  They voluntarily gave up that right when they took on the responsibility to tackle crime.

  Sadly, police have no legal duty to protect or help anyone. https://prospect.org/justice/police-have-no-duty-to-protect-the-public/

  That’s a societal issue that the government needs to take action on, in my opinion.

  That's very, very difficult to do in the US without running afoul of the first amendment.

  It's actually not as far-fetched as it sounds.

  Before the feds stepped in, civil rights lawyers and California residents had been pleading for then-Attorney General Kamala Harris (now a U.S. senator) to open an independent investigation into the situation, since it spanned several police departments and involved allegations of coverups. During this same period, Harris was on a showy and unconstitutional crusade against executives at Backpage, claiming they were complicit in the sexual exploitation of teen girls. A judge dismissed the charges against Backpage execs while chastising Harris for her overreach; Harris responded by refiling nearly identical charges in another California court. But she never responded to the petitions and pleas asking her to look into systemic sexual exploitation by state agents in Oakland.

  Have they ever claimed they don't read your Google documents?

  I don't think racial discrimination in contracting is a good idea.

  If you start talking about guns during a traffic stop, you might have a better chance of not ending up face down on the pavement. On the other hand, you definitely have a better chance of lying face up in the morgue. Feel free to make your own calculations.

  In what way does detaining someone not take away their freedom?

  Did you reply to the wrong comment? Because I didn't say it doesn't.

  You're ordering a specific driver, which is not the same thing as ordering any driver of a specific ethnicity.

  Why would competent police need to be reminded of it?

  It wasn't my idea, I was responding to this: "Your time would be better spent telling the cops [Florida is a Constitutional Carry state now]."

  No federal crimes were committed in jamming those spike strip remote controls

  That's incorrect. Jamming radio signals is banned by federal law.

  I’d say that cops should get used to working among an armed populace. After all, it’s the law.

  Sure. The question is, what is to be gained by reminding police of this during a traffic stop or other interaction?

  I could care less what the well-armed coward with the badge is afraid of. As I said before – if you’re too scared, wait until you have a job where you have to face accountability.

  Unfortunately, they might deal with their fear by shooting first and not bothering with the questions.

  That's not true. Whether this particular incident was justified or not, police can sometimes detain without arresting. https://www.dozalaw.com/what-is-the-difference-between-detained-and-arrested/

  You think implying to a police officer that you might have a concealed weapon is going to improve your chance of survival?

  Your denial of the basic fact that words and phrases can have multiple meanings doesn't have any effect on the reality that the rest of us can perceive.

  What does “obsolete” even mean here?

  It means out of date - not unusable as some people seem to think. For example I have a plasma TV that is obsolete, but it still works perfectly and I use it regularly.

  The student filed suit.

• On the post: Another Report Undercuts The Constant Narrative That US Crime Rates Are Out Of Control

  

  nasch ( profile ), 24 Aug, 2024 @ 08:58am

  Rudi got in office and reduced the crime rates dramatically with policing and prosecuting crime.

  The problem with that narrative is that crime also went down in cities that didn't make changes to their policing and prosecution practices.
