Not to be off topic but top left is from a show called adam 12 and i recommend anyone give it a watch. Its by Jack Webb (dragnet) and it really sheds light on a lot of the stuff police have to deal with on the beat. Its a scripted show but every episode is based off real calls just like dragnet.

Nah, I'm pretty sure it was around the time our military industrial complex started selling surplus military commodities and they toppled a couple towers in NYC and established an office if homeland security that coupled the two forces. The nibbas don't help it. But they have slowly diminished as a culture since the advent of the welfare system.

I blame the war on drugs

And lets be honest..militarized police are for use against a patriot resistance.

You guys may not like this, but the war on drugs started with Marijuana. Harry Anslinger, President Hoover, and W.R. Hurst started it all. One of the first mass Hollywood/media lies, "Reefer Madness" that led to a national outcry to ban Marijuana. It was about control, money, and the ability to sway a population of people through disinformation.

Policing is needed because of violent crime.

Violent crime in the US has a statistically obvious source.

Most people on this forum aren’t ready to put those two ideas together.

What was the comment? I hate what happened to Blacks but I don’t think Dems are all to blame.
