We, the American people, need to revisit how DC is managed. DC should NEVER be a private club for leftist assholes to rule over without heavy US citizen oversight.

The reason Congress created a federal district for the capital is so that they could control law enforcement in the city where they met. Congress met in Philadelphia at the time, and got surrounded by an angry mob. Local law enforcement refused to disperse the crowd.

Bowser’s orders don’t hold up without people willing to obey them. Back the blue though, right?

Yesssss. I got asked by a republican door to door canvasser (fuck it if it's not a word...) after I explained that me, my wife, and oldest daughter were all voting straight republican:

"I mean, can you believe the left wants to defend the police?"

I said "well... technically, I want to defund the police. Just not law enforcement. The police are hired mercenaries for the city and the mayor. I want them all to be deputy sheriffs. I want them to report up through an elected position that works for the people. They should not be security guards for the mayor and city council"

The Federal reserve has armed police. Not security. Police. Fuuuuck the federal reserve. (Other reasons, too)

The usps has armed police. Wtf. Why?

The irs has armed police. Fucking seriously?

Are we seeing the difference? Police are hired guns to enforce compliance with a monopoly on the right to distribute the death penalty without due process.

I had to have law enforcement respond to an incident at my house. The response was the sheriff and half a dozen deputies. They were the most amazing people on this earth. I am thankful to God that where we lived was not reliant on the police.

Thanks for this perspective, it's a new one for me. I never considered that police chiefs aren't elected like sheriffs are.

I want them all to be deputy sheriffs. I want them to report up through an elected position that works for the people.

I would 100% support a position like this. People forget that a lot of non-urban areas in the US only have a Sheriff's Office, not a Police force.

Heh. I love the couple down votes that are likely a mix of "I'm police. How dare you say I'm a hired gun for the mayor" or "this can't be true but I'm not looking it up"

For the police - not sheriffs or deputies or even state police that report to the governor (still a problem for me, but less so since the national guard does too...):

Tell me - which is the thing you support? Constitution? US constitution or state? Or, pension? Pick one. Fucking one. Choose wisely.

Remember - "seat belt laws are common sense. They are 'add on' we will never use it as a primary infraction. It is not a valid reason to be stopped" - now, tell me - how many of you "keepers of the peace" followed (pension) orders and violated due process to do it?

If you, the other downvote camp option, think I'm wrong... police - one thing. Constable - another role (domestic disturbance, protection for "need to get my stuff but my boyfriend will beat me"), sheriff and deputies (elected and hired), state police (governor's enforcement and awful job of highway fatalities. Also assholes that give tickets. Also, gentlemen who help change tires and help stranded motorists)

There are a few others, but this should help. I dont begrudge anyone's choice. All of these are hard fucking jobs. However, there are two groups that stand alone.

  1. sheriff. Elected. Serves the people. Not the city.

  2. firemen. The actual fucking heros that get no authority. No gun. No power. Only have to be fit, dedicated, and willing to die to save every last person in this country.

Third group that is kinda mentioned. Volunteer firemen. Omgwtf is wrong with you crew? Firemen that do it as a hobby? Love you all and you are the open boots I will always put cash in. Every time.

(I am not a fireman, nor related or really know any. I just understand the sacrifice they are willing to make!)

Lastly, military - I appreciate their service. I also feel the notion of service has been very tainted by "trade gunfire for college"

I understand there is a great degree of patriots not swayed or driven by this. I also understand there is a "do it for the vine" mentality that also tarnishes our military.

Except you, coast guard. Not sure if y"all use "I'm ex-coast guard" to your advantage?

They are the commissioners and mayors henchmen. Sheriffs are voted in and have had a long standing of being for the people.

The DC police have an atrocious reputation, and they've had it for a long time. They're the closest thing to the Praetorian Guard the US has: remember Noodles and her brow-beating the DC police over evidence a few years back? DC Police brass are all plugged into the establishment leadership, and it's not to ensure optimally-smooth policing in the DC area.

THIS is why we need to break down and reorganize the police! If there's a SINGLE police officer who'd follow this order, which breaks their oath they take to put on that uniform, then they're just as liable as the mayor is. They SHOULD be arresting the mayor because "just following orders" isn't acceptable in the USA

As a high ranking member of Congress, he does have a protective detail. Speaker, senate majority leader, and I believe the Whips get protection. It’s very small, though.

Who is going to prosecute? Debbie Wasserman Schultz's brother is Assistant US Attorney in DC. He was instrumental in covering up the Seth Rich murder.

Think Barr is going to do anything? FBI? No one is going to charge the Mayor of DC with anything. We haven't had a functional Judicial System in decades.

wethedownvoted 6 points ago +6 / -0

Prior to municipal fire departments this is how fire brigades used to work. They were privately run and they'd pick & choose who's home to rescue, extort payments on site, be slow about it, real union-thuggery type stuff.

It's just natural for democrats.

redshortz44 6 points ago +6 / -0

Is McConnell known for publicity stunts? If he calls the police, it is likely because there is a threat. Not because he wants to say look how unhinged Democrats are, even the police had to show up. First, the anarchists are not Democrats. Second, we can look at the video and see how violent the anarchists are. I don't think the mayor wants the mob to kill him obviously, but I think she wants to downplay the violence of the mob, and so she might caution police NOT to "get involved' in political matters.

This is why the police should be independently responsible for enforcing the law, and not have to answer to the fucking commie government. Just like the Sherriff. Elected by the people to protect the people. Not appointed by gov't to protect certain gov't.

Can we, like, show up with clown horns and firecrackers and hold a MAGA rally there?

Then, like, if someone starts getting crazy challenge them to a dance off and have coordinated dancers bust out moves and challenge the other side and then post the results?

And also make sure to have peanut and corn vendors walking around selling delicious snacks at affordable prices for the passerby.

Plus a couple marching bands celebrating the night.

I mean, it is gonna be lawless anarchy right? Not a bad thing if you think about it.

Abovethefray 1 point ago +1 / -0

I see the big problem here as being an elected official not worthy of the position she holds.

Fighting with the police is not going to be a winning strategy, there needs to be a accountability at the top. The vast majority of police are plain old Americans doing a job.. and at the whim of the power structure they report to. That is where this crazy anti American shit stems from. Make the leader accountable.
