I don't think you'll find many disagree with that sentiment here.

Like this whole defend the police shit is dumb

the best way to better cops is: 1) selection 2) training

both are extremely expensive

But you need better training

I dont see that happening.

Look at how much money Germany has to spend on a small police force for training.

and selection is becoming harder as candidate quality drops. You see the same thing here.

Cops should actually be prosecuted more harshly. Responsibility for wielding such authority.

It's like a damn Bachelor's degree.

Abuse of power alone should be a massive charge.

@Maw here it is 3 university years

Bruh Germany's policing is cancerous

For sure.

They're walking around with empty guns

Like bruh even if you wanna discourage terrorism, at least put in a clip.

So it looks loaded at least.

a magazine...

unless its a self loading rifle from ww2

Sorry, Detroit me

😄

The riots here were also cancerous but fuck it

Big gretch approves

do you want to know what the reason is for carrying the sidearm like that?

Don't wanna have to move channels throughout the convo bruh fml

with the mag out?

Wym

In Germany?

yes

Nope.

But I know it's stupid

before knowing why?

What's the point of an empty gun? Discourage crime, or intimidation.

Where's the intimidation in a gun that you can clearly tell is empty?

Not even side arms

Empty machine guns.

Its because German law enforcement has data suggesting it is more probable that a gun is drawn from the LEOs holster and directly used against the LEO, than it is that a LEO dies from the delay caused by the 1,4 seconds it takes them to load the weapon.

@Doc, you just advanced to level 30!

It has nothing to do with intimidation.

So it's there for them to load when needed

If your policing is based on intimidation, you have already lost.
