I suggest anyone interested in the history of police militarization pick up Radley Balko’s Rise of the Warrior Cop. There are so many tiny little towns with fully kitted out SWAT teams. Cops are taught to view themselves as soldiers in hostile territory. They go to trainings where they’re taught bullshit science to encourage them to kill.
They are soldiers in hostile territory. They’re occupying indigenous land. Killing a cop isn’t murder, it’s warfare according to the proper rules of engagement.
For them every black person, LGBTQ person and woman who wants to own their own body by having an abortion is a criminal. And according to right wing extremist propaganda the leftists are extremely dangerous, so I guess that would justify the purchase of military equipment.
Do you have any idea how deadly woke people are? Every time someone shouts “black lives matter” a white Karen’s feelings are hurt. The only way to combat this is assault rifles and infantry vehicles.
Very normal for suburbs (particularly white suburbs adjacent to black urban neighborhoods) to act like they’re living in a war zone, because they saw a guy in a durag smoking a scary cigarette outside of the gym.
Consequentially, a change in the quota can result in a “crime wave” as the number of arrests rise. It is not uncommon for surges in arrests to occur during campaign season, as police departments lobby for bigger budgets and more manpower.
Prosper, Texas.
Population: 37,746

Nearby Dallas’ crime rate? 46.06 per 1000 residents.
Is it me or is this not exactly justified?

It depends through which glasses you look.

Not even in Dallas. But hey, at least some small town got to employ people to build this tank, and not call it socialism.
It’s even stupider than that.
It’s either military surplus or reconditioned units that are offered for resale to stateside PD’s to “pacify” civilian unrest.

Crime rate just means people who are arrested. They can increase or decrease it if they want to.
Wait…you think that if someone gets murdered, but they don’t arrest anyone, this doesn’t go into the crime rate?
You man someone had an accident? This is a safe place to live, we’ve never had anything like that happen here.
So you really think that is how it works? Wow.

What is this gishgallop? Care to summarize why these links support your claim that if there is no arrest, it’s not reported as a crime?
Do you think cops who are buying that sort of shit are reluctant to arrest people?
They might prefer other methods of “executing” justice
Common for agencies to have internal ticket and arrest quotas for their officers and to promote based on number of arrests by officer.
Consequentially, a change in the quota can result in a “crime wave” as the number of arrests rise. It is not uncommon for surges in arrests to occur during campaign season, as police departments lobby for bigger budgets and more manpower.
Now check the stats for crimes involving IUDs (or IEDs)
