He's unwilling to address the issues in the US police force, including qualified immunity, lack of accountability, us vs. them mentality, covering for bad officers, inadequate training and escalating instead of deescalating situations, militarized police forces, among many others. The whole thing reads like a martyr complex.

"We used to be able to testify in court and we were believed. Now, unless there is video from three different angles, no one cares what you have to say."

Give me a break, juries, judges, and other public servants side with cops 90% of the time and refuse to convict in the face of strong evidence of police misconduct. I know there are good officers on the force, I know a few of them myself and I feel for them because this is undoubtedly a difficult time to be serving on the force. Most of them also acknowledge that there are a lot of inherent problems within the police department, and would welcome changes that make them more honest, accountable, and actually serve the people instead of acting like a gang that covers for its bad apples.

I have much less sympathy for people like this who refuse to see the problems in their own institution and instead blame everyone else.

What is your solution for qualified immunity?

[–]FediNetizen 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

I'm not him, but I can tell you that qualified immunity is just a series of Supreme Court rulings based on their reading of existing legislation, and that what qualified immunity actually does is prevents the officers or their departments for being sued unless it can be shown that they knowingly violated "clearly established law" (a lot of great info on the whole situation here).

Fixing the civil issues is a step in the right direction, but there are other promising reform proposals, such as making officers carry malpractice insurance similar to how doctors do, and so the ones that repeatedly screw up end up with unmanageable premiums and get priced out of the profession.

I've supported the idea of malpractice insurance for police since at least Occupy in 2011. Made a sign and everything! It's a market based approach that should garner support from the fiscally responsible right, the ACAB left, and the insurance industry lobby, but any time I bring it up peoples eyes just glaze over. I guess insurance is just that boring.

[–]KennyLogins 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I guess what I'm wondering is whether or not people thing immunity needs to be removed completely. We basically have 3 potential levels:

  1. Complete Immunity (obviously a poor choice)
  2. Partial Immunity (meets certain qualifiers)
  3. No Immunity.

I just don't see how 1 or 3 can work. I think the solution is to keep working on the qualifications under option 2. I'm no attorney, so I'm limited to what I can even start to suggest. But when I read other average people like myself who write about the topic, they seem to think option 3 can work. To me, option 1 is ridiculous and option 3 is easily gamed. Think about organization like Scientology who overwhelmed courts, option 3 lends to this very thing.

I'm out of my comfort zone here and don't have a solution myself. I just don't see how it can be option 3.

[–]FediNetizen 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Qualified immunity isn't the only thing protecting cops, and removing qualified immunity wouldn't put us in #3, it'd be a version of #2.

Specifically, qualified immunity is for when a police officer did violate someone's rights, but didn't do so under "clearly established law". While that might sound reasonable on the surface, in practice, it creates cases like this, or cases like this

This is what the globalists want.

No one can arrest them for their crimes if the cops all quit.

They'll use their 300,000 man "contact tracing" stasi to deal with any dissent.

[–]Aureus 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I'm concerned with this trend as well. The police with principles will all leave, and then everyone who signs up will only be in it for the paycheck.

[–]PencilPusher55 13 insightful - 3 fun13 insightful - 2 fun14 insightful - 3 fun -  (12 children)

I am ashamed of this society. Useful idiots have ushered this in. Full force. Thinking these fucking clowns will go down as revolutionaries or freedom fighters for torching their own neighborhoods, protesting police even though statistically whites are killed by cops more despite blacks commit disproportionately higher crime. Fuck. Let them destroy themselves.

Well thuggish pigs with no respect for anybody and a hard-on for the power trip of being legal thugs have SOMETHING to do with it.

I don't know why you find it that surprising we would disagree on stuff. So far it seems like our only point of disagreement is "the jews".

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (8 children)

Which means, to sum it up, the cause of all the rot in the world. Not a small thing.

[–]FediNetizen 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

You think Jews are the ones fucking things up for everyone else? So it would follow that if all Jews disappeared and went to heaven or something, the rest of us here on earth would make the world a significantly better place?

[–][deleted] 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (6 children)

Oh, definitely. But that's not the solution.

[–]FediNetizen 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

It wasn't Jews pushing the CIA to covertly overthrow governments in South America and the Middle East if we believe it "served our interests".

It wasn't the Jews that orchestrated the communist revolutions of the early 1900s, or the ensuing mass deaths.

The world is fucked up because humans, and not just Jews, are selfish, and when they can get away with it a lot of them will screw over other people for our own benefit. And we have power structures that tend to attract these kinds of people.

Why do you think Jews are uniquely worse than others in this regard?

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Oh no. It WAS Jews behind the South American things. It WAS Jews behind the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. Jews simply ARE uniquely worse than all others, since their religion is the worship of a non-divine being. It is so because after the Fall from Eden, there are people who decided, willingly, wittingly, and knowingly, to adopt Satan as their god, for themselves and their descendants for eternity. Today, they are united in their worship of the sovereign of slavery.

I can't tell if you're trolling or being serious here. That's 2020 for you I guess.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

nah he's right. jews run CIA. And definitely obviously ran bolsheviks. Why continue to deny it.

A fun reminder from CaptainTheSlappy, concerning the state of affairs:

/u/Horrux

Quote:

Keep it short and sweet with devout atheist zionists:

Proclaim Jesus Christ your Lord and Saviour, here and now.

Only 5 groups will REFUSE to do it:

1- Zionists (devout atheists...they hang solely on the magic of evolution and eugenics, harping about "race" constantly, and how Catholics ARE NOT A RACE, but Jews and Zionists ARE a race ((note how they tie that together)).

2- Muslims (but they will tell you they recognize him, so this is not a problem, and they are technically not on this list) /u/Azaad, you're cool.

3- Freemasons (obviously)

4- Orthodox Jews (but, like muslims, they believed in Jesus Christ just one whole helluva lot...enough to kill him, so there you go, but they do have common sense, and don't want zionists trying to get them killed all the time)

5- Agent (of some various corporation) like Mark Shouldice or Alex Jones.

If you get bored, go ask Kent or Eric Hovind why they are using a FREEMASONIC CALENDER to do their whole religious schtick.

Place your bets on how many times ZERO people answer your question. BINGO! WE GOT A WINNAH HERE BOYS!

Now the only HILARIOUS thing, that really blows my mind, is how ALL the groups absolutely HATE Scientologists... accept for maybe JOE ROGAN.

They happen to be better at strong-arming than all the others combined. We call that a cardinal sin of "Jealousy" or "envy".

Well...Catholics do, I guess.

This is why I will eventually give up, and join the Raelians, because of all the naked hot chicks hanging out in Hawaii. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG THERE MAN!

So...none of this was actually difficult.

Insert another Credit to play again?

^ ^ ^ Of course it wasn't all Jews, only a very small majority. And to make the case here: there were many Zionist Jew persecuted by the Bolsheviks, Jew or non-Jew. However, the religious Jews in Russia were treated far better than the Orthodox Christians and Cossacks who were destroyed by the Check of whose many leaders were initially Jews. I hope you take the time to read this, but to say I only blame Jews and nobody else, as many contend, is simply wrong. I also invite you to read my compilation post on Solzhenitsyn where he details the Judeo-Russian relations.

First, and so should you too /u/Horrux, watch these videos:

https://invidio.us/watch?v=SNnjW12iL7I

https://invidio.us/watch?v=x_trvInrx7U

https://invidio.us/watch?v=scoRMyxlAic

https://invidio.us/watch?v=7c4dDph6sFg

https://invidio.us/watch?v=XplRfrnF6qM

When you watch them, don't really watch them, pause and read them, all of the documents and books that are displayed in the video. The poor editing, weird graphics and music is an inside joke by the creator. The ignorant will shut the video down just because of the editing alone, but these videos are about pausing and reading the material, only a few people have the time or capacity to do this. You might learn something, because this is the truth of the world, that nobody WILL EVER teach you, and I mean that sincerely.

Respectfully, I do not think all Jews are demons, in fact a Jew can renounce and follow Christianity and Yeshua's way as Vanunu, a former Israeli Jew turned Christian, has done. I would love to hear your take on Vanunu and his thoughts on Israel.

Let it be known, that it is not just the criminality of billionaire Jews and non-Jews but also the neofascist Freemasons, most of whom are not Jews but, nevertheless, work with the Roy Cohn, Trump and Likudnik crowd who are a detriment to everything respectable and democratic. You might want to read some older 18th and 17th century books, books that few people read, but which clearly spell out the conspiracy concerning the founding of the United States Corporation. And truly, to play devil's advocate, there is also a conspiracy against the conspiracy. That of communism against Fascism. That of the Bavarian Illuminati (although said to be founded in 1776, charter documents prove it to be much older) against Continental Freemasonry and wealthy Jews and Freemasonry against Catholicism; or English Freemasonry, for a time, against French Freemasonry.

The conspiracy is that everything of state and country is a corporation–something mainstream history books will never tell you–for if they did, they would have to admit that contracting with the corporation is VOLUNTARY. It certainly is, nobody has to pay taxes to the fictional state corporation or a federal corporation if he renounces his privileges and membership, but tell that to the ignorant lower-tier officials, tell them this, and they will call for your arrest. But isn’t that just a natural outcome? For the people forgot their rights long ago, they forgot their history and would rather be consumers and expropriators then anything else.

They will gladly spit on everything that is true as the bureaucratic simpletons they are. Of course, you can set up a supreme court hearing with your own take on the old republic laws, as it is YOUR CHOOSING, and you could easily state your case, under common law, and possibly win, that is, if you know for sure you are not contracting with the corporation. This is why I often talk about Game Theory. For it is the corporate lawyers, members of a corporation, whether, the Masonic Corporations or the Federal Corporation or your state corporation whom all use game theory to scratch each others backs or stay one step ahead of their opposition. Yinon Oded and the Likudniks plan 30 years in advance as game theorists. The Masonic brothers do the same for the money flow of their corporation. And so too, do the Jesuit Military orders who are staunchly against Freemasons. That's how it has worked from times beginning.

Now, it must be said, that they need to have your consent, either by voting or by other means, for their OWNERSHIP of you as fictional person. That's right, your owned. You have a bank account, look at your name, is it in capital letters? that's your fictional person. And, no, it wasn't solely the Jews that did this, it was powerful men who wish to control people and use them as capital producers and fee generators for themselves.

This is why you have a birth certificate. This is precisely why they want everyone to vote.

Ignoring the fact that the popular vote has zero impact on who is elected as executive officer for the UNITED STATES Inc., solely determined by the electoral college which is another corporation, voting is a contract allowing yourself to become a product of the corporation.

Congress is also incorporated. They themselves, the house and senate, who are contracted into the corporation by the serfs, us, are members and officers of the Federal corporation. They are not a government of the people, for the people, and by the people. Only in the most distorted sense can this be misconstrued.

In brief, all masonic lodges are corporations, ie. fiction persons. All the brothers are members of these masonic corporations, this is proven by 18th century charters granted by the United States Federal Corporation. Your country, your state, your town and even your local village is a corporation, endowed to and by the Federal corporation. Who set this up? Both Jews and non-Jews. But more specifically, Freemasons, of whom looking through my catalog of the northern and southern masonic jurisdictions of masonic members, only a small percentage are Jews. But are all Freemasons involved, certainly not.

But , nevertheless, what they, the Likudniks Jews and Fascist Freemasons both agree on, is their hatred for Feudalism and especially the Pope and Catholicism. The latter preached fraternity and liberty for their masonic brothers and their corporation whilst expropriating assets and the common person's labor for themselves.

The constitution in its initial stages was created for this reason: not for the people, those laborers and tillers who work long hours with little rest and little pay; not for duty to the spiritual and religious state, as had existed in feudalism; but for the land speculators, the bankers, the corporate lawyers who set-up a protection racket corporation, as they always do, to protect their assets of which they used the tiller and laborer to produce. Jefferson, as a deist and one who was curious of the Bavarian Illuminati, (not withstanding the Illuminati's stance on relinquishing private property - an ideology similar to communism and that of Weishaupt's hatred for all organized religion) created the Bill of Rights and pushed it through to counter the Freemasons at the constitutional convention that wanted ownership of your life. That is, when you are born and contract through various means, unbeknownst to you, a tacit contract is written and thus you become owned by the corporation. I could even, through providing historical sources on the United States, prove that the US has always been a masonic corporation. Today, however, stands an even more dire situation, that the corporation has, through conniving corporate lawyers, superseded the Bill of Rights as we know it. But this piece of paper has always been of little concern to the power elite, for one can see the egregious actions the Federal corporation has perpetrated since times beginning. Jefferson was one man; and even he himself was fallible.

The Judeo-masonic link, and there is a link, has been on the decline. That is, the Freemasons have slowly declined in membership, whereas the Likudniks, Zionist and Judeo-corporations have all but increased. This is clearly evidenced by 9/11 being planned and orchestrated by the Neocons and Likudniks who instead of being arrested or put on trial were brought into high positions of power or retired on pensions or taught ethics at universities like Bill Kristol did. Of course, I don’t deny that the present day power elite is just wealthy Jews, though, it cannot be denied that they do dominate media and banks, there are non-Jewish power elites as well, including Jesuits, Catholics, Freemasons, Skull and Bones members (not Freemasonry but its own corporation) and many others.

Washington was a Freemason, and in his memoirs and other writings make it quite clear that he isn't a president of a country for the PEOPLE, but an executive officer for the federal corporation. That is why I continually tell Libertarians these things, because they are ignorant of all this. They believe that the US was found in the interests of the people. They know nothing of history and the true founding of the US. And like most 21st century payster Truth Inc. conspiracy theoreticians who push disinfo. they are markedly notorious for spewing the falsities that Freemasons are the Illuminati, or the Illuminati are the Templars or the Jesuits are the Freemasons, blah, blah, blah. And don’t forget it, Freemasons built this corporation.

It's more than just Jews control the world. You do a great disservice to the true machinations of the power elite who base everything on capital and money flow via incorporated societies. A specific Jew, of course, plays a role.

All I ask for is a just, democratic corporation. One that doesn’t bailout billionaires and steals our labor. The corporation has ALWAYS existed. Is Britain a monarchy? Nope, it has been a corporation since the 13th century. Is Israel a state? Nope, it is Israel LLC.

It can be a good platform for some figures that won't get a hearing elsewhere. You can find the article elsewhere, on smaller sites, and it will have the same content. It's silly to dismiss an article without reading it because of the site it's published on.

But rt.com is a lot of Americans in America writing about actual American news. This is an American police officer telling his story. What's Russian about this? You know why people like Rick Sanchez works there? Larry King? Lee Camp? Because there are no decent US-based journalism organizations.

Sorry, that is just A FACT.

[–]Jesus 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Rick Sanchez works their now because he said live that Jews run the media. That's why.

RT is still propaganda, at least the headline news is and the stuff that comes out of Russia but there are non-affiliated American journalists that work for RT who do good work. Plus they feature indepedent documentaries such as 'The Lobby'.

[–]wrongthink 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

The way propaganda outlets like RT, BBC, ChinaDaily, FoxNews and CNN work is that over 90% of what they publish is verifiable fact. This gives them cover for the articles that are blatantly false.
