You can recognize that the two major parties are deeply flawed without deciding that the answer lies in between them. One of the harmful impacts of the two-party dominance in this country is that it's seemingly led many to believe that they encompass the entirety of political possibility.

Many also simply let left or right inform their stance on an issue. Veganism? Oh, that's a left thing, so it's bad.

I wouldnt

Beach or swimming pool only

Why beach or pool only?

Generally its safer in terms of lifeguards, plenty of people around, the water youre in is considered safer

Was taught at a young age if the water is brown (eg. River) best not swim in it as you dont know whats underneath (eg. You can get tangled in the weeds underneath) and generally unhealthy (germs/pollution)

There are plenty of rivers that aren't brown and plenty of beaches that are.

Doesn't it seem like it's a mental health issue, since it happens more in the Unites States? Do you think other countries just don't give them as much coverage, leading to lower rates?

Of course it's a mental health issue. But we've had guns in this country since the beginning and there's been crazy people since before this country was formed, why has it become more widespread since the internet became more common?

Declining mental health seems like the biggest factor, by far.

So, what's the solution?

I mean Pandora's box has kinda already been opened. And with the way the internet is these days it's kind of hard to prevent them from releasing their story themselves before they carry something out. Because honestly I wish they could find a way to stop them from releasing those things because that's their ultimate goal. Release their work so the world will read it and a good chunk of people will feel sorry for them and even agree with them and they'll be a part of history.

I just don't know how you prevent that these days because as soon as a tweet or a video or a document is uploaded like that someone else is going to download it and then it's on the internet forever.

we've always had guns, but the frequency - and general magnitude - has been rising since the 90s

Like I said in my previous post, the media sensationalizes them. Since Columbine caused a big stir and the media gave the dudes so much attention to the point where they garnered a fandom and a bunch of kids got the bright idea to do the same thing and make everyone at the school so much pay for it. Because these kids feel like outcasts and they relate to these other shooters for sticking it to all the mean people after reading meticulous details and manifestos of these killers to the point where they're sympathetic and relatable. And to certain people who feel certain ways, their actions are justified.

So, what's the solution?

Statistically? No.

The odds of being involved in a mass shooting are incredibly small. The odds of being shot at a school are even smaller.

What must your chances of being killed be, before it's a problem?

Lol @ all the people on their high horses claiming that people who dont like cops have never seen the side effects of opiate abuse. Ive lost friends and family and work with addicts on a daily basis. The war on drugs and police overreach 100% contributes to the stigmatization of drug addiction and allows people like you to feel good about yourselves because you praise cops.

The more power you give to cops, the worse life gets for everyone.

If cops couldn't arrest people, life would get a lot worse.

I strongly disagree

How would we keep order? Vigilantly justice?

Not saying he did anything illegal, but tried is hardest to make a bust, which at the end of the day, led to nothing positive.

Anyway, your trolling and raging about druggies breaking the law and getting caught was fun.
If you have a blog, link it please so I can read it.

I'm not trolling? Do you have anything other that sarcasm and snark to add? Can you tell me what good came of all this?

Yeah. Two druggies got busted driving around with heroin. Who knows what coulda happened later. Coulda overdosed in said car that night.

My brother and his friend used to do that shit. Had a BAD heroin issue, and they used to drive around, park, and shoot up. Endangering not only themselves, but others.

Cop may have saved their lives by busting them at the time. Cuz my brothers friend? Yeah. He died on one of those trips. Im sure his friends and family would rather they had been caught instead to give them that one extra chance to maybe get help.

Shit is illegal for a reason.

So, they'll go to jail, get out the next day or two, then use again. That's a real positive.

Stop being intentionally dense. You glanced right over the point I just made about potentially saving a life.

That, and no, they dont always get out. A lot are sent to treatment once they see a judge. My brother often went from jail right on to the treatment center for rehabilitation. Its a chance to help someone.

What SHOULD they do? Let druggies drive around on the streets high? The hell is wrong with you?

How did he potentially save a life?

Right. It's called drug court, it's not very common. You're super lucky, if you get it.

Dude, he's just raging cause you're a cop.

While you're using the terms in the capacity of law, he's just trying to troll by saying 'well fuck the legal terms and meanings, we'll just ignore them for my terms and meanings'.

He's not wrong. He's just arguing something that isn't related. It's like saying "the grass is green and the dirt is brown" and him saying "no the grass isn't green it's brown because it grows from the dirt which is brown so just call it brown instead of green".

No, this is about intentions and what has a positive impact on society. I'm not saying this just because he's a cop. I despise all the anti-cop ACAB bullshit.

You still 'searched' his immediate area. It's just a more limited search, so this line of argument is just stupid

Actually no its not. It is not a search. In a court and legal matter what you just said could be the gotcha! Moment from someone having their charges dropped or them being convicted of a crime. What you said would be completely laughable and unacceptable in court

This isn't about the legality of what you did. You just wanted to find any reason to make a bust, which led to nothing postive.

Drug court can, which is a step in the right direction. What needs to be done is to treat drug use as a mental health issue. You cooked up a reason to put these people in jail, which did no good, and bragged about how sly you were for doing so.

it's really unsettling. bordering on inhuman

That's going too far. He's minimize what happend, so he sees it wasn't the best thing. Who knows, maybe he will approach situations differently in the future.

The highway guy ran like 8 tests idk how they operate. We have three. I had a guy that was able to pass 2/3 but his nystagmus gave it away. When we got to jail his blood limit was almost double but he was able to pass the steps and one leg

So, he showed signs of impairment in 1 of the 3 tests, showing they work. This guy showed no signs of impairment in 8/8 tests.

Yes, that's the problem

TC, I take it back. How DARE YOU ruin two drug users fun time? How dare you?! What if they were going to get high on heroin while driving? It would have been a great time had by all.

/s

Has nothing to do with ruining their fun time. He bragged about cooking up a reason to search the car, because they had nothing on them. What good does it do to put them in jail?

>coming down from a high

TC also said
So Im just trying to brainstorm because I know theyre hiding stuff in there I just dont have a legal way to search. Then the lightbulb went off. Because of his priors and his demeanor, I asked consent to do a frisk of the vehicle for weapons

Hmm, yes, he did cook that up, didn't he? Probably planted the drugs there too a few days ago so those poor innocent druggies would be forced to take them.
That meanie!

Well like I said, I didnt run the tests. Another jurisdiction. And either way the testing was ultimately irrelevant to the charges and the situation

And nothing positive was achieved.

3 people high on heroin driving around a block away from a middle school and shooting up heroin in the Walmart parking lot across the street

I mean if that isnt positive

He passed his field tests, meaning he wasn't impaired. All you did was put a couple people in jail. There lives won't be improved, nor anyone's. Nothing positive happened.

Just because theyre coming off the high doesnt mean theyre not still impaired. Many people can pass sobriety tests like sticking your foot out. And you can still be arrested for failing a sobriety test if the officer believes you are impaired

Right, because they aren't pass/fail. They're designed to find impairment, which you didn't find.

Very cool to read and get into the mind of how cops find clever ways to violate peoples constitutional rights and lie to people.

Looking forward to the next chapter and see how you profile people of color and poor people.

Nothing was violated please explain where and Ill gladly point to where youre wrong.

I am a person of color and I spent my whole life living poor in south side Chicago soooo

That doesnt mean youre incapable of violating peoples constitutional rights and profiling people. Its literally your job after all.

Well sometimes people need their rights taken away. The only thing that makes what TC did lame is that he bragged about cooking up a reason to search the car and get a bust, which lead to the improvement of nothing.

If you consider becoming a sex slave as "supporting themselves" or searching the trash cans for food as "supporting themselves, you could be right.

Are those the only options they have??

Is putting down the playstation controller and getting a job or learning a skill out of the question?

When you talk about" getting a job" you have to consider where people live (not everyone lives in the USA where you can as easilly get hired as you can get fired). And "learning a skill" is also funny. What if you already have skills but can't get a job in the fields you're skilled for? How do you pay for the "extra skills" and how do you know it'll be worth it, even if you manage to get the money to pay for the tuition?
