If cops are willing to follow these orders, they'll follow any orders.

Getting rid of the politicians and flock isn't enough. We desperately need to fix our police forces "it's gonna be hard" ain't an excuse

Honestly you could probably just nuke their funding and let them bleed out, while also raising up militia to fill the void with a blacklist for cops unless they take certain actions. Ideally the militia would have relatively high standards and would be largely disarmed or otherwise equipped with less than lethal gear for daily patrols.

The old cops would form the organized mafia day one after this decision. Disarmed militia would look silly against that.

I was moreso referring to day to day patrol once things stabilized on the old cops have been dealt with, probably should've been more specific but I was firmly in migraine land and still kinda am. No in the immediate the militia should be armed to the fucken teeth as needed, on the rural scale it'd just be a technical or two for dealing with anyone stupid on the more urbanized side it'd be full on hunting the old cops with APCs if they try anything.

These cunts live every day without nearly enough fear of being tarred and feathered. That really ought to change.

Tiral@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 9h

Why would they have fear? How many people watched this happen in person and did nothing? If anyone there had any balls they'd stand up and not let it happen. I guarantee there were A LOT more citizens than security.

The US was founded on action, not petition signatures of how "upset" you are. Until people actually put their perverbial cock on the chopping block, things will only get worse.

ya but if the poors do it its 'terrorism' and when the rich do it it's 'war'

or at least thats how it seems

Bustedknuckles@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 7h

I think it's worse. When the rich do it, it's "Law and Order"

The only way these flock cameras are coming down legally is if people use the cameras against their local council.

Use the various means to get into the cameras or just set up shop outside their comes and note what time they go in and out of their home. Note their children's clothes, what school they go to and their car license plate numbers.

Provide print outs and distribute them at the meeting. Be sure to have them for the news people outside.

Council members think they are special and aren't going to be targeted by Flock. We need to show them that the laws that work for Flock work for us too.

Lol, they'll just arrest you for stalking.

The laws that work for Flock don't work for us too.

The cop said, “You’re under arrest,” grabbed her arms, and pulled her out of the room. “I can do this all night. I get paid by the hour,” the cop added.

Using this against the person whose taxes pay his salary is especially telling. He doesn’t serve this community, he abuses it.

Most police officers don't sign up because they're good people.

Duamerthrax@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 5h

Good people don't make it through police training. The would be good cops are scared off.

they sign up because they would be unhireable elsewhere, even walmart/amazon wont take these people.

habitualcynic@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 4h

I worked for one of these companies and fired a former cop for racial slurs and anger problems.

Springfield, Missouri, USA ↑

(Sometimes because there are so many articles about atrocities/indignities being committed across the country I feel the need to localize for readers who just glance in)

You ever want to talk about a shithole, Springfield Missouri is that shithole.

Take the most conservative hillbillies, midwestern rednecks, people with too much money and no education, racists of every flavor, and Nazis flying their Nazi flags in public.

next time, bring security detail... see if they will approach then.

randompasta@lemmy.today · 18 pts · 5h

I always wonder how many local politicians have been paid off by Flock.
