How to Fix the Police

How to improve the police:

1. Make them work 12 hour or longer shifts everyday so they are exhausted.
2. Yell at them for hours on end telling them the are racist, worthless, garbage people.
3. Provoke them.  A little shove. Throw things at them.  Burn down their offices if you can.
4. Make them watch looters and vandals but don't allow them to do anything about it.
5. Provide no support from their superiors.  Make everything their fault.
6. Kill a few here and there for good measure.
7. Cut their funding.  Make them work more hours for less pay.

Result: Well-adjusted police!


Incidents of Police BrutalityToday - Unacceptable, but some things to think about
1. Provocation - See above.  We're in a situation where we are going to see the worst.  Why do the protesters crowd the police and barriers when there is plenty of space elsewhere?  Why didn't the police gas and beat tea party and anti-lockdown protesters?  It has a lot more to do with their behavior than their politics.
2. Quantity - How many cases are we seeing each day?  I'm guessing there are hundred of thousands of police on crowd control duty and a dozen incidents a day.
3. Editing - We may not be seeing the whole story

Defundinng the police
1. Withe fewer police, will the new social workers and whatnot be called on to handle riots an mass protests?
2. Comparison of police-caused deaths and violence against what's already in community - which is worse?  It's a no-brainer on the death count.
3. Let's put it to a vote in inner-city communities - you want fewer police and more social workers?

Will the same Democratic politicians who are presiding over the current mess be more successful now?  Why?

A Tale Of Two Pandemics: Media Downplayed Swine Flu Outbreak Under Obama

Although everyone seems to have forgotten the swine flu was even a thing, it infected nearly 61 million people in the U.S. from spring 2009 through early 2010. And it claimed as many as 18,000 lives, according to a Centers for Disease Control study published in 2011. In total, the disease is now believed to have caused more than 200,000 deaths worldwide.

When Obama declared a national emergency, CNN didn’t get around to mentioning the death toll of the disease until the 10th paragraph. By that point, millions had been infected and 1,000 people in the U.S. had died.

The day after Obama’s declaration, CNN carried only a single link to the swine flu story in its “Newspulse” section. It ranked below the headline: “Wayward flight’s co-pilot denies arguing.”

The Times’ story about Obama’s declaration didn’t mention the death toll in the U.S. until the fourth paragraph. Two days later, the swine flu was off the Times’ front page again.

We’re not saying that the coronavirus isn’t serious. It’s a new disease with an as-yet-unknown trajectory and a seemingly high fatality rate. So caution is warranted.

But it should be obvious to anyone that the scale and intensity of the coronavirus coverage is far beyond the actual risk posed by the disease. Even if coronavirus is twice as deadly as the swine flu pandemic, more people will die from falling down this year than from COVID-19.

In 2016, 60% of GOP Iowa caucus-goers voted for a black or Hispanic candidate.

In 2020, about 100% of Democratic caucus-goers will vote for a white candidate.

Let that sink in.
