If we woke up one day and there were NO police, the population would be DRASTICALLY reduced in a matter of days.

No arrests means vigilante justice. You scratched my car, you are now dead.

there are just a few things that restrain an otherwise law abiding man from just mowing down everyone he sees that he doesn't care for.

who do these punks think have most of the guns and ammo?

there are about 600,000 sworn police nationwide. about the same number of people in the military. last i checked, there are about 17,000,000 concealed carry permit holders. and no doubt even more people without a permit that have guns.

9/11 doesn't represent all Muslims but somehow Chauvin represents all Police Officers.

If the regular police is gone I bet there would be formed a secret police something like the republican guard in Iran that would enforce brutal control of the population.

Himmler formed the Einsatzgruppen and built extermination camps. As facilitator and overseer of the concentration camps, Himmler directed the killing of some six million Jews, between 200,000 and 500,000 Romani people, and other victims; the total number of civilians killed by the regime is estimated at eleven to fourteen million people. Most of them were Polish and Soviet citizens.

The problem with Muslims is, they literally want anyone that is not one of them dead. I take issue with that, and there is no real way to deal with it, except to keep them out of our country. Every Muslim country in the world is an absolute train wreck.

I've traveled to many ME countries and stayed in some a short time while others a little longer. What's some of my memories?

Saudi Arabia and seeing Religious Police. Yes, Religious Police. They carried a wooden stick maybe three or four feet long and painted red. Well, the middle only had some red. The rest was completely worn off from being held or whacking a body part due to disregarding a religious practice. They paid us Infidels no mind since we were already lost.

Baghdad, Iraq after many years of US, errr, NATO presence. The people we had come to give democracy and a better way of life were still subjected to open sewers, air pollution you could actually see, terrorist bombings/shootings, and politicians playing both sides of the fence with the US and Iran.

Oman, there was a larger town over a mountain from where we were. We got a chance to see something different and took it. The mountain was usually covered in heavy fog yet the drivers continued to drive normal speed. What was their reason? Maybe it was Inshallah. Inshallah means "If Allah wills it". I learned the meaning while on the trip. We had passed a car that had wrecked. Someone in the group stated, "I guess Allah didn't will it".

If "they" think it's bad now, just wait until there isn't any police at all.

As proud of him (and her too!) as I am, I won't be putting pics of his swearing in Monday just for that reason.

Police brutality has been overblown recently. Not that it is not such a bad thing, it is but This puts the occurence in perspective.

It is challanging to be so proud and want to be verbally supportive but having to stay silent.
