"Piza advised caution on drawing larger lessons from the study and suggested that layoffs don’t necessarily have to lead to higher crime levels if they are done in a more strategic way that allows departments to continue crime-control practices that work."
That quote is from your article, and it was weird they didn't actually link the study they were talking about which was the consequences of purely layoffs. Minneapolis had 100 cops quit and then defunded as a knee jerk reaction to social pressure. They didn't have a plan, and that was always going to go poorly.
Property crime has also gone down in the past year does that mean its proof defunding reduces crime?
JAHpowIt was loaded. It was a glock. Glocks don't have safeties. Tasers have safeties. She would have had to have done a cross body draw to draw the taser. She would've had to flick the safety off on the taser.
These red flags should have registered in her brain... but they didn't. She was negligent. Poorly trained. And couldn't think straight under stress. All around dumb person.
Fire her and toss her in jail.
I will add that this particular incident clearly had nothing to do with race. No matter what BLM/antifa wants people to think.
Agree that it was very likely an accident. However she had 26 yrs on the force if I remember correctly and was training another cop herself during the incident/murder so probably not poorly trained in terms of what is currently taught. Definitely disagree on the race bit though. While it is impossible to be certain seems like if it was a white person acting the same way the whole interaction likely would have gone differently, including when she became so terrified by a black dude resisting arrest (not even fighting back, just trying to get away) that she could mistake her gun for her taser.
zuesLol i get banned from this forum every fucking week. You really think I'd be afraid to ask two dumb white chicks that question? You guys might be dumber than I thought.
Oh yea people lose their life. You know whats not that difficult? Complying with law enforcement even if you've done nothing wrong. We've all been stopped by cops. But only the dumb ones try to run or drive away.
I think later today i'll break into stores and steal shit. Then maybe burn my city down.
Why do I never hear about all these white people dying from cops? That's odd how there's more than double that of any other race ... somehow it's just never on the news?? I'm sure the media has your best intentions in mind.
wait til you find out how many more white ppl there r than any other race
nelesonIDK maan you have to be a different breed of dumb to think a taser is a gun kinda sus imo. I mean you dont just accidentally take out a gun take the saftey off and load it and shoot while thinking its a taser. I mean mabey the gun was already loaded or whatever but even so. If it really was a accident that person was never fit to wear a badge in the first place.
Glocks only have a trigger safety, and I assume police holster them with one in the chamber, but I agree that officer Potter is still stupid asf and deserves a manslaughter charge at the very least.
zuesMore likely the rest of the world has serious issues to deal with. Their media doesn't consistently feed their heads with fake narratives to stir up civil unrest.
dood wut r u sayin. Police in the US of A kill civilians at a way higher rate than any other developed country in the world. We have the highest rate of incarceration in the world! #1 Baby! The rest of the world has more serious issues to deal with because it's literally less of an issue in the rest of the world. Notice I didn't even mention race so keep ur dick in ur pants or riding the police as you so like to do!
zuesLet's defund police, which in turns creates higher crime, which in turns creates more violent crime... OH LOOK MORE VIOLENCE NOW THAN WE HAD WITH A POLICE FORCE IN THE FIRST PLACE. ..... BUT HEY AT LEAST THE COPS WON'T KILL US WE'LL JUST KILL EACHOTHER
That's like blocking an oil pipeline which then forces people to move it via trucks and rail which creates more pollution. AHAHA BOY I LOVE PAYING MORE FOR MY FUEL DON'T YOU??!!!
NOW AT LEAST ONLY CRIMINALS KILL CRIMINALS. SO MUCH PROGRESS.
MAYBE IF WE ALL SIT IN A CIRCLE AND SING KUMBAYA MURDERS WILL STOP.
Don't know y I keep replying to you but those rn't real sources. As someone who lives in mpls I can tell you funding for the police has only increased since george floyd murder. Also defund the police is a very broad term created largely by the media to rile folks like u up. Realistically almost no one is calling for what you think every "snowflake" wants (zero police, no replacement). 99% of ppl who think this is an issue just think policing should b done from somewhat to radically differently (ie better trained/paid cops, less of them armed, less unnecessary military grade equipment and militarized style policing) which if allowed to happen would likely require at least the same amount of funding if not more.

foolmetwicewait til you find out how many more white ppl there r than any other race
I know how many more white ppl there are. But why have I not heard of a single one dying on the news ?
Let’s also add to the fact that when we look at crime it’s oddly in favor of people with less opportunity. In many cases this is unfortunately people who are not white. I agree with that. But is that the cops faults for doing their job when arresting criminals ? Or attempting to arrest criminals who seem to think it’s ok to run.
you can refute all you want the prison population demographic. But do you think that just maybe it might be because people who have less opportunity are unfortunately minorities. Who unfortunately have no other means except to resort to crime. That is NOT THE FAULT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. Maybe it’s your own fault for not doing enough to be proactive about it.
I also find it funny when many many minorities are silenced by the media when they come and call out narrative that’s broadcasted on mainstream media. Why are people like Candace Owens or Clarence thomas never allowed to present their side on CNN?
seems like a fear moffering tactic presented solely by white people who own CNN. But don’t worry. They won’t show you that side of the story on their network.
