It's time we take seditionists out of the Sheriff's Departments.

And that’s basically it!
Does he care about people not caring about the rule of law?
Or is he just upset he cant run his little fiefdom like a tyrant like cops would have been able to 30 years ago before cameras and youtube?
Mr. Treehorn draws a lot of water in this town. You don't draw shit, Lebowski.
Who wants to bet we find something nasty on this dude in the next six months?
Why wait?
No, too easy. I'd only accept bets on how much of what material is found - like "31 Terabytes of furry porn" or "452 illegal WW1 weapons".
On the surface of only the quote. I agree.
If a felon was in the White House, I think we'd finally see some genuine prison reform, and if we're lucky, for profit prisons being outlawed.
Can you imagine a Danny Trejo type in the White House? Someone who deeply cares that prison is reformative and not punishment?
But not Donny Felon. He's just going to commit more crimes.
So basically he's saying he has no faith or confidence in the criminal justice system? Wouldn't that kind of... I dunno... disqualify you from a job in the criminal justice system?
I've think a lot of cops express how unhappy they are with the justice systems. Imagine getting a call for a domestic abuse. Show up and see this piece of shit beat his wife and kid. You arrest them and put them in jail. 6 months later you get another call same fucking guy same fucking thing. The courts gave him a reduced sentence. Rinse and repeat for your career. You're catching the same dirt bags over and over and the justice system keeps putting them back out there cause they either are too lenient or under funded to handle them. Cops can make the arrest but have no control over the justice system. I get a lot of us hate cops but I think we can all empathize how hard it would be to see the same people every couple months victimizing the same people
Or we could try a system that actually tried to rehabilitate people. Nah, that's too much work. Best just keep people in jail.
Look, I'm all for equal representation and equal opportunity for everyone. The US had a black president already, which is awesome, but I'm not thinking the next step here is to "recently convicted felon". Maybe try for a woman as president first?
Just saying.
There's a whole long LIST of things we can try long before settling on "first felon president."
-
First Woman President
-
First Openly Gay President
-
First Asian/Pacific Islander President
-
First Albino President
-
First Teenage President
-
First Werewolf President
-
First Teenage Werewolf President
-
First Robot President
-
First Robot Teenage Werewolf President
-
First Normal President
We could go on and on too.
Translation: "I'm upset that my cult leader was found guilty so I'm going to stand here and throw a sarcastic little crybaby tantrum about it now"
One more for the "Evidence 'law and order Republicans' are just racist" drawer.
"Bianco also challenged the idea of systemic racism or bias in law enforcement"
Yes, because no police department ever has had these kinda problems in the United States.
Not american but I'm honestly worried about the USA right now. This shit is crazy. Can you imagine if he wins again?!
Something really strange about American police forces is their use of military rank insignia. Here we have an elected official overseeing a civilian law enforcement agency of ~4000 personnel wearing the rank insignia of a 4-Star general.
Not going to lie. His felon status has very little to do with why I won't vote for him
Trump isn't fit for a Waffle House, let alone the White House.
Nah, waffle house accommodates larger folk all the time, pretty sure he could fit in the seats.
Oh yeah, I remember hearing about this as a local-ish. He's bum hurt about criminal justice reform in Cali (non violent offenders getting less or no jail time, that kinda thing). Makes this job "harder" he says.
It hasn't been smooth sailing, mind you-- but it's at least the government trying to do something about an overcrowded prison system.
Makes his job harder? GOOD. Policing communities should never be an easy job. And you signed up for it, numb nuts.
Has it ever been more painfully obvious that a police scumbag is bought and paid for by corrupt campaign funding?
I've heard you have to think like a criminal to catch one, but i have not heard let a criminal run your goverment to stop crime. but it really makes sense if you don't think about it, making nothing illegal would mean no more crime.
Convicted felon. Because lets be honest, they are all felons.
Yes, Eugene Debs, please.
- who was basically jailed on political pretexts but still..
I support this affirmative action and will be voting for Snoop Dogg in the upcoming election
Glad he supports criminal rights reform, but I don't think he's picking the right criminals
this guy looks like he's the model for several cartoon characters
If this dude wasn't such a conservative nutjob, I would think he was doing a satire
Again. But convicted, this time.
