All Purpose Coronavirus Discussion Part XVIV: We're Goin Off The Rail On A Crazy Monorail

[Starat327]

It was a simpler time, back when I opened all your minds and revealed soup can be a sandwich.

You're dragging this down worse than abortion ever could have.

As a mod, you're supposed to stomp out the BS, not spew it. A thousand poops upon your pants!

Flavor of the month thing for me too, but if you ask for recommendations, you have to at least point me somewhere general.

One of the songs in my elite tier is a chill step/lowfi EDM song, but I'd never recommend it to anyone who didn't like computer music.

I too listen to it all but that doesn't mean I can't easily say the Beatles are my favorite band and classic rock is my favorite music, regardless of flavors of the week/month

Police brutality goes beyond slayings.
Negligence and abuse of power run deep in that culture i dont think anyone would debate that
Protests over killings start up because the act itself is egregious and inhuman but its indicative of a rotteness that permeates depts across the country.
Illegal search and seizure, physical abuse on the street and in custody, planting of evidence, wrongful arrests and falsified statements in court leading to countless unwarranted jail terms.

Those are generalities, what we need are data that can identify when, where and why.
You can point to instances, but with 900K policemen, there are always going to be issues with some cops.
The question is whether it's systematic, why do some police departments have a better/worse record, and so on.
What is often "obvious" becomes more complicated as you look at the data.
This is why the Obama administration pushed "evidence based" policymaking, don't assume, analyze then act.

One thing that is left out of the equation, anything that reduces the efficacy of police hurts the black community more than any other group, 2,500 black on black homicides means a 10% swing either way dwarfs the level of racially motivated killings by police.
So the trick is how to make the police less biased and violent, and more responsive while reducing violent crime.
The only way to do this is to figure out what works and how to transplant it to less sophisticated police departments.

Time to distract the masses

By the way, if you are like me and think the History Channel should be burned to the ground for letting itself become a pawn shop network, I found this channel called AHC. Today there are shows on there like "Cold War Armageddon" and "Forbidden History" - it's good stuff.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

It's just amazing that someone could see this pile of slop and say "ya know what'd make this better? A lil' Roe v Wade."

I guess we really do have all types here.

It's the one type, and then the alt of that type.

At this point I'm hoping the virus takes me out.

This is why you're in timeout, so that doesn't happen.

 

[Jack Straw]

Don't tell me he's at it again.

Has he ever stopped?

 

[Starat327]

Has he ever stopped?

He has for me

Is this "alternate history channel?"

 

[Jack Straw]

Me too, but I just un-stopped him and am now thinking that was a mistake.

I did the same briefly because every now and then, you want to see the car crash. Nay, you need to see the car crash, to remind you of how much you never want to see the car crash.

It's something like "American Heroes Channel," but it's what the History Channel should be.

 

[Starat327]

Can we talk about how beautiful it is today?

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Wait, did Hogberg sign?
