We Don’t Need Warrior Cops Policing Campus Protests

We Don’t Need Warrior Cops ~~Policing Campus Protests~~
Fixed the headline
- We Don't Need ~~Warrior~~ Cops ~~Policing Campus Protests~~
  Period.
  
  Are you smoking crack? Just when I think people can't get any more liberal than Reddit...I'm introduced to Lemmy...
- Forgot to strike out "warrior" too
  
  It’s a reference to warrior training, linked and explained above - its sweeping police training across the nation to think a candy bar is a reason to shoot a child and leading to misinformation about drugs like fentanyl to make cops have panic attacks at the mere sight of the stuff, sometimes even passing out.
- No, we just need MORE cops, at least where I live...thanks to liberals and their "defund" movement...
  
  The "defund" (aka, the move funding to more effective places) movement didn't get anything done almost anywhere. I don't know a single place where funding didn't end up going up. I'd recommend looking into it yourself, and also checking up on your media literacy to see if you are sufficiently critical of what they tell you to believe.
  The point of the defund movement was actually generally pro-cop, in that cops shouldn't have to do every single job. They shouldn't have to be councilors, mental health care providers, and whatever else. We need all these random jobs to be done by people with proper training. We need cops when we need violence. That's what they're trained to do. We need to increase finding overall, but move some portion of the funding of cops elsewhere.
  Again though, this didn't happen almost anywhere. I have heard of a few places that managed to set up groups that go in to de-escalate and calmly check out non-violent crimes being committed, but it's really rare. I don't think the funding of cops decreased in those places either.
  
  Yeah, it's definitely the fault of the people who are pushing for reform, and civilian oversight.
  Staffing shortages couldn't possibly be because there are tons of cops who didn't want a bright light shined on their horrible, abusive behavior that they have been allowed to get away with, completely unchecked, since time immemorial....
  What we need is to de-fang the police unions, force them into the same collective bargaining pools as the rest of the employees in their municipalities, like all the other EMS workers, and then make them accountable to the civilians they are policing so we find police who actually give a fuck about bettering their communities.

It's like inviting a bunch of drunk frat boys to a house party. They're just gonna show up break shit and rape people
- I don't know why so many people think frat boys are just going to rape a bunch of people. Sure there are some.. but fraternities can also be pretty chill.
  
  I imagine because there's thousands of date rapes reported (a small fraction of the total number since most are unreported) in universities connected with frat houses.
  Sexual assault, abuse and deaths being the primary reasons a lot of fraternity houses are shutdown on campuses.
  But that's just off the top of my head...

Warrior… hahahha wet paper towels with guns.. big fucking mouth in a group or when its a baby with a waterpistol but running in the other direction when it gets really serious. Kinda like trump running in a burning building to save the kiddies Hahahahahaha yeah, no.

Police violence is a non issue for people in power. It is extremely sad.

We Don’t Need ~~Warrior~~ Cops ~~Policing Campus Protests~~ period.
FTFY.
Fuck the police.
- ACAB

Smoke more pork

We Don’t Need ~~Warrior~~ Cops ~~Policing Campus Protests~~

- I think it's a reference to Dave Grossman's (Director of the Killology Research Group) "warrior training".

  What sucks is, “On Killing” was a decent book with some insights worth thinking about, which got him his fame. How he went from there to “all people want to kill you because you’re a cop” has to be a story.
- wArRiOr cops?

Well, it's not like they can call in the National Guard.
/s ;p
- This is a reference that I'm afraid not enough people understand.

Then college administrations should stop calling them so you can blame the police.

Clearly we do. But the children here will never understand that.
- Could you be misunderstanding the purpose of the police? Hint: they're not meant to protect the public
  
  Last I checked, one of their core functions is to prevent trespassing and vandalism.

So, what do the Universities do? Just let them stay there as long as they want?
- I mean, Lemmy lets you stay even though you are annoying as fuck, and nobody brutalizes you for sharing your viewpoints (psychotic as they may be). Perhaps you could put that shoe on the other foot if you could first pull it out of your mouth.
  
  Is this a joke? I'm probably the ONLY person on this entire site that leans Right, and I've been called every name in the book for my opinions because they don't align with the Left....
- Yes. Property is not as important as life.
  
  But not other students lives right? I mean, the whole reason Colombia did what they did was because other students were afraid. More specifically, Jewish students. But, they don't matter, right?
- As long as they're peaceful, then pretty much, yes. A state university where the land is publicly owned (government "owned" property), it sounds like they were exercising their rights to assemble, speak, and petition the government...
  
  But they weren't peaceful, that's the issue. The whole reason the university went in was because the protestors were putting other students at risk, more specifically, Jewish students.
