    Never said it would. You need to stop assuming what I'm saying.

    You though, seem to be saying we should do nothing... Accept it.

    I could be wrong tho...

    ...umm, no, I didn't say or imply that...if you'll notice, I already offered my suggestion...dviss made his...do you have a solution of your own or are you simply going to pick away at small parts of other people's posts?

    ...yes, you could be wrong...and you are.

    ...you're doing the very thing you're accusing me of...you're "assuming" that I meant "we should do nothing" when I clearly said otherwise...should I repost it?

    Here; post #117

    "...sure, I'd like better cops, better teachers too...but as the saying goes, "garbage in, garbage"....for one thing, if we want want better trained cops/teachers our government could start by actually paying them for what their worth to attract a better cop/teacher, instead of giving out badges to anyone with a criminal justice degree or giving out teachers certificates to just about anyone who wants one.
    ...in other parts of the world teachers are groomed from the upper part of the class...not here though."

    You should really look at my arguments on police reform. I've made all these points.

    IMO there should be a 4 year Law Enforcement degree.

    And yes that's a false argument to say that we should think about our neighborhoods without cops. Why would one ever want to do that?

    You seem to be saying that we think all police are bad, which definitely isn't the case. We don't complain about all cops. We complain about the bad ones and we wonder why the so called good ones won't out the bad ones.

    Its the No Fun League. The rules had changed and defensive impact has not been the same. I was intense about each and every game. For me these days, it's entertaining, not religion or a protest movement.
    The players take knees for political aspects but that passes when the ball is kicked and I don't care about that at all. For many years, I followed the Ravens. I won't boycott. I like the sport too much even though the game has been depleted. College ball was and is always a passion.

    ...yeah, stampede I said essentially the same thing earlier...the rules changes have "pussified" the game...it's just not the same.

    ...and there's trying to do the same thing in Baseball.

    What part of I've already said don't you understand?

    I have always advocated that the men and women who deal with the worst of us should be paid more.

    I've always said more training and higher pay.

    The Enron scandal was created by more rot than just some accountants. I remember hearing a recording of a couple of executives on the phone talking gleefully about how much pleasure they were going to get out of screwing some mythical little old lady out of her retirement by increasing her heating bill by a whopping amount.

    I've always advocated for our Oregon police to have four year college degrees. I rue the day when Portland police changed their policy to requiring only a 2 year degree.

    ... no, not in this thread you haven't, not once.

    I did quote you. Not sure why it didn't work. My stance on the police is well known. I'm too lazy to go look into other thread for the posts.

    You don't have to have a degree at all. Just a diploma and 16 week police academy. BAM! Badge and a gun.

    My beautiful, black, ATHLETIC friend tried to become PPD and could not pass a "psych eval" that had questions about whether or not she would out a fellow officer if they committed a crime.

    She passed everything with flying colors except that...

    ...yeah right.

    ...and yet even though I've only been posting here for a very short time, you still expect me to be aware about something you supposedly said a long time ago?


    ...sorry, my browser is not equipped with a retroactive time machine.

    1st, I don't need to lie.

    2nd, the reason why I couldn't quote you is because YOU fucked up on my quote.

    3rd I don't expect you to be BUT I did make you aware when I said my stance is well known and you can check.

    4th, you do have a time machine. It's not on your browser. It's the little magnifying glass in the upper right corner. You can search all posts there.

    Bottom line, I you know now that I support paying our police $100K plus just as long as they come with 4 year degrees. Now are we done arguing about agreeing?

    I would participate in the OT section if it wasn't for two specific people. I'll let y'all guess who they are.
