So ridiculous. False narrative. The highest death rate by any police department in the country is St. Louis PD (about 15 deaths per million). St Louis happens to typically rank 1 or 2 in the nation as the most violent city in the country. You have a 1 in 64 chance of being a victim of a violent crime. When folks are victimized, they call the police and often times those confrontations end violently. Not quite “selling loose cigarettes”. St Louis PD isn’t losing too many wrongful death lawsuits.
Except that there is a violent crime being committed when an innocent unborn child is being murdered.
Personally I'd give more credence to objective rather then subjective reasonings. The cop is giving you very biased opinions, so I'd take that with a grain of salt. I'll keep harping on it --- there needs to be balance.
Adding hyperbole and hysteria to your statement doesn't make it factual.
Great, abortion FINALLY something we can all agree on……
Here are the penalties:
What Happens if You Get a DUI in Iowa?
Learn about your rights if you are arrested under the suspicion of a DUI.www.hopelawfirm.com
The moral of the story must be to splurge on the good stuff then?
People in California who murder or rape are not being arrested, convicted and incarcerated?? Exaggerating and being facetious doesn't help your argument.
Lotso conmen and grifters drifting through these daze. Not an indictment on the cesspool, per se. Just a sign of the times…
30% increase is if course noteworthy, but the actual rate is still below the 70s - 90s, and WAY below best guesstimates from 1800, which is likely well below 1700. Long term trend in violence clearly a decline.
From 1 article I saw......
Don't forget to mention Montana, SD, and Kentucky. During the increase in murder rate a couple years ago, they led the pack with the highest increases.
Yeah, why listen to a guy who is way more educated than you on a topic? FML, some people are so ignorant.
Interesting stuff. I'll have to think about it some. I will say the first paragraph seems like rehabilitation, and the last something of a restorative theory. Any given punishment can serve some or all of the justifications for punishment, but that doesn't always answer the question of why or is it just.
yes...it's the statistic that is wrong and biased, not your own anecdotal recollection of how things were 20+ years ago
I fully support your right to not have an abortion and will fight for your right to NOT be forced into gay marriage.
Who says he's more educated? And secondly, more educated doesn't mean correct. Third, all my life I've seen little change unless the criminals want to change. So we let them run wild? Bleeding hearts are fine until real blood is shed.
but we punish and enforce dui laws wwwwaaaayyyyy more these days than we did back in the day, when all of you guys seem to think was before all the bleeding hearts took over (and crime rates were generally much higher)...
It’s interesting how social media can focus the collective attention on situations today. Crime didn’t seem so bad in the 90’s partly because it was out of sight and mind for most.
What is your point? Nowhere did I say DUIs shouldn’t be punished. People who commit them are usually habitual drunk drivers.
do you really think people are not fined for violent crimes?
Well I dooooo have a Masters Degree, but I honestly don’t hold much stock in it. It’s a piece of paper I got by writing a lot of papers and I only got it so I could earn more paper. I’ve met a lot of really dumb people with degrees and some really sharp folks who don’t have one.
Seems like with one significant difference, all "punishment" is meted inside-out as opposed to any external entity acting upon the offender.
look at me for example….. only a high school diploma …….yet I’m a virtual fountain of knowledge
As my old man says, “better a smart ass than a dumb ass”
