soon it will be illegal for you to call 911 when being robbed by a bunch of niggers but the thugs in blue will jump you in broad daylight for not wearing a face diaper.
disband the gestapo fucks, a peoples militia is overdue and would be much better for policing the community.
American cops are honestly more like an army than anything. I am pretty sure George Washington would recognize them as a sort of occupying force. A lot of people don't realize that cops only became a thing like 150 years ago. The way cops operate now is fucking disgusting. And I'm not just talking about shootings n shiet. Like just getting pulled over is really fucked up when you think about it, and it's what leads to MOST of these incidents. Untrained and armed people confronting people by detaining them under threat of imprisonment. Pretty fucking fucked up. We have technology now and should follow China's example of just using cameras for minor traffic violations. Unless someone is posing an outright danger to society, I don't see why they should be detained and questioned by police on the side of the road. -

Also you're an idiot and everything you say is extremely polarized.

2021-04-15 at 6:03 PM UTCA man whose bid to become a police officer was rejected after he scored too high on an intelligence test has lost an appeal in his federal lawsuit against the city.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York upheld a lower court’s decision that the city did not discriminate against Robert Jordan because the same standards were applied to everyone who took the test.
“This kind of puts an official face on discrimination in America against people of a certain class,” Jordan said today from his Waterford home. “I maintain you have no more control over your basic intelligence than your eye color or your gender or anything else.”
He said he does not plan to take any further legal action.
Jordan, a 49-year-old college graduate, took the exam in 1996 and scored 33 points, the equivalent of an IQ of 125. But New London police interviewed only candidates who scored 20 to 27, on the theory that those who scored too high could get bored with police work and leave soon after undergoing costly training.
The average score nationally for police officers is 21 to 22, the equivalent of an IQ of 104, or just a little above average.
Jordan alleged his rejection from the police force was discrimination. He sued the city, saying his civil rights were violated because he was denied equal protection under the law.
But the U.S. District Court found that New London had “shown a rational basis for the policy.” In a ruling dated Aug. 23, the 2nd Circuit agreed. The court said the policy might be unwise but was a rational way to reduce job turnover.

I wonder what Chauvin's IQ is. If I were him I'd use my low IQ as a defense. -
