Blazzen]You guys took small part of what I said and dissected it and then didn't address any other parts. Way to go.
If it was unclear, I wasn't talking to you. I was just making a random, irrelevant remark. But I think this whole "militarized police force" theme is hot air. Most of the people that bring it up can't even articulate what it means to have a "militarized police force" or how that would differ from a "non-militarized police force", or exactly where the line separating the two should be drawn.
Similarly, just a remark but I was pretty jelly when I found out my CHP buddy gets paid about $85 an hour to sit on the side of I-5 during the night construction and watch movies on his tablet.
Yah. Sometimes I feel bad for em. The other day a Stockton PD officer worked an all-nighter, then had to come to court at 8:30. The DA was retarded and kept him waiting around till like 2:30-3:30 that afternoon and he was scheduled to work again that evening. I felt bad for the guy -- you could tell he was all fucked up when he was testifying. And he was so mad at the DA, that he did her no favors. Made her look like an idiot a few times and was very cooperative when I questioned him.
