The continued policing problem in America.

[JudgeRightly]

I hate to disagree with you, but when I think of DEI I typically think of polices the favor the hiring of racial minorities. I am of course against such policies.

But God has surly blessed our extremely competent and world-wide-well-loved police force here in Germany. And they have consistently said that the main problem with the US police is the training they receive (and to some extent this also involves the policies they must abide by)

I think Christians must speak out against the police in the US. For a long time we taught people that we should honor the police and respect them. I love Bob Enyart, but I think even he made a mistake by teaching people this. He would talk about and sometimes even play videos of lying police officers, who lied to put pro-life activists in jail and later he is talking about how great the police are and how Christians should honor and respect them.

The US is a cess-pool of crime and filth. Unless you are lucky enough to be able to live somewhere where there is not a lot of people around you.

Most of these issues are the result of bad law and policies implemented over a long period of time. Many if not most of the people in law enforcement are generally good people with good intentions. Unfortunately, because of those bad policies and bad laws, and especially given the last several years, it has harmed their ability to crack down on crime.

Can't disagree with you regarding filth. Thank you Democrats/progressive/liberals.

Crime is primarily a problem in democrat-run cities and states.
For the same reason as filth.

The goal of the left is to destroy America from within. Tear it down. Burn It down. Only then (they think) will they be able to rebuild on the ashes and create their socialist Utopia.

I disagree. I think they are just regular people.

..with good intentions.

I don't care.

because of those bad policies and bad laws..

...we justly firebombed entire cities during WW2 and developed the atom bomb.

No it's not.

Not so much anymore, my friend.

Believe it or not, there used to be a little police station in this empty lot between all the trees in this pic (if the link is working the way I think it does).

I was robbed at gun point, right across the street from that police station. Walking home from a friend's place who lived on the other side of the park. It wasn't even that late at night.

The ironic thing is my friend and I moved down there to get away from all of the crime and gangs up North. He is dead now. I am pretty sure Florida is supposed to be some sort of Republican stronghold.

That country, the USA, is cursed by God. The sooner Christians accept this the sooner the problem can get better. He blesses the countries of people who openly reject Him, like Germany, more than He blesses the USA. That is how grave this situation is. And it has been this way for a long time.

God told you this?

God told you this?

Is there a reason He would have to?

You made a claim that you have no support for making.

We require arguments and not just empty claims.

To make a claim about what God is doing when He is not doing it is called blasphemy.

Well then I must be getting overly emotional. But it seems every generation has it worse than the last and often this is because of decisions that were made before they were even born. The police are just the icing on the cake.

 

[Idolater]

Germany was the WORST country within the last 100 years. Worse than Stalin and Mao. Why? Because Germany has always been a prince in the history of Western Civilization, but then in the 1940s you went completely off the rails and joined Stalin and Mao. How did that happen? And now we've got a German here telling us we're the moral bad guys and Germany is the moral exemplar? Yeah except for that period in the 1940s when you MURDERED MILLIONS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE, yeah, you're definitely a moral exemplar. We should all be more like Germany.

I mean the United States has never had a period where we went off the rails like Germany did. Germany was a moral catastrophe in the 1940s. That's not even 100 years ago, there are people alive today who were adults when Germany was putting MILLIONS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE TO DEATH.

Say what you will about German police versus American police, but American police never had [an] early 1940s period like German police did. And then don't forget the Stasi in East Germany. That was also the German police. American police never had that either. This all happened within living memory.

But do tell us how American police should learn from German police.

Perhaps so.

That does not mean that "God has cursed" a country.

The police are just the icing on the cake.

Don't make claims about what God is doing without evidence that God is doing it.

The American police will shoot you dead, for invoking the name of Jesus while cooking spaghetti. Google Sonya Massey. What does this tell you?

IIRC the German police have specifically mentioned de-escalation tactics.

 

[ok doser]

Google Sonya Massey.

Sonya Massey was a mentally disturbed woman who threatened an officer with a pot of boiling water.
If she had been white or the officer had been a negro you never would have heard about this.

It is the cities. I live in the St Louis area. Missouri is considered a red state, but St Louis and Kansas City have been under Democrat rule for decades. And are crime ridden.

That officer was obviously no Christian. And I Don't see anything in the video that would give me any cause to take his side over hers. Just an infidel sent to do the devil's work is all I see. And the devil's work he done. That's what they do.

1. Al Jazeera? Really?
2. If she's a paranoid schizophrenic, she's controlled by Satan. Her threat to rebuke him in the name of Jesus is meaningless.
3. His response to her statement "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus" doesn't make sense. "You better not". I wonder if he misheard her.

Yeah but I don't think fleeing the cities is an option for everyone. My nephew is sorta stuck where he lives because he can't afford to live too far from work. It's a big problem because used cars are so expensive now. They used to be a dime a dozen back in the late 90 early 2000s up in Indiana. Me and his grandma just helped him get another car and I was shocked at what they cost these days, even for a used one.

I guess one of the presidents there smashed up a lot of used cars and now they are expensive as heck??? That's what his grandma was telling me..I don't know if that was Obama or Biden or what...

From what I see, one of the cops actually tell her to take care of the food so it "doesn't start a fire" in his words. She then walks over to the stove, picks up the pot of spaghetti turns to go to the sink, sees something odd about the behavior of the other cop and says something like "What's wrong"

The cop says something like "I don't want to be around you and that pot of boiling water" The Lady say "Oh well I rebuke you in the name of Jesus", probably meant to indicate that she believes the cop is behaving childishly or something like that. and as she sets the pot down on the edge of the sink, the cop says something like"You fn b*tch! I'll shoot you in the face!"
Sorry I'm typing from my phone but that's about the jist of it.
