So much for the BLM peaceful protests being held in the same park just hours earlier. If none of the killed people are black I guess their lives don't really matter. Long live Brexit! https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-berkshire-53123975 And so much for these killings not being treated as terrorist act It turns out killer was known to MI5 since last year already. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-53129046 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply love the stat that heywood posted, it confirms my theory that taking funds away & disbanding police units will only result in a higher crime rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they generally report fact, but I’ll wait for some more trustworthy publications to report statistics before I come to any conclusions. Politicians can pour as much money into the police as they want, but I’m pretty sure we’ve showed them why that’s a bad idea. There are absolutely solutions that will make everyone safer and happier. The problem is that we’ve let the police become too strong, and that has led to the rise of polarization and extremism minorities and poorer communities. You also haven’t done much reading on this issue if you think education and healthcare wouldn’t help solve a lot of factors that cause crime. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Once the shootings ramp up, they will give in not to be voted out of power. That's what happens all the time. New York used to be the most violent city in the USA. If crime becomes the new boss again I'm sure taking funds away from the police will be a forgotten idea in a hurry. You're lucky enough nobody's trying to become the new John Gotti and flood the NY streets with mafia blood again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
