Not all cops are like this
But a lot are. That's the problem.
Not really.
Literally any cops with such behavior is a major problem.
That could be said for any individual in any sort of authoritative or responsible position.
Yes, it could.
It doesn't make it endemic, though.
Cops certainly seem to be problematic, and their abuse of power often results in loss of freedom, injury, or death of innocent people. Few other abuses of power result in such direct things for civilians.
There are far more good cops than bad cops. It's just that bad cops make headlines and exciting news.
Be that as it may, how good are the good cops if they aren't turning in the bad cops? The number of good cops doesn't undo the damage that bad cops do.
as I said in your thread bitching about it, the reason they don't just turn them in is because it isn't that easy, there's both a process that lasts longer than what it would take for a bad cop to go and get you killed 'in the line of duty' and shoot the guy that did it, it's also a problem when the higher ups cover for these asswipes, and the good cop gets fired for doing the right thing. The biggest reason for that is because of the increasing anti-cop stoner movement means that they have to stick together and hold out for each other rather than everyone on the force getting screwed because of a bunch of stupid pot heads are killing cops.
it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.
...but if you don't, people die.

And water is wet <.<
Really though, I never got the arguments for a higher rate of tax.
If you use nice round numbers for an example
10,000 a year, 40% tax rate = 4,000
100,000 a year 40% tax rate = 40,000
Why would you want to make them pay an unfair proportion when they already pay a shitload more in tax than most peasants combined?
also
Spoiler wsj is an anagram of sjw D: the tax brackets i saw in macroeconomics looked fucking DREADFUL for people with 6+ digit income
no wonder so many of them evade taxes
Florida has no income tax
No wonder Florida is such a shithole
Not for me :p
Ah yes, #richpeopleproblems Must be nice to not have to be exposed to all the shit that happens around you.

But m-m-muh f-fair share.
Isn't the whole point of taxing higher incomes more so that they generate more revenue?

I get that she's a terrible choice but every time I hear the word Benghazi I just switch off. Beating a dead horse doesn't even cut it at this point.
Benghazi was a big deal though and not be discounted. There's no dead horsing about it
Sure, but banging on about it relentlessly after god knows how many tribunals have found no wrongdoing is dead horsing it.
It's the same crowd that has tried to overturn the ACA fifty-some times. They love dead horsing things.

Because a cop doing bad shit is more news worthy than one doing his job.
I'm not talking about a cop doing his job. I'm talking about cops who turn in bad cops for being bad cops.
It's not as easy as "hey, you're corrupt! You're coming with me!" If there's corruption in the police force, the "bad cops" are the ones with power.
I don't disagree.

So, time and time again we see "bad" cops abusing their power, overstepping the law, and often resulting in injury or death of a person.
But at the same time we hear about "oh, not all cops are like this."
Well, where the fuck are the good cops? Why aren't they turning people in? Why aren't they saying something?

''what society would be like if the minimum amount of money any citizen could receive per month was $300-500''
For doing nothing that is a very bad idea and dangerous plan for a society.

When everyone is rich no one is rich. Wealth inequality will always exist in a market economy.
This is true. But we shouldn't encourage exacerbating the issue by adopting something like a flat tax. We need varying tax rates. "One size fits all" does not work for us.
I tend to favor Milton Friedman's proposal of a regressive tax system where if you make below a certain threshold you receive money from the government, and once you're over that threshold you enter progressive tax brackets that eventually reach a flat tax rate of 20-30%.
I could get behind that. But the right will demonize such a system as encouraging people to be poor, etc etc etc

“Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”
― John Steinbeck
And how many workers, do you think, who do think of themselves as exploited proletarians actually end up becoming millionaires?
Because I guarantee, whatever the poor situation social mobility is currently in, the Marxoids are doing badly precisely because they're Marxoids.
It's not even about socialism and marx, really; you can take that out of the quote entirely and it still rings true for so many Americans. They aren't poor and getting fucked, they're just temporarily down on their game and mildly inconvenienced; they'll be rich soon, don't worry. They eat that shit up because it makes the feel less shitty about the situation they're in.
But it doesn't work that way. We can't all just...become rich.

Camnator, is that you?
Well, I guess this discussion is over, seeing as how you have no intelligent retort.
It's true, though. You can't just ignore a law that you personally object to.
Well all have a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.
No, you have the responsibility to change or remove unjust laws. Because disobeying a law will just get you locked up, fined, shot, etc. Disobeying a law, no matter how just you find it, does not exempt you from its punishment.

But that doesn't mean we can just pretend it doesn't exist until it's actually gone. I can't buy a banned firearm without fear of punishment in spite of it being illegal just because I find the law unjust. I wait until the law is changed or lifted before acting.

This belongs in serious...why?
Dude, if you don't think tits is serious shit, you'd probably prefer a serious topic of dick sizes because you seem to would rather talk about your prefered dick size for your maximum pleasure.
lol
