    I will NEVER condone vigilantism or street justice, because its a slippery slope into chaos as people start taking matter into their own hands, possibly harming innocent people just on suspicion of guilt

    Unrelated:

    heres his full name, birth year, badge number, every unit he’s been in, his date of hire, every write up hes had since 2011, and his current salary

      its a slippery slope into chaos

      sounds exactly like what those gangs with badges are doing over there.

      if they only had any law enforcement in that poor country! then they could stop such crimes and start to build up civilisation instead.

      possibly harming innocent people

      that argument is way too weak, when “possibly” harming innocent is the alternative to “de-facto” harming innocent, that “possibly” is obviously the better choice then because there would still be a chance to NOT harm the innocent. get better arguments or remove crimes and criminals from law enforcement.

          It’s better to spread them out so they aren’t all on one instance. Also the .world admins I’ve heard have some issues. I have had no issue with them and don’t remember what the complaints were though. Regardless, one instance should not be the crux of the entire platform. If they were to go down and turn bad then we’d end up with a Reddit issue again.

        The moment he put the car into drive he should have immediately pulled himself over and issued himself a verbal warning.

      That’s just not true. Cops are not allowed to kill important people, like family of important politicians or rich people. There are limits on their power.

    See, this is a perfect example why “defund the police” is a stupid idea.

    In America the police already have shit funding. That’s why you have these untrained, unprofessional idiots running around. You have an incredibly low standard for law enforcement and you want to make the standard even lower.

    I mean, for fuck sake, there was a story where an American dude couldn’t become a police man because he scored too high on his intelligence test!

    Just look at any other modern, civilised country and you’ll see how much of a joke American law enforcement is. Then look at how much training police get.

      The police get plenty of money

      They just choose to spend it on surplus military gear and vehicles instead of training their cops.

      It’s accountability. If cops had to face charges for committing crimes while in uniform, we’d be seeing a lot fewer of these bad cop stories.

      There might be issues with training, but the accountability gap has to be closed first. You can have the best training in the world, but it doesn’t do any good when there aren’t any consequences to ignoring the training.

    meanwhile in other countries:

    “could lead to their dismissal, assured Zamora, and possible prison time”

    and:

    “following a complaint from the Police itself, the agents were detained”

    my citing is a bit misleading, and you have to read it completely yourself, but overall it looks very different there.

        Which is exactly why I’m against the death penalty and in favor of legalizing and taxing recreational drugs to fund rehab. I don’t care if you’re the Dalai Lama or a homeless drug addict, every life has equal value in my eyes.
