Taxation is theft Fines are extortion Our income is stolen from us via taxes, in order to pay for police officers to spend their time finding ways to extort revenue from the populace. Stop paying your taxes and don't use the roads all together then. Pretty much this. He's already thrown his hissy fit on law enforcement before and didnt respond when I gave my opinion, so I doubt he will now either. To Jen: you know less than 5% of all taxes go towards roads and infrastructure, right? Also, you know that 55000 bridges in the US are considered structurally deficient. So your taxes aren't going to the roads. To cop: so, quotas aren't a thing? Or I'm sorry, 'performance metrics' is what we're calling them now. Civil asset forfeiture doesn't exist? Police and prison guard unions aren't actively lobbying to keep nonviolent 'crimes' such as cannabis use illegal so that they can maintain revenue streams? While yes, the police do some good, you're clearly being willfully ignorant. I get it, it's your career. But if your career involves you regularly taking money and property from citizens, don't be surprised when some of those citizens have criticisms for how their tax dollars are being spent. --- BADoglick to the Max! <cite>BADoglick posted [p:904802408] in Goddamn th...
