International Association of Chiefs of Police responds to Trump's remarks about police use of force:
Then what is Black Lives Matter complaining about or this former cop slash former Marine? (One thing he states is not entirely accurate, that FAST Company which he served in is "special ops." Albeit, he's intelligent enough that I know he could make a reasonable argument to me face-to-face that they, and in a sense he is right I suppose).
Ex Baltimore cop Michael Wood gives brutally honest interview on the Joe Rogan Experience 1/2
Really, I think police brutality was a bigger problem--and more socially acceptable--back in the 1940s and '50s USA.
As for me I agree with much of the ex-cop former Jarhead in the video and simultaneously I agree with Trump to an extent (depending on context). In terms of setting an image and tone towards violent hoodlums I think Trump is not making a bad strategic move. He's kinder in his diction and tone towards the American predator than I would be. But you can't solve everything with violence. Helps to give people a better option, a reasonable reason to take a path towards less violence, something they can have gratitude for. Rather than option of being predators. Otherwise, violence, fear, brutality, and incarceration only works so long and comes back to bite you as eventually it makes a younger generation of your opponents meaner and more violent, and they won't be fearing prison.
#1 Like the ex-cop says is to end the Drug War. Secondly, you have to rebuild hope in peoples lives, improving infrastructure and taking a fiscally liberal policy like Northern European countries and Britain have. Possibly the best option is to slash welfare programs and to give everyone at x age (16 or 18 or 20) a Basic Income whether they are rich, middle-class, or poor. Maybe you stipulate if they are convicted of a violent felony crime they loose their Basic Income not only in prison but for x number of years after they are released from prison. You see... they have a little something to be grateful for then. Also increased levels of freedom to make a wider range of choices.
You have to set a a hard and firm tone with predators but more especially organizations of predators. There is nothing wrong as a Mayor of a City or President of a country making them think you are willing to erase any future genetic contribution they can make to the gene pool. That you are willing to amass so many of their bodies on the streets that the UN will demand you be brought up on genocide charges.
