Greetings good citizen, did you catch the 'Presidential Townhall' CBS aired last night? Just hipshooting here but I'm going to suspect I wasn't the only one that came away...I want to say 'disappointed' but that's not right. I didn't expect the Potus to have any real solutions and should he have been foolish enough to offer any we would have witnessed the first televised assassination to take place on national TV!
Isn't THAT what's troubling you?
To his credit the President touched on the periphery of the deteriorating situation between the public and law enforcement. [Despite throwing accelerant onto an already raging inferno.]
He spoke of poverty, the main force driving crime...not a WORD about for profit prisons or legislation designed to keep those money making ventures/institutions full.
Worse, after being convicted, freshly minted felons, already facing a tight labor market due to automation overpopulation /wage arbitrage get put on the bottom of the pile.
[No irony should be lost on the fact that employers are paid BY THE SAME TAXPAYER that keeps for profit prisons in business, to hire felons...sticking it to the public twice for what probably wasn't a crime in the first place!]
But not ONE WORD was mentioned about our badly broken 'justice system' nor did he mention 'stop & frisk' or the fact that most people TASED TO DEATH were pulled over for minor motor vehicle infractions.
Then there are the folks who are found shot in the back seat of the cruiser...already wearing manacles...allegedly 'resisting arrest'.
Which is to opine there are a lot of people wearing badges that shouldn't even have the job.
But it doesn't stop there, next we have a court system that refuses to prosecute improper procedure or wrongful death.
What's their 'battle cry'?
It's a 'dangerous job' followed by something the President mentioned last night, 'they deserve to go home too.'
I'm not your average viewer and that statement set my teeth on edge. If you were worried about the potential of not returning to kith and kin at the end of the shift then MAYBE you SHOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN THE JOB IN THE FIRST PLACE!
Nevermind the fact that anybody that gets busted AIN'T going home either!
[But F them! right?]
Perhaps more perplexing is when did cops become such big crybabies...seems to coincide with mandating that they start wearing bullet-proof vests.
Once upon a time good citizen, there were the guys with the badges, many of whom took pride in having NEVER drawn their service weapon...They did the job and didn't complain because they accepted the 'trade-offs' that came with the job.
Commercial fisherman have a more hazardous job than law enforcement...and there ain't no bazooka totin' fishies out there! Hell, even Farmers face greater risks everyday and nobody is crying over their safety!
Now it is drummed into a recruits head that EVERY TRAFFIC STOP COULD BE THEIR LAST!
Keep that in mind the next time you see blue lights in your rearview mirror, Pumpkin-head is CONVINCED YOU are hell-bent on KILLING him! (and he don't know you from Adam.) THAT'S who will be standing slightly behind your window, hand on the butt of his weapon, watching your every move.
Oh, PS By the way, YOU'RE GUILTY...he wouldn't have stopped you if you weren't.
Problem is we have traffic laws that were DESIGNED to provide the municipality with an 'income stream'. [Leading to the far more serious question of 'where PRECISELY DOES all that money go? (besides the insurance companies cut...WTF is up with that anyway?)
See, the rabbit-hole goes deeper than anyone imagines.
But between seeing potential terrorists behind every bush and mulitple 'rotations' in the Middle East it's small wonder we now have a police force that focuses on 'shoot first, ask questions of the next of kin...'
Which is to say, these guys report to work every day EXPECTING TO DIE!
This IS NOT THE JOB and the people responsible for this NEED TO BE FIRED!
Now I've got you scratching your head? Who IS responsible for this mess? This brings us to that most vexing juncture of all, the 'appointee'. There are too many details for a single executive to keep track of so he appoints 'deputies' to take care of the things he doesn't have time to address.
A good 'executive' only has a few 'deputies' whose judgement he trusts. How unfortunate is it for the rest of us that 'good' politicians are rarer than hen's teeth?
Your typical elected executive can only manage their own calls of nature and getting to their 'tee time' by themselves. Everything else is delegated and those delegates 'encourage', er, 'gratuities'.
So our extremely perilous society is brought to you by a decidedly corrupt 'vendor base' abetted by minimally qualified administrators.
Some of these pukes actually make their own job by whispering, 'you know what you need?' in the clueless candidates/newly elected officeholder's ear.
Once again I think you know what I'm going to say...'We're neck deep in STUPID around here!'
Understand, The President KNOWS what the problem is but he's forbidden by his 'masters' to even acknowledge it.
This is NOT on him. Mitt wouldn't have even held a 'townhall' nevermind admit non-billionaires actually exist! As far as your typical conservo-whacko is concerned, terrorists aren't born, they're 'made' and since EVERYTHING is 'made in China' Terrorists must be Chinese!
And there goes the planet but where were we?
Now that I have arranged the pieces to fit my worldview, you are free to disregard my explanation as 'sourgrapes', an unwillingness to accept that life is difficult and hard choices are everywhere, what you're seeing is the result.
When you know DAMN WELL, the answer is corruption/mismanagement.
This in a world where we CAN'T get 'citizen's united' repealed or field even one candidate willing to give the working poor a break vital towards reviving what's left of our economy.
Nope, it's either the failed businessman or the one whose main qualification is possessing a real live uterus.
Like I said before, good citizen,that's just the tip of the iceberg!
Thanks for letting me inside your head!
