The General Political Thread

[Golden.]

I think one of the biggest problems with American police training is the sheer number of different agencies and difference in training between those agencies; the FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies are very well trained, some of the best in the world, but since there isn't consistency between the different city, state and county forces, you get incredibly well-trained forces like Tulsa but then you got a manual that says putting pressure on someone's neck for a few minutes is a great idea like Minneapolis
In Ontario (not sure about the other provinces) we have a civilian oversight agency called the SIU which investigates use-of-force incidents like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Investigations_Unit but if I'm not mistaken its either the city prosecutor or the FBI investigating use of force situations? which is questionable

You are right, the agencies is kind of ridiculous I did a report on the different departments and agencies in american politics once back when I studied politics, ended up with pages upon pages of different agencies for law enforcement and its subsidiaries. It's mainly caused by the states which is unique to the US compared to Europe in that each state is it's own governing body and has its own departments and agencies that stem from it, 50 states = a lot of fucking agencies. + Federal level. Then you have cities, military and paramilitary departments. Presidential only bodies such as the secret service, it just keeps going. The secret service alone is a small army...

yeh, altho it's not necessarily a bad thing to have a layered police structure. the rcmp in Canada is both a federal and in most provinces provincial police force, and they also function as part of the foreign intelligence service. which is kinda strange

are you trying to quote me or ?

Anonymous possibly exposing the fuck outta Trump. Would suck if this was true cause then we'd have to deal with Biden as president potentially.

That demented old fuck would at least have a cabinet that would help keep a decent public image. Trump is too egotistical to allow anyone to steal the spotlight, even if it is detrimental to his reelection chances.

I don't known if we should belive Anonymous, but it's obvious that the GOP won't crack under any pressure. This is the last stand of the Reaganites.

American presidential candidates always full of old senile men tough choices wherever you look.

Thats why the article is there for context

and yes you can clearly see he's on drugs. Either way I have no dog in this race, Floyd's death is no longer a factor in the game we play. We've seen our future this past weekend, America is the next Rhodesia/South Africa and Trump will lead us straight to it with boomer republicanism.

This has been going on long before Trump, at least since Nixon. American Conservatism is poison.

Trump got the military going in
I got my 1 way ticket to Brussels ready to go
Fuck you America
