Stun guns aren't always effective. You know that, right?

>Don’t ever call municpal employees with guns!!!

911 should have an opt out program for people that want no help when someone either attacks them or is very likely to.

Lots of ACAB'ers here. Like you said, it's more likely the cops acted to defend themselves and protect the lives of others. If less lethal options didn't work or weren't practical given the situation, they did what they had to do. But many/most want to jump to the less likely scenario.

>Don't call the cops when you can talk someone down

So why didn't anyone?

Mental illness isn't curable by just talking to someone. Especially in a crisis. Nothing like other people in this thread vilifying the cops for doing what they're trained to do.

This is incredibly sad. However, maybe more consideration is needed about the actual danger of the situation. The child was a 17 year old boy. Most 17 year old boys I know are taller and stronger than both parents. He had a knife and was being violent, so they called the police. If you believe that a knife is not an extremely deadly weapon, do a Youtube search for knife attacks. There are a LOT of recorded multiple stabbings (fatal ones) by a single person against police. And if you are unsure how a Tazer works, they do not have the same effect on all people. Some can just shake it off. It happens all the time.

But I could be completely wrong and the body cams will show that when they are released.

I'll second (or third) the DCU suggestion. They're reasonable and honest.

The law says the penalty for holding a knife is death on the spot? Weird.

I switched from TD Bank to Northeast a while ago. My identity was stolen and someone tried to withdraw a significant amount of cash from my account in another state. While they phished the account number out of the bank using a fake ID, the bank manager was smart enough to check the signature as well, and called immediately to warn me what had happened. I'll never work with a national bank again, as they won't do any kind of investigation because it's just "too much" work for nothing. Locally, they'll likely take a look into it. It's a total pain in the ass to clean up and lock down.

"The attorney general's office says that the officers encountered the person inside the home and that one officer discharged a stun gun and another officer fired his weapon. The person was shot and has died."

Seriously guys...? One decided that a stun gun was appropriate and the other decided to shoot him dead? Come on.

Where did you read that the kid approached the cops with the knife? I only read that he had a knife, there was no mention of specifically what he did with it.

Join a credit union if your able.

Don’t call police. I could kill a loved one in mortal danger ⚠️ FUCK THE POLICE

Why don't you give cops the benefit of the doubt since 99.9% of the time they are justified. Why assume they did something wrong here? Statistics don't back up this reaction

Cops get weekend-long training events (or have them on the job), always seem to have updated equipment and vehicles, have everything they require for their jobs provided for them, and get to just go home and relax when they clock out.

Teachers have to pay for most of their own professional development out of their pitiful salaries, and have to find time outside of school to do it. They still have hours of making lesson plans and grading papers when they get home at night. They're stuck with 10+ year old textbooks (if they're LUCKY), and have to buy their OWN classroom supplies out of their own pockets, which they can barely deduct on their taxes.

So yeah, cops get all the resources they need and can barely do their jobs. Schools get a pittance, and do amazing work with what little they have. Just imagine if our teachers were paid enough to lower their stress levels a bit, if kids actually had the supplies and support they really need, how amazing our educational outcomes could be?

They want everyone to be on their level so they can feel smart.

Cop simp mother fucker

Why do you want an uneducated populace?

I have heard a few good things about them. I might change to them if M&T doesn't sort their s&&t out. I like Kennebunk, I mostly prefer to have savings at a different bank to keep myself from quick transfers out of it.

I've learned to create healthy barriers for myself, lol.

Not in ACU/Smurf camo. That stuff sucked.

All my Army buddies were super jelly of my MARPAT choices.

Modest Man brewery has nice indoor seating in downtown Keene...and great beer

You do know cops are severely undertrained for their jobs in most aspects right. And attending a rifle or pistol course isnt exactly training either especially when not every course is created equal

I found with service credit union even when I deposit a check on my phone with an app all the funds show available instantly in my total balance. Sometimes it will show a different available balance but I’ve never seen them actually care about that because I’ll go and withdraw cash right away, or bills will process through and they will pay them.

I use them for an estate account, the thing has like $30,000 in it, and it just sits there in a non-interest-bearing account because when I opened it I didn’t know how much money the estate had and I wasn’t going to pay $25 a month just to have an account there.

There were some glitches setting it up that were problematic but they worked it out, my main complaint with them is that they are such tightwads about giving rolls of quarters.

The estate account is in my name even though it’s for an estate. I never roll up and just ask them for quarters, but if I am depositing a check, and I have $20 cash and need two rolls of quarters they are totally willing to give it to me if it’s my account but not so much if it’s an account that I control which makes no sense to me. So far they’ve given me the quarters when I needed them, but really guys? You’re using my dead relative $30,000 and you’re gonna hassle me about exchanging a $20 bill for two rolls of quarters?

Definitely look into DCU. The first 1000 in your savings account earns 6% apy. 0.15% on everything over the 1000. Checking accounts with the EarnMore feature recieve 0.2% apy on everything up to 30k.

If you do direct deposits into dcu and get a dcu auto loan with electronic payments, they also offer a .5% discount on the interest rate.

One thing Dcu uses as a benefit is if you need to use a branch but arent near a dcu location, the website has a locator for Co-Op Shared Branches. Theyre completely separate credit unions but they work together. You can bring your dcu account info and identification with you and deposit or withdraw even if you're out in California on vacation.
