You can't arrest the top cop in a city/state. No authorization. They're the ones in charge of how arrests are processed.

Assuming the left dont steal the election, does anyone think trump will have these DA's, mayors and whatnot arrested for dereliction of duty? Open and shut cases. Minus the corruptive elements in the system.

He should, but even his DOJ has similar issues with follow-through.

Yeah, but if Trump wins and we win the house and senate. Trump will be able to get a real DOJ. He could fire Barr and others and get Tom Fitton or someone to replace him.

I've watched the riots for many nights for many hours. It's not as easy as "just arrest them", even though it should be. Firstly, they are usually vastly outnumbered w/ hundreds of these freaks everywhere. They don't have the resources to handle most arrests. Secondly, the local prosecutor is on the side of the rioters! He drops the charges immediately and the criminal is back the very next night.

It's a shitshow.

They want that. The whole idea was to force Trump's hand and then play the victim vs the fascist. He out smarted them and pretty much let them have their temper tantrum like a child trashing his own bedroom. The rioters are making new Trump supporters with every night of their bullshit.

Don't even arrest them at that point. Identify the scumbag, get a few like-minded cops, wait till scumbag's parents are at work and then leave a bloody mess in the basement. Follow the money trail that funded the scumbag, and repeat.

popcycle 4 points ago +9 / -5

it's not 'being a cuck', it's following orders. the anarchist front is on the other side of the lines. the moral cowardice is safely ensconced high up and well behind the lines, as usual.

the orders may therefore be lousy orders, they may be unconstitutional and they may be completely foolish, but unfortunately they are still orders.

quitting is an option but remember, the officer on the street faces chaos and lawlessness and evil on every work day. shots fired, someone's dead, police called, twenty people around and no one saw nothing. children raped or beaten to death. whole families shot in home invasions.

the average policeman on the street 100% knows that the thin blue line is real and he is part of it, otherwise he wouldn't stay on the job at all.

quitting is for chiefs and staff who suffer a little political embarassment and bail out before their public-office aspirations take too much damage.

It's not so easy to just resign. This is their career and they need to pay the bills. What these guys should be doing is trying to transfer out of the city into the suburbs or relocating.

BadManOrange 3 points ago +18 / -15

and it's easy to say when it's not your career, your spouse and children, your house, your money. Some people may say screw it and quit... good for them. However, I can also see where someone will just go to work, try to avoid trouble and in the meantime try to find a way out. Someone who just follows unjust orders and finds no issue with it are the bigger problem. I think most of these officers are just hoping (maybe unrealistically) it all blows over and they can just get back to how things were. There's a reason why police unions across the country are supporting Trump in huge numbers.

You're getting downvoted for having a different opinion. Great to see this place is just as much of a shithole echochamber as regular reddit.

These police have a sense of duty. If they weren't out there protecting the streets, the entire city would literally burn down. It would be like an actual purge. "Just arrest them lol." That is incredibly difficult when the police are outnumbered 10 to 1 and have to protect the city for the entire night. These people aren't superheros, they CAN DIE OUT THERE if they get swarmed.

Unless they can start using less than lethal tools to truly get the crowds under control, keeping the riots contained is the best they can do. And they're heroes for that.

Personally, I can handle a defunded police force better than 99.999% of people so if they just do crap like arresting people who defend themselves, go ahead and defund/abolish. I'd rather have cops who can follow the constitution, if they can't it wont be that hard to defund their asses nowadays.

the lords caliber .45

Years ago, I was trying to decide between .45 and 9mm. I liked the fact that I could have a lot of rounds in a 9mm clip, but I kept seeing these news stories of criminals taking a half dozen 9mm rounds and not dying. .45 it was.

3
Oldguard08 3 points ago +3 / -0

Nothing wrong with 9mm with the right round and shot placement, however at close range .45 is just nasty 🤷‍♂️ Check out some lehigh defense rounds if you reload or you can get them from underwood ammo preloaded

Police in Portland willfully let all of this shit happen for months and they still haven't done anything about the people who are causing trouble. The Portland police let those people run wild and burn down the city and then they complain like they were completely helpless to prevent it. Typical government employees, do nothing, collect massive salary and benefits and then act like it someone else's fault when the shit hits the fan. Worthless, do-nothing ingrates. The riots in other cities and the forest fires never would've happened if police in Minneapolis, Portland and Seattle had been willing to do their jobs instead being cowards who retreat in the face of perceived public opinion and limp wristed sissies like Ted Wheeler. That faggot Ted Wheeler bosses these cops around and they do exactly what he says like total bitches. If they don't like the results of their willful compliance with faggots its nobody's fault but their own.

The police would arrest people and then have the DA set them free to riot the next day. The mayor would order them to stand down and they'd have their ass in prison if they violated some asswipes rights, never mind what was done to the cops.

They're trying their best not to let this get worse, the problem is that the people at the top need to come down for them to be able to do their jobs.

Except in many instances the problem isn't the law, it's the uneven application of the law. Changing laws won't matter if no one is prosecuted. So vote for a new DA right?!?! You don't know what you get until after you vote for it. Politicians don't have their MPG plastered on the window before purchase. When it comes to elected officials, YMMV. They can run on one message and do a 180 once in office and there isn't much you can do about it. If the 2A isn't for killing corrupt and/or treasonous officials then what is it for? I think we're well past the line the founding fathers would have drawn in the sand.

If someone holds a picture of your wife and kids in front of you like that, threatening them, you take your baton, or whatever you’re armed with, and you cave their fucking skull in. Your brothers and sisters in law enforcement can then make a choice, do they then arrest you after witnessing that, knowing it will be them next, or do they stand with you, prepared to go as far as dragging Mayor Wheeler out of his safe little enclave, and putting him down for his role in this. Police have the weapons, they have the numbers, they have federal support, if needed - the only thing they lack is the spine.

This is why they're trying to abolish the cops and burn down the courthouses. Because they know that law and justice holds our society together.

A few years ago I interacted with someone who turned out to be an AntiFa member over a legal issue (he was asking for criminal law advice). He didn't like my explanation of the law, so he and his friends sent messages to my employer (I was in-house) telling the executives that they knew where their children went to school and were going to kill them if they didn't fire me.

Governments exist by consent of the governed. When a government has failed so utterly as the Portland city government has, they are no longer legitimate. When citizens must band together to protect themselves, the government has failed. When laws are flouted and cops are directly to ignore lawbreaking, the government has failed.

There is no virtue in leaving a failed government in place. “I was following orders” is no defense when the orders are illegitimate or come from an illegitimate government.

The proper action from the cops is to arrest the DAs, the city council, and the mayor.
