I love how his world is filled with these 2 types of individuals and nothing else.
You really shouldn't try to lump everyone into these 2 categories of yours because that simply isn't the way the world works. The Bahujan Samaj Party, Partizan, Komala, Frente Popular Revolucionario, The Hungarian Civic Party, The Kurdistan Islamic Union, Il Foglio, Akbayan, PNTCD, The Singapore Reform Party, Centerpartiet, National Socialists, Büyük Birlik Partisi.... That list probably represents 0.01% of the political parties active in the world today. Something tells me that most people's beliefe systems would not neatly fall into the categories of liberal and conservative that you keep using. But I will give you an easier example that you can be familiar with: Your typical catholic is anti-abortion but also against the death penalty. So where would you lump this person in your black and white world?

And to make things worse this same fictional catholic... (we shall name him Bob), is also pro social welfae but scoffs at gay rights.
Oh the horror! What of the dichotomy? What about Bob?

The evidence of police corruption, especially in police districts located at large population centers, indicates that police corruption is systemic and may be the rule rather than the exception. The LAPD and NYPD taken together have a laundry list of proven cases of systemic corruption that prove this.
Take, for instance, the LAPD Rampart scandal, where not only were 70 officers implicated for corruption, but evidence was discovered that showed the chief of police at LAPD was obstructing justice and tampering with evidence. The head of the corruption task force investigating the Rampart scandal resigned and sued the department with just that claim. As far as waiting for cops to come save me? What a joke. Cops cannot stop crime beyond deterrence. Consider response times of 15+ minutes even in populated areas. That's more than enough time for you to be raped, robbed, murdered, etc. The only person that can reliably stop a crime from being committed on your person is you. The cops will only show up in time to clean up the scene and maintain social order, not to save your life or property. | ||

I 100% agree with pickled_heretic, it's pretty sad.
and in most cases, they can't even do anything to prevent what's obviously coming. because well the theft, rape, murder hasn't happened yet and there is nothing they can do about it by law. Like, even if you report someone is in your home and is trying to rape you... when they get there, the best they can do is knock on the door and hope you answer (while you are being rapped). Also, LEOs are people too and they rather show up after the gun fight then before. cleaning up a few dead bodies and filling up paper work is much more interesting then getting shot at. Most of the time, they do it on purpose and take their sweet time to get on a crime scene, or where an incident was reported as "happening". they want to make sure it's all done before they show up, that way they are safe and can go home to their wife and children when they are done their shift. note: I live in Quebec Canada, cops here don't have the right to do fuck all. it's paradise for criminals. But then again crime isn't as bad as in other places, cuz people are pussies around here. I know law is different in the states and I do hope cops have more rights then here. | ||
