    A bunch of pro-Hillary supporters just rioted in the streets, hurt cops, damaged property and stole from innocent people.

    News at 7!!!

    Yes and from your link:

    "Earlier today, the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office released, via Twitter, a finding regarding MCSO inmate Terrill Thomas, who died in the Milwaukee County jail in April. The MCSO is not conducting this death investigation; has not received any updated findings directly from either the ME; MPD; or DAs Office; and is withholding employee internal investigations and will not be commenting on this matter until the completion of all investigative and review processes, and any resultant civil litigation."

    Since when are the results of a medical examination made available on Twitter? Seems to me the OP is jumping the gun.

    Wow your the quick one. The idea is to call the police before they break in to your home. Not try to fight them with a machete once they are in.
    Are you going to state in writing that you would not call the police in the previously mentioned scenario as well? If you've been paying attention the issue at hand is whether or not you would call the police. Please pay attention better and then try to respond again with that answer.

    I've seen the same with American cops. To some degree, American cops overreact, but part of it is because the people they are arresting are over-reacting and not cooperating. That said, it doesn't excuse this man dying of dehydration in jail. The officers involved should be investigated, and probably charged with manslaughter.

    So you are basically saying that they put water in his cell, he just wouldn't drink it.

    Isn't that the reason we have cops.

    Why would they only be charged with manslaughter? If you deny someone water for 6 days that is a malice, intentional act.

    What complicates all of this is most of the cells have water. however, the now dead inmate had intentionally flooded his cell a few days before, so they took the water away from him. I'm just wondering what kind of mental illness this guy had.

    I was comparing real cops to the Dutch wonder cops, who seem to have mind control powers....

    We don't know if it's the same person all 6 days, or that one person realized how long it had been. That has to be part of the investigation. I don't know the answer, and don't pretend to know.

    I don't know if they serve anything to drink with the Nutraloaf and since they turned off the water in his cell if they didn't that would be negligent homicide.

    some Trump supporters appear not to be merciful towards poor democrats, only to poor republicans.

    maybe they have wrote them off as unlikely to be redeemed, it is unfortunate.

    47% that they will forget about, as they will never vote Republican.

    Mexican for Trump

    Notice when Trump was for the wall, at first this Mexican got the wrong idea.

    I thought of something....
    Let's start a sort of pilot program. We will get 50 or so of these fine people who don't want to be part of the frat boys brute squad.
    They will get the best training money can buy (at no cost to them, maybe Soros or some other billionaire can sponsor it). The training can be from a reputable police force with a record of stellar training or military training. Very professional.

    Once trained, they will be required to spend AT LEAST 30 days patrolling one of the most crime ridden cities we have.
    Nights and weekends are a must. They start at rookie pay.

    I'd be very interested to see the outcome.

    I think you have a good idea. Somebody used England as an example of quality policing. Maybe a cop swap program would give a us a indication of which is the better plan. Personally I think if the police union had to make the payment when the city is sued for what scared police do, we would all be better of.

    There are some pretty bad guys working in US Law Enforcement, but I disagree with your assessment regarding American Law enforcement in general. I have traveled extensively in the US for decades and I have found almost all of the officers I have encountered to be professional, respectful and very helpful. When some nut with a gun is on the loose, many of these guys head straight into dangerous areas daily to try to diffuse the situation thereby protecting innocent people. In my opinion, you are being quite harsh in your pejorative generalizations. Try to look at it from the perspective of an honest hard working policeman.

    so
    I suppose I should start a thread entitled "Hillary Clinton supporter shoots over 100 people at Orlando LGBTQ nightclub."

    And in this comparison, you see the essence of the problems law enforcement has created for itself in the US.
