If they are stupid or ballsy enough to do that, imagine how much cash/drugs also don't make it to inventory.

I have a friend that was on a Drug Task Force. I don't need to imagine.

On an old episode of Law and Order SVU there was an old school where suspended teachers (with pay) had to show up to everyday to get paid, they just sat in a room all day (not sure if they actually do that in NY or just fiction...), got me thinking....

Maybe the police need to do the same thing, suspended with pay you still have to show up everyday to be paid--no police work, but you just sit in a room all day. Surf your phone, who cares, but your butt is there for each "shift". No multi-year paid vacations.

Quoted for effect.
This needs to happen.

Toronto police remind officers to stick to uniform after ‘thin blue line’ patches spotted at homeless clearance

A pair of Toronto police officers were spotted wearing controversial “thin blue line” patches in photographs taken by the Star.

Such a disgrace to the uniform. No respect at all

What a total BS arcticle . These people have no shame . I wouldm't use the Star to line my bird cage .

The only reason police departments do not allow the patch is because it is not issued .

Tough time to be a cop these days. Partly they bring it on themselves, but that BLM defund police nonsense...

While some people in that movement actively want to eliminate police, the cooler heads simply want to stop the escalation of police funding for militarization. In the United States, where the movement began, police forces are getting literal military weapons. They are dealing with people having mental health crises by shooting them. "Defunding the police", among those cooler heads, it an abbreviated way of saying "stop the militarization of police and start training people in de-escalation." When you have police officers rolling up to within 10 feet of a child who is playing with a toy gun while paying no attention to proper safety protocols, and then shooting that child down because they "felt that they had no choice", it's time to try something different.

If nothing else, you're consistent.

As a starting point, every single officer in north America carrying a gun? Terrible policy. If you want to argue that handguns are not militarization, that's a reasonable argument, see above for my retort.

I was speaking more about the United States, but not exclusively. FullMotoJacket gave a prime example.

In the United States the Federal Government, for years, was subsidizing the purchase of military grade vehicles and equipment for local, and State police forces.

How America's state police got military weapons

The US has spent over $15.4 billion on the militarization of police. How did local police acquire these military weapons, and why do they need them?
