A passive aggressive culture

A passive aggressive culture doesn't want to confront a problem directly, so the problem never gets confronted at all.

While teenage boys overdose on San Francisco streets, teenage girls are picked up to be trafficked for sex in Seattle, Washington. It's despicable but no one in either city wants to confront it directly.

We have 16 year olds overdosing in our streets.

Today I was emailing with a mother whose son is homeless in San Francisco and refuses to go to treatment.

Can someone please explain to me how the harm reduction strategy is working? https://t.co/pilWZQU0gi

p.s. a reminder that Rittenhouse was also dealing with protesters with guns, concealed yet,.and it's not like he shot his unconcealed one first

I like this part where Lt. Sheppard of the Portland Police later took questions via Zoom (when chased from his own press conference?)

Asked if there was no danger to the public, Sheppard demurred.

“There are a lot of guns in our city, you know, and there are a lot of responsible gun owners. And there are also people who aren’t as responsible,” he said. “So can I definitively say there is no danger? No. We are people of free will.”

"protesters with guns" - yum. Protesters took over a police press conference after 2 minutes. That's normal...

San Francisco is totally Wild

San Francisco is totally Wild West. The only cops I saw were the Sheriff.

The thing about policing is that police see the reality and the public doesn't. They have a different perception of who is really a threat in society and so they may always be at odds with the public, and the public will always call on them.

Portland cops probably thinking: tired of this shit, you either want policing of your protests or you don't - we'll see how you like this wild west alternative.....

BREAKING: Man Who Fired on Peaceful Protesters “Came Out of a Nearby Home and Confronted a Group of about 50 Protesters Before He Fired into the Crowd”

We’ll see how the story develops, but Trumpists getting *falsely* spun up over “antifa” is *dangerous*. https://t.co/IMQGuYQQSz

There's this kumbaya delusion with this crowd that everyone can get along and can self-govern. On that front, look how well CHAZ n Seattle worked out...

Yes, some cops will be bad guys and will have to be punished. Some doctors will be bad guys too. Does that mean we should do away with them and practice self-medicine? Or do we want to enforce regulation? (See how that segues into libertarian ideas about vaccines, masks and lockdowns?)

Grow up, it's not a perfect world, every policing agent is not going to be perfect and 100% fair, bad things do happen to good people. All the time. People get handcuffed wrongly because they look like the perp, people get cancer and people get covid and die, we do the best we can. Yes in the old days pioneers out west were "freer", they could also become the Donner party, get shot dead by native tribes or die from sepsis when they got a cut on their hand...
