Has BLM gone too far?

No matter what you do. Just like killers are going to exist, police brutality is going to exist. The key is getting it as low as possible which it arguably is right now.

don't fucking defund the police tho like wtf is that about.

Literally out of 10 people i see while walking down the road, half are doing drugs, and the other half are dealing them

Do you understand that soldiers in an ACTIVE WARZONE are held to a higher standard for combatant shootings than domestic police?

Hint: Shooting anyone in the back, even if they are carrying a loaded weapon, is a WAR CRIME.

Domestic police can act with impunity because of a special law called "QUALIFIED IMMUNITY".

Only 4% of police calls are for violent crimes (like assault or robbery).

I wonder how much that number would be without police officers?

Domestic Law is different than Foreign Law. We have Civil Rights and Liberties here.

Are you aware that violent crime is in a long term down-trend?

Actually, we have FEWER rights than an "enemy combatant".

"except for those few rare occurences"

Ah yes, I meet 1 thousand people and I only kill 2, and I maybe assault like 10 of em. I put like 20 in my basement.

I am a good guy right?

But honestly, the whites taste better in my stew.

I like eating all tho

Where’s your source?

Really? Would you rather be in a federal prison or Guantanamo Bay?

Would you rather be shot in cold blood, or held in violation of the Geneva conventions?

Are you aware that violent crime is in a long term down-trend?

And how does that correlate with police funding?

Police are armed in order to deal with violent criminals.

Police only face violent criminals on roughly 4% of their calls.

Therefore, it stands to reason, the armed police should get roughly 4% of current police funding, with the rest (96%) distributed to unarmed civil servants.

Which page?

That makes no sense lol. Americans have more rights than enemy combatants.

That doesn’t answer my question. Crime has gone down but police funding has gone up. Crime is already up in cities because there are less police officers. And I mean violent crime.

How many cops do you think would be cops without this?

Qualified immunity doesn’t stand in the way of clear cut cases like George Floyd does it?

And anyways the Supreme Court has found it legal.

In Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800 (1982), the Supreme Court held that federal government officials are entitled to qualified immunity. The Court reasoned that "the need to protect officials who are required to exercise discretion and the related public interest in encouraging the vigorous exercise of official authority."
