I agree 100% that we need better police officers. Some of us were sitting around the MP barracks drinking a few beers. Every so often one guy would hit himself on the leg as hard as he could. Finally someone asked why. He said he had hurt his other leg and was just balancing out the pain. He was going to be a civilian police officer upon discharge. But how do we get better officers? What would it take for most of you reading this to accept the job?
Taking the job today is really crazy to me depending on where you are. In some places (liberal infested) there is just no way I would do it. First arrest would have me in jail probably. The restraint one would have to have would take some serious training and self-control. These days, I have no patience for idiots and morons so...
 
If being a police detective paid 75% what I make now I’d do it in a heartbeat.
I don't know what you make and am not asking, but what will the good candidate have to make to be willing to take the risk and hassles involved? I have only been military police and that was many years ago, but back then, you did not start as a detective. You put in time and work to reach that job.

I'm bored as shit and need some excitement. So the risk and the hassles are the up side.

But yes, I'm aware I can't start as a detective. Hence another reason I wouldn't want to do the job.
 
It’s easy to name call and demean than to actually empathize and work on the solution.

The scenario I described above were Trump voters and living in a county that carried Trump by 40 points.

There’s absolutely ways to improve your standing, but there’s also things that are outside of our control that keeps people down.

I really want this fixed and if Trump can do it or begin the foundations to fix it, I’ll vote republican the rest of my life.
Nobody cares whether or not you vote or for whom. We don't need your vote, Commie.

And you're insulting people on this thread, stop acting like you're pure as the driven snow.

Funny story. A fellow cop got drunk at the NCO club. He loved Frank Sinatra and the band would not play him a Sinatra song, so he took over the stage and started singing Sinatra songs to the crowd. The police captain took me and another guy off our security posts because we knew him. He gave us a pick up truck and told us to go get him. When we got there he was singing My Way. We walked on stage and each grabbed an arm and walked away with him, with him struggling and saying let me go. We got him outside in the night air with him still demanding we let him go. We looked at each other, then both released him at the same time. He immediately passed out and fell to the ground. We tossed him in the back of the truck and drove away.

I’ve not insulted the first person. I’ve had some good discussions and learned quite a bit. Seems like several people have great ideas for the economy, but COL remains a problem. It’s interesting to hear how others tackle that sort of thing.
 
What did I say that was hyperbole?

Don't @ me; I'm not interested in your my side vs their side, "I'm just here to listen and learn from new perspectives."

It's never been easier than the hear and now; your socialist ideals can't fix anything and have only ever made things worse. There is no greater enemy to the working class than people who think they can fix society and all its ills with other people's resources.

I do hope you learn how to have a sophisticated conversation with your old man. That;s all I got for you, hope you used my advice and it helped.

Bigger enemy of the working class are people who downplay their struggles and side with the billionaire class. The collective majority would be much better off uniting and taking back the wealth that has been stolen from us.
 
I still can’t believe there are people dumb enough to believe Biden wasn’t going to pardon Hunter, and stupid enough to argue the prosecution for a couple of his throwaway crimes, coupled with an attempt to immunize him from prosecution for every other crime he committed, was evidence the DOJ was not biased.

Truly stupid, stupid people on the left.
It’s the same people who argued the economy was great and the border was secure (but also - in the same breath - the border is only open because of Trump).

Two favorite arguments from our own Sambowie. Worked well.
 
Sure you arent. You only type exactly like him and showed up a day or 2 after he was banned. Why not just admit you are Dion? I got banned one time and made another account...I didn't lie about who I was.
Except I am not Dion. I was Sheppard15, but lost my account info. I’ve spent hours on the way back machine trying to find a post without luck. I had a picture of Dickey V in a Duke dress as my picture and location was Monticello.

I saw a news headline that said calls to schedule a Vasectomy's went up 1200% the day after Trump won the election. Thank the lord those clowns won't be reproducing.

If Trump wanted to cement himself as an epochal leader like FDR, he would attempt sweeping reform in areas that are hindering young people’s futures. He’d do something about private corporations buying up housing. He’d pass even greater tax breaks for married people who have children, paid for by slashing waste. He’d get government out of the student loan business and bring back down the costs of sending those kids to college or trades. He would deport millions of illegals who are using up our rental stock, bringing down rents. He’d slash regulations that drive up the cost of nearly every single thing. He would sweep away all the ways that people are incentivized not to get married when they have kids.

Do all this, and young voters would be a lock for the GOP for many cycles to come.

Those private corporations are creating scarcity, a monopoly on housing, and using deceptive practices to buy properties. Lots to prosecute them on, foreclose, and sell to owner occupants at reasonable prices.
 
That's one of the things I was thinking they'd be distracting from with the Hunter obviousness. Didn't want to say it out loud and will be very angry if they do

I never thought anyone would get in any legal trouble for being on that list. But it would be great to know who was on it so we can smear the hell out of their character. If we see names on that pardon list that were suspected of being on Epstein and Diddy list, then we know they are pedophiles and raped and ate kids
 
Here’s the next thing coming: Joe is going to pardon himself and whoever else was in on the money laundering and grifting.

Going to say it’s to protect his family against mean old Trump’s revenge tour.

If Biden knew the laptop was Hunter's (which we know he did), and he and/or anyone with the DNC provided that information to agencies (which we know had that info), and those agencies censored the media (as we already know they did), he wasn't even a legitimate president as he knowingly, fraudulently obtained the office through election interference. Can't pardon anyone for anything if you obtained the office through fraud.

The party siding with the billionaire class is the DEMOCRAT PARTY, dumbass. See Kamala with Oprah, Beyonce, etc.

Sure, but you are dancing around my question as well. Cost of living has gone up exponentially in the past 40 years and wages have not been able to keep up. We can multi task in this country. We can address the issue with wages without creating a population that is dependent on government.

To note, do ditch diggers have to work multiple jobs just to survive? Why can’t a man work an honest 40 hours and be able to survive independently?

You can. I did it for years.

Now can you do it with all the creature comforts, gadgets, and entertainment that you’re used to under mommy and daddy’s roof? Likely no.

Seems most younger generation today want a continuation of the level of lifestyle they had under their parents when moving out but don’t understand it likely took their parents years and years to get to that point themselves.
