    I dont think you know either a) what is actually happening in NZ or b) what a police state actually is. Maybe both.

It took me a long time to get over the hatred, but I've been working that angle since 2001.

    Not surprising, but disappointing to see it here.
    You think I hate all police?

    Will there be a nationwide police strike? Nah, so fuck 'em.

    Back to arresting grandmas, enforcing illegal edicts, watching BLM burn down cities without consequence while kneeling before them.
    Derek Chauvin was a bone thrown to the mob. He has no business spending 22.5 years in jail for the death of George Floyd. On the other hand, cops who obey their orders to let mobs destroy businesses should be themselves jailed.

    Black Teens Burn White Man Alive

    America: Where black men can kill themselves and white men go to prison for it due to the urging of journalists, while black men can burn white men alive and the national media says nothing.

    It'd be nice to see some journalists burned alive.

    No, sir. I do not, and I don't think your allowance for posts is an endorsement of the content. I just find it bitterly tragic that the same people who decry COVID tyranny while citing statistics and objective examples will immediately disregard the same for law enforcement. Anarchy is as much of a fantasy, in any flavor, as Marxism and all its malevolent children. Not to mention... its a play-by-play repeat for demoralization socially, culturally and politically from socialism and communism as they overthrew countries in the past.

    We are in rapid decline, and "both sides" are contributing as rabidly as they can. I sincerely understand this to be pathologic to human behavior, so my conclusion is this will end in violence, death, starvation and tyranny that the people of the West, generally speaking, are not only absolutely unprepared to face -- but that it can happen to them is an utterly foreign concept.

    I will issue this challenge to them: prove it without hyper-focused examples (though I am totally in agreement that they should not be discounted for the abominations they are). So far, to my knowledge, I am the only one who has made the attempt to provide data or studies.

    Can you find the actual statistics on the number of black men killed in police custody vs. the number people think were killed. That would be instructive.

    I think the last thing I posted with regard to police interactions would cover that, and if my memory serves me correctly (and it may not), handcuffing, even without resistance, was considered as a use of force. I think if you were to simultaneously consider those statistics alongside demographics for crime it would be interesting. Also consider urban density with certain impoverished populations that is almost entirely subsidized by the federal government. Then look to who authored the laws and policies in those specific areas.

    But I'm not gonna do the leg work this time. Especially because my own personal philosophy is to be ready to do incredible violence very quickly... and then try to resolve the situation without ever using any of it. I have a lot of biases based on location, culture, and prior experiences that I brought into the field. My biggest issue here, by far, is methamphetamine. So, this time I'd like to see what my opposition can come up with.

    I was shocked to learn how complex and well-managed the logistics of drug trafficking are, and I'm just getting started on it.

    It's been more difficult to develop reliable trends because the publications are sparse or difficult to search for. Right now, I only have the suspicion that the rising import over domestic production of other substances, like fentanyl, are potentially tied to all of it. The highway patrol guys are exceptionally busy. The bridge incident at Memphis pulled in personnel and assets from across both states to work the trucks while they were piling up.

    Nicely said. I suppose we all can be hypocritical from time to time. But wishing people harm is different. An obvious hypocrisy provides some insight ,information,and often a productive dialog. Where as the practice of verbal voodoo is irrational, immature, and offensive.

    Sorry, I forgot to include this. Difficult to establish meaningful trends off of four years of seizures with so many other contributing factors.

    Also interesting:

    Not to mention COVID policies were sort of the finishing move for meaningful access to rehabilitation, juvenile detention capacity, mental health access, jails being closed entirely for more than a year or at drastically reduced capacities, and social/political/economic drivers for drug usage.
