I guess the liberals don't want to defund the police when they take on four year olds.
Did she call the cops? Or did the father call the cops? She might’ve called the dad to come and get his little boy or else put a mask on him and make sure he wears a mask.
This looks to me like a situation where an adult man, the father if this child, wants to make a big hairy deal about it and the cops are involved, likely by him, unless the teacher called the cops because the father was being belligerent.
And no responsible person wants to defund the police, that was just shouting and silly blather. I checked on the Twin Cities a couple days ago and surprise (not) they have the same police force they had before, only they’re experiencing the same attrition that all large city police departments are experiencing because Morale is quite low. People who want to defund the police are, in a way, getting their wish because there are many fewer police officers on the street and responding to crime.
We had a unusual break-in in our condo building. You know, the one that’s “secure? “ A middle-aged black man who doesn’t live here came in at 11:30 at night, Opening the door with a key. Then he went into the big common room and closed those doors and stayed there all night leaving at 8:30 in the morning. All this was caught a security camera.
That very shocking for this group of mostly older people who consider this building safe.
I suggested to DH that he and a couple of other men in the building run shifts of 2 to 3 hours each where they sit in front of the glass entry door with a shotgun on their knees. No need for bullets, leave the bullets upstairs in the condos. Just sit there in front of the glass doors with a long gun. That intruder will immediately understand that message when he comes up to the glass doors.
I do think we will see more of what some people here consider vigilante actions but I consider common sense security measures because the criminals have overwhelmed the system designed to keep them in check here.
The teacher called the cops. There is a less edited version on Twitter but I couldn't figure out how to post the link. The child is less blurred out. You can't see his face but can see his hair.
I hate it when people trash perfectly good items that could be used/donated. On our local Facebook giving page, a lot of people post that an item "must be taken today or it goes in the trash tomorrow," or similar, when they are perfectly good items and we have both a Salvation Army and a Savers right in our town.
IL, Vincent Alabama dissolved their police department:

The Libertarians got rid of the police in Croyden, NH:

Blandford, Massachusetts is also referenced in the Croyden story. They didn't replace their police when they all resigned.
rr, that's a pet peeve of mine (and a reason I am sometimes slow to divest stuff). I simply refuse to add things to the trash that have lots of useful life left! Nor will I usually buy a new item until options for getting a used one have been pretty much exhausted. I even use broken toys and other misc stuff in my flower beds at times (I have wrecked warbirds- hey, if it's going to look like a war-zone anyway, dratted weeds!!- ceramic houses, a large metal dragon...). In my mom's town, most people had a habit of setting out big stuff before trash day, and much of it was picked up by all and sundry, including me. My mom's neighbors used to intentionally break their kids multitude of toys before putting them out on the curb for the trash -big riding toys, kitchen sets, and so on. Made me sick, and I finally told them so. They said they were SHOCKED that we thought they were doing that - but stopped, and the stuff started to disappear before the trash man got to it. Of course they also refused to recycle anything, when their curbside recycling was free, so there ya go. Anyway, I guess I'm just trashy-minded, lol!
jeppy, there's some serious discussions going on about the effectiveness of small police departments.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...police-uvalde/
Most police departments in the small rural communities around here have been abolished in the past 25 years, and the sheriff's department has taken over the policing role. There has been no uptick in crime that seems to be linked to that, the communities are paying less for policing, and the citizens I've spoken to have seemed just fine with it. And none of it had anything to do with "defunding the police" as it is now being discussed. Sometimes, it just makes sense.
Having known plenty of rural cops, some good, some awful - I can sort of see both sides of the policing argument. My cousin was formerly married to an officer on a township force, and he was a nasty racist brutal bastard. And his much more decent co-officers covered his crap for years, which makes me wary of the ability of departments, especially small ones, to self-regulate. I want police - and I want THEM to be accountable.
