Seems like an unsafe situation. We should really get the people living in that tent city into housing.

Gear sends a message. When you equip a person for war, it puts their mind in a war-like mentality.

Now I'm not saying don't let them have guns and kevlar under their shirts.

But we need to get away from BDUs with Tactical vests being the "norm". We're not in Afghanistan.

Say what you will about Troopers, I actually like their normal uniforms. Except that one dude in the Black surburban, again, that is dressed like he's in the ARMY.

Northeast CU and DCU are excellent banks to do your business with. Super pleased with both of them.

>People's are upset because cops killed a kid during a situation which at a glance does not appear to be life or death.

Based on what?

If you default on any loan at DCU, you'll be getting a call from my Dad.

Finally, an issue that this Reddit community can unite behind! Let's do this.

Well now he has a home, the System works!

/s

This is great news . Hopefully they can get it through. Will probably include some exceptions…

Yeah, a conspiracy is definitely what I’m assuming this is

Massive, federal level shit

Blow your mind, stg

The monadnock coop has a cafe area

Gear? Who cares.

Training? Yes.

More important is liability. There's no excuse for government employees to be able to willfully hurt people and destroy (or even outright steal) their property and then be immune to lawsuits.

LET'S GOOOO

“Emotionally charged language that doesn’t paint an accurate picture” 🤌

When someone mentions “an adult” to you, what do you picture? If it’s teenagers that’s really messed up for a lot of reasons and you should do some reflecting on that. My language there was factual and accurate; a 17yo is a child, a child is who died in this situation, and I hope you’re having a good time huffing tonight because whewww you’re on fire. What’s up next? Are we mad that teenagers get to go to Children’s Hospitals because that’s emotionally charged and inaccurate language to be using? Does it mislead and make people think of only babies with cancer?

I have a 16yo. You know what EVERYBODY around us calls them? A kid or child. Schools, doctors, family, job— literally everybody calls my 16yo a kid/child, so I’m confident my language reflects an accurate picture where children are not adults

Not to mention unconstitutional

1055 people were killed by police in 2021. Only 21 officers faced charges. Aka someone feeling like it wasn't justified. That's 1.9% but that's a little flawed because in the case of unjustified shootings many times it's multiple officers facing charges for 1 shooting which would make that an even smaller %. With that said only 1/3rd of officers who are charged are found guilty of an unjustified shooting which means at best 0.6. So I guess I was off by a little bit it's 99.3% ish are justified sry lol

>“It’s not like they shot an unarmed person in the back”

>Do we even know that, Captain Waitforfacts?

From the article:

"Police in New Hampshire shot and killed a person armed with a knife after responding to a 911 call, authorities said on Monday."

So yes, we know the person was armed with a knife.

>Your homeowner/cop comparison is ludicrous, irrelevant, and misleading, and I’m pretty sure you know that.

Nice dodge. You seem to suggest that a person becomes untrustworthy by simply wearing a badge. My question is on point. If the knife wielding person was shot and killed by someone without a badge, would you be as suspicious? It's a relevant question given your argument.

>my cousin died in the lobby of a Wendy’s (where he was told to stay) when the cops fired THIRTY ROUNDS in an open restaurant because an attempted robbery suspect with a fake gun was fleeing.

Assuming that's true, were any of those cops working for the police department involved with this incident? You seem to be vilifying an entire profession for the questionable actions of a select few.

Hope you never need surgery, there are surgeons out there that have committed malpractice, therefore they're all bad or at least presumed bad by your logic.

>every single time the conclusion I come to is “that’s almost never the best or only choice and is often the outright wrong choice

Lives aren't at stake when you're sitting on your ass pondering that.

>If you have more to say feel free, but if it’s more bad faith bullshit like “what if a homeowner had shot the knife wielder?” I’ll be on the bench not playing that game

Nothing bad faith about it. But you've revealed yourself as an irrational person who likely needs counseling. Your personal trauma doesn't make every cop out there an evil person. It doesn't even make the cops in the situation you described at the Wendy's evil people. I doubt any of them had the intent to kill bystanders. That sounds more like bad training, which can be the result of this whole idiotic "defund the police" BS that's going around. It's only going to get worse as the type of sentiments expressed in this thread cause more qualified people to avoid the profession leaving the police to hire any warm body they can find.

Did you reply twice? That's some boomer energy right there. Go adjust your satellite dish, you might get better reception in here.

Oh, it’s you!! Hahahahahhahaa. Go sell a trailer!

1. “It’s not like they shot an unarmed person in the back”

Do we even know that, Captain Waitforfacts?

2. Your homeowner/cop comparison is ludicrous, irrelevant, and misleading, and I’m pretty sure you know that. What if it had been the Papa John’s delivery guy? What if it had been the mailman? What if it had been his dad?

3. I have personal experience with the police killing people under very shady circumstances; my cousin died in the lobby of a Wendy’s (where he was told to stay) when the cops fired THIRTY ROUNDS in an open restaurant because an attempted robbery suspect with a fake gun was fleeing. My cousin got a bullet to his heart, and the suspect got at least one in the back while he was running away in the parking lot. Neither of those men should have ended up dead.

Do I think experiencing that has affected my views on law enforcement? Fuck yeah I do. Before that, this was something horrible and unjust that “happened to other people”. Then suddenly it was happening to me, and I was forced to confront the common brutality that most of us don’t take seriously enough because it’s NOT personal enough. I was already ripping my ACAB kazoo before I lost my cousin, but it shouldn’t take a personal loss for people to pause and say “well fuck, this keeps happening and we need some massive reforms NOW.” I’ve imagined “being the cop who had to choose to end a life” many many times; every single time the conclusion I come to is “that’s almost never the best or only choice and is often the outright wrong choice so Im not sending any thoughts and prayers out to cops with kill counts”

4. If you have more to say feel free, but if it’s more bad faith bullshit like “what if a homeowner had shot the knife wielder?” I’ll be on the bench not playing that game

Works for me. And I don’t have cable. Thanks for asking!

Oh the grammar shame, lol, please, I’ll throw shade where ever I want .

You literally write like a toddler. You shouldn’t be throwing shade here.

Yup. Sometimes there is no choice like a medical emergency when you need to call an ambulance. Then the cops tag along to take advantage of the situation and start roughing people up / making up charges.

Is this sarcastic? I can’t tell.
