Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Could someone please handcuff this guy, even for 10 minutes? People get beaten with sticks for stealing $20 of groceries.
I would argue for the opposite, can we work to treat low risk, non violent offenders with more respect instead?
"When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just seen them thrown in, rough. I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice,’"
Trump said, addressing a group of police officers.
Generally I'm with you, but if Trump gets a little roughed up I won't cry too hard.
He did, but I don't agree with him.
I understand that you don't agree with him. I'm just saying sometimes karma bites people in the ass and I can't be bothered to mind it when that happens.
Anything. Just anything.
Doesn't inciting violence make you a risky, violent offender?
Charles Manson never killed anyone.
let me put it this way, let's not rough anyone up just for the fun of it. Why use force if they are submitting themselves freely, no matter the crime?
If they have commited horrible crimes, aren't the punishment supposed to come after the hearings, not before?
There's already been a hearing to set a ridiculously low bond. So the punishment didn't come.
a bond is not the sentence
I never said it was.
Can we do both ?
My morals can make an exception for my values in this situation
sure, but there's a huge difference between the two crimes and one would be deserving of such action, and the other spectrum is not.
No one who surrenders willingly is deserving of such ac
this, the punishment should be AFTER the hearings, not before.
Unfortunately in America he is to rich and most of the police are on his side. Some who work forces...
I wish, but solidly United States here.
