WHY DO WE NEED MILITARIZED POLICE?

So fire arm violence hasn’t gone up in a decade. Homicides have been declining for a decade and are down 45% since the early 90’s. It seems people are committing suicide at a greater rate to escape this fucked up world. It appears only one segment of American society is primarily responsible for the gun violence in America – black men between the ages of 15 and 35 killing each other. The majority of this gun violence occurs in the urban ghettos of cities run by liberal Democrats and having the strictest gun laws. Why is that my problem? Why do I have to pay for their bad life choices and the welfare policies that created it?

So why does our prison population exceed every country in the world by a huge amount? (Corporate prison profits and kickbacks couldn’t be the reason. Right?) Why are police forces in primarily white suburban areas being militarized? Why do we need more cops? Why are there 80,000 SWAT raids today when crime is far lower than it was in 1990 when there were 4,000 SWAT raids? The liberal ideologues and clueless white mothers who march to stop gun violence are either too fucking stupid or have been brainwashed by the Obamanistas and the liberal MSM and refuse to see that this is nothing but a black problem in black neighborhoods in cities run by black Democratic politicians. 

Let’s stop the politically correct bullshit and call a spade a spade. Reassign all the 2nd responders from the suburbs and their military equipment to North Philly, West Philly, Camden, Detroit, Chicago and all the other Democratic controlled urban kill zones and let them stop gun violence there. End the War on Drugs. Leave the white people in the suburbs alone.

Gun Violence In America (In 6 Uncomfortable Charts)

Tyler Durden's picture

A recent report, The Annual Review of Public Health, summarizes the basic facts of firearm violence, a large and costly public health problem in the United States for which the mortality rate has remained unchanged for more than a decade. It presents findings for the present in light of recent trends. Risk for firearm violence varies substantially across demographic subsets of the population and between states in patterns that are quite different for suicide and homicide. Suicide is far more common than homicide and its rate is increasing; the homicide rate is decreasing. As with other important health problems, most cases of fatal firearm violence arise from large but low-risk subsets of the population; risk and burden of illness are not distributed symmetrically. Compared with other industrialized nations, the United States has uniquely high mortality rates from firearm violence.

SUMMARY POINTS

1. The overall fatality rate from firearm violence has not changed in more than a decade.

2. Suicide is the most common form of fatal firearm violence (64.0% of deaths in 2012) and is increasing. Homicide is decreasing.

 

3. Homicide risk is concentrated to a remarkable degree among Black males through much of the life span. Mortality rates from firearm violence are very high and unchanged in this group.

 

4. Suicide risk is highest among White males beginning in adolescence. They also account for most fatalities from firearm violence and have increasing mortality rates.

5. As compared with other industrialized nations, the United States has low rates of assaultive violence…

 

…but uniquely high mortality rates from firearm homicide and suicide.

That chart on “assaultive violence” looks like it understates the level of violence in the UK:

By the Numbers: Is the UK really 5 times more violent than the US?

“…in 2010, according to the FBI, the reported rate of violent crime in the US was 403 incidents per 100,000 people…Due to fundamental differences in how crime is recorded and categorized, it’s impossible to compute exactly what the British violent crime rate would be if it were calculated the way the FBI does it, but if we must compare the two, my best estimate‡ would be something like 776 violent crimes per 100,000 people.”

Simply put we dont need them, the are a tax suck and liberty destroyer so the USSA wont be giving up their militarized police soon. Also they need a place for all the roided up former troops that have returned from pointless wars with psychological damage.

Totalitarian tyranical statist’ lust for the crown jewel in the domestic war coronet; The War on Guns. Flanked by The War on Drugs, The War on Poverty, and The War on Terror, the Crown will commute absolute power upon those annointed. Once bestowed it will be impossible to dislodge and will herald a new epoch of servitude.

Only in America do people raise their hands and wail and run in circles over such non-issues.

Put IQ 70-90 males on an island at 14 and let them off at 30, and voila violent crime drops to a rounding error off zero. Can’t have that, however, due to disparate impact, can we?

I’m less interested in how the homicide rate by gun varies by country compared to how the overall homicide rate varies by country. Getting knifed to death isn’t preferable to getting shot to death, in my book. I understand that Jamaica has had tight gun control laws since 1975, but their murder rate is 9 times that of the US. The murder rate of my state (MN) is lower than that of Canada (1.4 vs 1.6 out of 100,000) http://www.infoplease.com/us/statistics/crime-rate-state.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate

Why do we need militarized cops? We don’t.

They will use the police to go after domestic terrorists. Those listed by Missouri Highway Patrol inclued tea partiers, pro-lifers, 2nd ammendment supporters, home schoolers and conceal carry holders. Cops don’t know it yet but TPTB do. HIDE YOUR GUNS!

Why do we need militarized police?

Because the fools on the hill are basically ‘Authoritarian’ just look at the global picture and how they manage to get involved in many far off countries with civil unrest.

“Make a law, make a business.” — Old New Jersey street saying

Dillon Read & Co. Inc. & the Aristocracy of Prison Profits
by Catherine Austin Fitts

http://www.dunwalke.com/introduction.htm
The first was a vision shared by my old firm on Wall Street — Dillon Read — and the Clinton Administration with the full support of a bipartisan Congress. In this vision, America’s aristocracy makes money and finances the building of a global empire one neighborhood at a time by ensnaring our youth in a pincer movement of drugs and prisons. Middle class support for these policies is created through a steady and growing stream of government funding and contracts for War on Drugs activities at federal, state and local levels. This consensus is made all the more powerful by the gush of growing debt and derivatives used to bubble the housing and mortgage markets, manipulate the stock and precious metals markets and finance trillions missing from the US government in the largest pump and dump in history — the pump and dump of the entire American economy. This is more than a process designed to wipe out the middle class. This is genocide — a much more subtle and lethal version than ever before perpetrated by the scoundrels of our history texts.

This case study provides a detailed example of the financial kickback machinery that makes the process go. It works something like this. A group of executives and investors start a company. Rather than build a business the old fashioned way, company profits are pumped up with government legislation, contracts, regulation, financing, subsidies and/or enforcement. This dramatically increases the value of the company’s financial equity. The company and its initial investors then sell their stock at a profit. Such profits replenish contributions made to the kind of politicians who can arrange such government benefits. Such profits also fund philanthropy to foundations and universities that have large endowments that invest along side the investors. These tax-exempt organizations provide graduates to staff positions in the game, intellectual justification to attract popular support and photo opportunities which bestow legitimacy and social stature. Personnel cycle through the management and boards of business, government and academia, as the real economy declines — the environment deteriorates, productivity falls, income and infrastructure decline — and government deficits grow.

Crime has a color and it’s black.

When the dollar crashes and the food stamps dry up you’ll understand why the cops are militarized.

Unless you think the 50 million people dependent on EBT cards will go quietly into the night.

I have no objection to giving away surplus, non-lethal military equipment, such as cold weather clothing, to police departments who can truly use it. It’s already been paid for by federal taxes anyway, so it would save LOCAL taxpayers some money in funding their local police.

As for lethal shit like M-16s, no.

Here’s why we need militarized police:

Spain Takes a Giant Step Backward, Towards Its Dark Past

Cops will be needed for the new corporate fascist state.

And what will the people do? They’ll “do as they’re told,” just as Dick Cheney said.

@SSS,

With you on that. Full auto? On what planet do cops need FA (which is largely used for either fire suppression or the latest retread of Hollywood’s favorite trope)?

I could suggest that the best thing to happen to policing in America would be to pass laws requiring all SWAT-type operators to wear pink polka dots instead of black.

The zeal of the SWAT-ers would drop considerably, but of course this is just wishful thinking.

The future is the legions of stupid vs the cognitive elite.

There are more stupid whites than stupid blacks & stupid Latinos, but percentage-wise it’s way overweight to stupid racial minorities….so that’s going to be a problem of perception.

I hate to sound apocalyptic, but three trends are about to collide:
1. Wasting money trying to make dark-skinned people as successful, on a percentage basis, as light-skinned people is about to look as futile as it always was.
2. The race-baiter/community-organizer foment of tension is about to be all too successful.
3. The perception of wealth needed to gain consent for all this waste is about to evaporate.

Today’s low-grade war of cops on blacks simply foreshadows a much more widespread and horrifying over-generalization to come.

Should Caucasians & Asians collectively embrace a “dark-skinned people are out to kill me” narrative, they will cut out the middle man (the cops) and simply slaughter everyone who remotely “looks” wrong.

We could easily see a completely irrational “Hutu vs Tutsi” slaughter of innocent and guilty alike, and it could occur with astonishing speed.

The collectivists are apt to get their wish; we’ll see just how irrational and bloodthirsty are people when their mob mentality takes complete control. That the collectivists are “pro-black” for the most part is ironic, indeed.

The only thing keeping relative peace is that light-skinned people haven’t got their “mob on.” Heaven help us all if that changes, and I fear such a change is baked into the cake already.

@dc, I’m late to the party, so don’t know if you will see this, but what if it happens like that, but not?

My feel from the clues being dropped is that it will START as “white against black” but then the militarized police will be for US, not the out of control/criminal black element.

Riled up, then set lose, then once we do the job of culling, we will, in turn, be culled.

Tell me it ain’t so, but then explain to me what will change the likes of Obama, Clinton and Pelosi from following this plan?

Would also explain the influx of Latinos too. The black community knows they are being brought in to take “their” resources.

Set up for war, then set up for genocide.

Sadly, I don’t see it playing the way so many old-school whites do.

I hope to hell we are both wrong. I really hope I’m more wrong than you because I can see my friends and family signing up for that scenario.

Most humans are decidedly non-creative/non-big thinkers. They can’t “imagine” it, so it cannot be so.

Then the train squashes them.

Same as it ever was.
