My kids are similar ages and I think non-parents assume we are insulting them we we state how difficult parenting is. It's an objective fact that having kids is hard, they make every activity at least twice as difficult.

For example. I had to travel for work recently. 12 hours of travelling total, including 4 hours in traffic. Because the kids weren't there, it was really easy.

Another example. My MS in engineering feels like it was nothing compared to the work I've put in for the almost 8 years our first has been alive.

Which seems like I'm making fun of people without kids for thinking normal life is easy. Nope, my perception is warped and everyone has their own perception of life's difficulties.

Mark Kelly is my favorite option too. If nothing else he is cool as hell and has that "great to have a beer with" quality. He's also very white. None of these things should matter but he's a great balancing choice for her presidency.

The police have no duty to protect the public has only been tested under orders to protect from what I understand. Being charged with murder for not enforcing a restraining or protective order that led to a murder is sort of ridiculous, so I understand not forcing the police to act on every protective order.

Being part of an active shooting where it was obvious children were dying hasn't been ruled as not part of a police officers duty to protect. I hope this doesnt set new precedent because that would be insane.

Since we are playing hypotheticals. I too agree with executing the mentally unstable.

As I stated before. Police have no right to identify you just for calling them. Even when a crime is committed verbal confirmation of your identity is more than enough. Identification is not required in the vast majority of situations, including this one. Until you get to the paperwork, then it is correct to identify someone. You've watched too many cops episodes or you fundamentally don't understand American policing.

Forced entry was incorrect on my part. It's sort of the same situation as shooting that drunk guy in a hotel. Just because someone is unable to respond coherently doesn't make them the suspect.

You're entire argument is based on the "what ifs?". Which is extremely authoritarian.

What? Property ownership doesn't have anything to do with identification. Police don't have free reign to force people to identity themselves because a person is unsure of who's car is on their property. Entering the home is a huge issue as well. I guess a cop can force their way into my home for the unregistered car in my backyard and shoot me too.

I don't need to imagine anything, that's slippery slope BS.

Make sure to lick the boot while it's on your throat.

I'm white as fuck and I've had an officer pull his gun on me for telling him I had to reach into my pocket for my wallet. You have an extremely fucked view of American police for someone who doesn't live here.

Heres my opinion you keep pretending you didn't notice. He should have left the house he had no legal reason to be inside of. Checking id is not something he was required to do. He did it to make himself feel big. Last time I had to call the sheriff for domestic violence at my neighbors house they didn't need my ID. That POS cop killed someone by escalating at every chance he had just to leave her alone.

Please stay in your country and keep your useless opinions about our fucked up police forces to yourself.

Lots of words to explain poor logic.

Gun and boiling water are not equal. Stop being dumb.

I've re watched it dozens of times because I'm morbidly curious. That cop is a shit bag who was looking to kill someone.

Did you watch it without masturbating over authority figures?

Ignoring race, because you keep bringing it up to excuse shitty Police behavior.

Police closing the distance on someone they see as violent is an escalation of violence. She would very likely be alive today if they didn't choose to make the situation worse by escalating.

Pulling a gun and retreating, then shooting if she advanced, yep shooting is fine. Putting her in a corner and shooting when she flinches thinking she's about to die? That's murder. I don't know how you are too dumb to understand this.

From my experience in semi rural America it's 50/50. I drive the old shit truck and hear racist shit from about half the white people I interact with. It's not a loud small group unfortunately. It's a group that stays quiet around brown people or foreign people that only speaks when it feels comfortable thinking it's around other racists. I used to think it was a loud small group. Now, I cannot overstate how unbelievably racist they are.
