    Defunding the police in Atlanta

    This one is classic for many reasons, but my favorite part is the candidate's explanation of why this happened. If this type of thinking wasn't so dangerous, it would be funny.

    I know I'M not laughing.

    Some good news from Texas - we can only pray it is contagious.


    I especially liked the words of "Oathkeeper" in the comments.

    The Darwin is strong in everyone involved with this incident.

    Brown doesn't plan on filing charges against the kids, who he says acted out of desperation, Atlanta's WSB-TV reported.

    "This is a generational poverty issue. These kids, it’s 12:30 in the afternoon. Why aren’t they in school? Why aren’t we enforcing systems to ensure that if they are not in school, they’re in recreational centers?" he said.


    Hey, Dumbshit: We are well aware of the impact that poverty and single parent families can have on school attendance and, in turn, crime.

    What do you propose to do to make them go to school? I'm talking about getting them there physically. Are you going to have a corps of pick up people, to physically take them?

    Is school even in session in Detroit?

    What systems are actually in place for us to enforce that ensures that if they are not in school they are in a recreation center? And do you really think that forcing kids to go to rec centers is the answer? Ever heard of civil liberties? Who pays for recreation centers for all, as I'm sure there aren't enough fully-staffed centers in your city to handle these kids from 1st Grade through High School?

    Maybe Atlanta should form into kibbutzes like the Zionists original did in Israel, and take the kids from the parents to be raised by the kibbutz.

    Based on your statements, it sounds like defunding the police is the best way to accomplish your socialist utopia. Dumbass.

    I had wondered how this guy could afford a Mercedes.

    Now I know: Atlanta Councilman Antonio Brown indicted on federal fraud charges

    You're missing the tiger in the grass. It's not the civil liberties, or the tax money, or any of that. It's that he's promoting government being in charge of raising children. All children. And I'd point out to him that juvenile delinquency exists because people don't have the luxury of jobs that allow them to be there to raise their kids. Cities have become so inhospitable to normal folk--the schools as well as general law enforcement--that nobody with any economic mobility wants to live there. They'd rather spend 1-2 hours a day driving, which in turn moves the businesses that they frequent out to the suburbs and prevents folks stuck in the city from having any economic freedom.

    I find it extremely frustrating to hear people talk about whatever the latest "omigod the cops did whuuuut, he/she was only 14", and then turn around and dispatch a couple cops to handle a verbal domestic between a parent and a 13-year-old. It's one of two calltypes I'm sick of handling, and the other one is "I Saw A Black Guy".

    And, from the looks of it, not a particularly sharp one.

    He wants to defunding the police, and also "enforce" kids to be at certain locations. The cognitive dissonance is staggering.
