Shablagoo 07/01/20 2:42:32 AM #1:	Chaos does not ensue. https://thefreethoughtproject.com/crime-drastically-drops-arrests-atlanta/ Prior to Atlanta officers killing Rayshard Brooks in a botched DUI stop, crime began plummeting. Even after the brief unrest from protests due to Brooks, crime was still on the decline. Though many officers from the APD called in sick after the cop who killed Brooks was charged, records show they were refusing to do their jobs well before this. According to a scathing report from WSB-TV,prior to police killing Brooks and throwing a collective temper tantrum, traffic stops were already down a whopping 80 percent. When cops arent extorting people for victimless crimes like window tint, license plate lights, seat belts and other arbitrary offenses, there is no need to defund police because this will do that for them. The union representative who spoke to WSB-TV said the officers are refusing to do their jobs because they are scared to be put in jail if they hurt someone. Seriously. Its a reflection of the officers nervousness or, you know, hesitation to be the next officer thats put in jail, said Vince Champion, with the International Brotherhood of Police Officers. When you approach a car, you have absolutely no idea whats going on. Hes right that you do not know what is going on but the overwhelming majority of police interactions are for traffic stops in which there is no victim and both begin and end peacefully. However, many of these stops are used as a pretext for fishing for other alleged criminal acts, which is why the protests began in the first place as statistics show they are targeted more toward minorities. --- No Venezuelan fishermen ever called me a Bernie Bro. <cite>Shablagoo posted [p:941511779] in As cops in...
