.

That is fucking awesome

I don't deny that there are good police officers in the force, but I believe we're starting to see more than a few bad apples begin to seriously abuse the position of power they're in. I'd say it's become a bit of an epidemic, in the US at least.

It's always been bad. It just gets more coverage now.

This.  People are acting as if cops suddenly have rose against the little people and are just now turning corrupt.  It's always existed.

I can understand why.

You can't understand that my laptop is a piece of shit and I'm mad my parents are paying for everything.  I don't want to get a job or go to college but dammit I'm angry.

I can attest to the horrors that a cop deals with, my friend's father used to be a cop, and he got called to a job where he had to go break up a drug party, and when he was walking through, he noticed a child on the ground, silent. he picked up the baby and it's skull caved in his hands, the kid was dead, and the drunk fools had apparently been throwing the baby against the wall because it wouldn't stop crying. nothing can prepare you for that shit man, and it changes you. his dad was completely silent for the next month, and only told his family when my friend was moved out and they were discussing his job

What happened, if you don't mind me asking?

This might seem action-movieish of a reaction, but I probably would've gunned down every last one of those fuckers if I could.

Article, news video and raw body cam video here.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (KSAZ) -- Flagstaff Police Officer Tyler Stewart lost his life in the line of duty last month. He was killed while investigating a domestic violence incident.

The Flagstaff Police Department released video from a body camera that Stewart was wearing during the deadly encounter. It shows how the deadly encounter unfolded.

The actual shooting is not shown, but the moments leading up to it are test, dramatic, and some may find them disturbing so we do want to warn you ahead of time that this is tough to watch.

The video shows a typical response to a domestic violence call, it captures the moments leading up to the deadly confrontation with Robert Smith. It starts in his patrol car on the afternoon of Saturday, December 27, 2014. The officer was looking for a suspect in a domestic violence call.

>>RAW Video: Flagstaff Police Officer Stewart's body camera

He found the man, 28-year-old Robert Smith in a neighborhood off west Clay Avenue in flagstaff. Stewart questioned Smith about what happened between him and his girlfriend. During the conversation Stewart asks for permission to search Smith to make sure he doesn't have any weapons. In a split second, things take a deadly turn. Smith pulls out a .22 caliber handgun and fired on the officer.

Flagstaff Police say the video goes on and you would hear three shots, the camera falling to the ground and then three more shots. Then nine seconds of silence, followed by what investigators say is the sound of Officer Stewart's service weapon cycling, then a seventh and final round is heard.

Officer Stewart was pronounced dead a short time later.

Smith took his own life after killing Officer Stewart.

Main reason why I'm posting this is because some people like to demonize all cops as serial killers, without realizing this is the kind of shit they have to deal with.  Day after day, week after week, every month of every year.  You know why cops usually act with suspicion or are constantly on their guard?  One moment of weakness and they could be dead, just like what happened to this poor officer (he was on the force for less than a fucking year.)  Sad thing is, I don't think he was even the target.  I believe that Smith was looking to go shoot down his girlfriend before taking his own life.  However he got cornered by a cop and ended up taking Stewart's life before his own.

I generally treat cops with respect in the very few times I've interacted with them.  Treat them with respect and cooperate, and things should be fine.  But if they are being those cops you see people wail about on social media, then break out the camera and record everything without baiting the cop.

EDIT:  If you watch the raw cam video, you can skip to about 7 minutes if you want to see what happened.

You like me?

Baby you give me Caspergers

Oh and the laptop screen is less than 24 inches...it's too small.

Also, a kid recently came out and said his claims of going to heaven following a car accident (the claims were then published and made his family a lot of money) and said he made up his claims just for attention.

Was that that one heaven something movie that came out last year or something?

Well there was a book, "Heaven is for Real" (not to be confused with the movie God's Not Dead" IIRC there was apparently something about the kid not even having been unconscious during the ordeal. Basically, the dad pulled it out of his ass.

Colton Burpo was his name.

Biggest load of utter shit I've ever laid witness to.

Oh, that one was fake too?  I was talking about the one with the kid named Malarkey.

does anyone know if there's a way to transfer files directly from my computer to my laptop via cord or something?

Tell your parents to buy you a flash drive with plenty of memory.

We wouldn't have the Asians or Mexicans doing the menial jobs for us.
