Yes, I get that you hate the police regardless of how many are good. If there's one bad apple, then people like you hate them all.
I disagree. There's over 660,000 police officers in the US: https://www.statista.com/statistics/...ers-in-the-us/
472 of them died in 2021, this includes suicides and off-duty deaths: https://nleomf.org/memorial/facts-fi...eaths-by-year/
73 were murdered in felonious killings and 52 died in on-duty accidents: https://usafacts.org/articles/how-ma...-line-of-duty/
No doubt all the police haters will laugh and spit on their graves.

Right, I forgot when it comes to any gun related issue or authoritarian issue (i.e., cops) you go MAGA stupid...trying to dodge and cloud the issue with a baseless personal attack.
FYI: my Pop's a retired NYPD Homicide Detective. So I GREW UP with cops and the cop mentality. Among his peers, they weren't thrilled with the issue of the GLOCK as a standard side arm, because (in their words), "it's too easy on the trigger like a toy....accidents are a hell of a lot more likely". Of course, that was his generation...but as my Pop's put it, "a .38 will kill you just as dead as a any other gun used right". Brother, I could relate some stories that would have sitting up at nights. So no, I don't hate cops...I hate lazy, bad & corrupt cops. Capice?
Please explain to the reading audience WTF your little litany has to do with the FACTS regarding police abuse that goes from unwarranted arrest, excessive or unnecessary force, civilian injuries and shootings that were unwarranted?

Yep, I hate it when you go MAGA stupid, because you act like our resident MAGA minions...all supposition and conjecture, dodges, detours, smoke blowing. Case in point, you can't/won't deal with my last response.
Now if you stay true to form, your response here will be more "if this is true then that must be true, so I'm right and you're wrong" BS. Or just some schoolyard insult. Whatever, my man. Whatever.

San Francisco cancels killer police robots after backlash
The decision to table the controversial killer robots comes one week after the city approved the plan by a vote of 8-3 on Nov. 29. The board of supervisors has faced fierce criticism since the vote from civil liberties groups who protested outside San Francisco's City Hall.

A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
