Private security good for dem politicians but no security for the people

[Beach Ball Bitch]

Ah, brilliant... let’s defund the police while the squads makes sure they are safe because their life is more important than the people’s! Spending your hard earned tax dollars on private security.

[6-eyed]

This level of hypocrisy is nothing new.

Gun control advocates who rally to repeal the 2nd amendment are frequently seen with armed security.

after reading that article, i really hate that cunt (never heard of her before now). that said, with the current state of US politics, i would pretty much expect any of these shitbag national politicians to legitimately need armed security.

I was pretty much going to say this. Politicians are more and more often reaching out to the fringes for votes. These people, both left and right, are crazy. The Capitol riot thing was a fair example of this. There are undoubtedly left wing examples also. Sooner or later assassinations are going to happen. And it's weird, I really don't give a damn.

On and this Cori Bush. Homicides in her district are up Over 50 percent.... and guess who is most effected and who is mostly doing the killing? But white people are to blame and no consequences because you know, prisons are racist and target black ppl. .... no prisons, no jails, no ice either... along with the no police. No guns either.

and now we have librarians being tried and trained as first responders and offering training in de escalating tactics being offered there to the people to learn how to hug a perpetrator with a gun or knife. Cops can’t help you, maybe you can deal with it.

how is this a bad thing though? trauma informed care training is not about hugging a perp with a knife, it's about understanding where someone is coming from when they act out and trying to consider that when deciding how to respond to the situation. what is your solution? if someone is having a bad day, cap that fucker?

When I look into the matter hinted at in the thread title (dems wanting to defund the police) it seems a false claim by (mainly) republican politicians (nice for a change the alt right internet movement didn't invent it, although as we can see they are eager to embrace and run with it it without proper fact checking).

[Beach Ball Bitch]

Wonder if you looked into this. I think not.

[SpaceMan]

pretty obvious from his post he didnt look into shit...just trolling as usual

Only superficially but it does appear its not something the democratic party is going for as much as republicans claim. If you have looked into this maybe you can show some indications that they actually are Thanks in advance of course!

Undies you really think that de escalating tactics and training will make everyone capable of defusing a situation? A librarian? Guy comes in with a knife, talk him down because librarians will be calm and listen... not fuck things up and say the wrong thing. Librarians demeanour is not suited for this and furthermore this training is more about crt bs than anything. It isn’t in their job description either. Librarians don’t become librarians in order to deal with crisis situations.

more capable than they were before the training. and no, not everyone, but the more people who are capable of it, the better.

how many knives do you think get pulled at the library? when that happens, absolutely call the police. but when the crazy homeless guy who came in to use the internet starts shouting at the walls, i'd much rather the librarian knows how to handle it rather than have the police come and shoot him.

you can't really say librarians demeanor is not suited; librarians are people and each one is different. i'm not sure exactly what their job description says, but i think it should be understood that librarians will have to deal with the public who uses the library.

i didn't get my job to deal with crisis situations either, but i had to get trauma informed care training anyway, because things do come up and it's better to be slightly prepared to deal with it in a constructive manner if possible. and no, they didn't say anything about race in the training.

like i said in the other thread (somehow this discussion ended up in the wrong one, oh well), the article itself was written from an excessively race based perspective. but that doesn't necessarily mean that training public employees to deal with the public is done because white people bad.

Well put.

SpaceMan Why in earth do you say that? If you search for it yourself you will see its mainly republicans claiming it, instead of democrat politicians arguing for it or claiming they want it...

I'll be sure to avoid the Gap Of Rohan from now on.

I do not think the critical race theory training makes one capable of dealing with a crisis situation, but that is what their training will be in. That isn’t training, that is brain washing. Is this not what police & doctors are trained to do and is this not what they have specialists brought in to deal with? Doctors often need police to deal with those that come into emerg as well. They don’t need a librarian.

that took about 2 minutes

now lets see if you can find republicans stating they want to defund the police...or in the case of pressley maybe try and find a republican who has tried to legislate it

i fully just expect a gaslight


also fuck the comment character limits
