It faces almost universal police opposition, it'll never pass.
The us versus them mentality runs deep. Time for major party members on either side to take a stand for the people.
The police are people too. The cities hired them. The police do what they want them to do. Remember that. They can stop them anytime they want. Politicians do what the people want. They can stop them too. Remember that. George Carlin remarked on this eloquently. The only possible remedies lie in the ballot boxes.
always vote against stepping up police presence. Hasn't made a difference, but I'll keep voting. The politicians use the police to keep us in line. I get it. Doesn't make it right. Doesn't make it fair. Doesn't even make for the best use of the police who often do fabulous work fighting real crime.
Well, nobody has killed you yet. I doubt they're throwing you up against any walls. I doubt you're riddled with fear of the powerful police when you drive down the street. I live where you would never choose to live yet I move about with zero fear. How is that possible?
