    Me too! I agree. Cops should be appreciated, like the NYPD captain giving his officers ultimatums to stop and arrest more black people. That's the kind of tough love we need! Blue lives matter!

    I am laughing hysterically at the phrase "the alt right laughs off people like you" consider the "alt right" is literally just a collection of angry man-babies and 4chan trolls.
    Pretty good-looking guy! (Kinda creepy you keep pictures of a teenager on your laptop but such is life!)

    Bootlicking isn't good but neither is hating cops for their actions. You judge Muslims individually but cops as a collective. The left and the right aren't much different nowadays.

    I'm so embarrassed that you were a teacher for a few years and still can't figure out how members of a religion and police officers have a different relationship to a larger collective. Glad that career's over! Blue lives matter!

    Imagine the stupidity required to think that problems in Detroit or Michigan are due to anything but a collapsed industry and inept legislators :'(

    Crime is symptomatic. Crime doesn't "cause" any city's downfall. Blue lives matter!

    Ten Reasons Police Officers are Warriors
    Whether, or not the term "War on Drugs," is accurate is certainly debatable.

    However, here are 10 reasons police trainers need to continue to develop attributes, skills and attitudes of a warrior in every police officer they train:

    1. September 11, 2001: Coordinated attacks in New York, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania killed 2,996. These attacks destroyed the World Trade Center, damaged the Pentagon and caused Flight 93 to disintegrate as it was intentionally flown into the ground, while its passengers courageously attempted to wrest control of the plane away from terrorists. Sixty police officers gave their lives on that day, trying to save others.

    2. November 5, 2009: Thirteen disarmed American soldiers were killed and 32 were wounded in an attack at their home base inside Fort Hood. Two civilian police officers responded, and immediately engaged the shooter in a gunfight that ended the carnage. One of those officers was seriously wounded.

    3. April 15, 2013: Three Americans were killed and 264 were maimed by two pressure-cooker-bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. After the two terrorist-bombers discovered they were being pursued they killed one police officer and eventually became heavily engaged in a gunbattle with other officers. Another officer was seriously wounded in this engagement. One terrorist was killed in the fight, while the other fled. This killer was eventually hunted down and found hiding inside a parked boat. He was captured by police.

    4. May 2015: Two heavily armed terrorists were stopped by Garland, Texas police officers as they launched an attack on a convention of cartoonists. These would-be killers were immediately engaged in a firefight by the lone officer and were both killed. No one else was injured.

    5. July 16, 2015: Four Marines were killed, and a Navy Recruiter and a police officer were wounded in an armed drive-by terrorist attack in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The shooter became involved in a gunbattle with local police and was eventually killed.

    6. September 2, 2015: Fourteen people were killed and 22 wounded by a terrorist husband and wife team in San Bernardino, California. Police officers located the shooters, pursued them and eventually engaged them in a 5 minute gun battle. Both terrorists were killed by the officers.

    7. April 5, 2016: A man screaming “Allahu Akbar!” as he attacked a Jewish man is arrested by New York City Police, who were on the scene immediately.

    8. June 12, 2016: In a heavily armed attack inside an Orlando, Florida nightclub, 49 people were killed and 53 were wounded. Police officers were heavily engaged in this incident from beginning to end saving many. The terrorist was killed in a gunbattle with police.

    9. Local and Federal police officers, thwart and continue to stop impending terrorist attacks across the country through ongoing investigations and interdiction stops.

    10. Police officers are intervening as first responders in terrorist attacks all over the world in places like Paris, Brussels, Beslan, Istanbul, London, Mumbai, and engaging in mortal combat with heavily armed radical Jihadist terrorists, attacking defenseless civilian targets.

    Conclusion
    Many in this nation fail to recognize that believers in a radical Islamic-jihadist ideology are waging a brutal world-wide-war against civilization. This nation is at war, whether one chooses to admit it, or not. The front lines are not just in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria. This is a new kind of war where Americans, dancing in a club, attending a conference, running in a marathon, or sitting at a restaurant can, in an instant, be violently thrust into the front lines.

    When this happens Seal Team Six and the 101st Airborne Division would be very willing — yet unable — to intervene in a timely manner. The warriors who will be thrust into the fight to do battle with this insidious enemy will be police officers.

    So, are police officers guardians, or warriors?

    My answer to this question is unequivocally, "Yes!"

    Go back to what--your teaching job? Sorry bud that ship sailed.
    You realize that this isn't an argument, right? Like, the police are given salaries and legal authority to use force in exchange for them protecting the citizenry. They're supposed to be held to stringent standards; they're supposed to be transparent and accountable. Demanding humane police forces doesn't disqualify someone from requesting their services.

    That said, there are very, very few scenarios in which I'd ever call the police. But I appreciate them!

    Thankfully with the option to defend yourself with a weapon, you don't have to rely on the cops to protect you, right?

    Do you really rely on the cops to defend you? Like on a day-to-day basis, that's how you see your life playing out?
