in basic gun safety. The sensor in the holster is a good one, but sincerely doubt the cops unions
will go along with it. Sure, if the feds get involved, there may be a better path to accountability
nation wide. Unless mandated by congress, every local cop shop will fight it. Also wonder if individual states were to try and implement such a plan, would it be easier to get it underway?

Thanks for the week in review philly blue!

I am headed for Everglades National Park today. Maybe I can snap a few pictures along the way.
I can't abide MSM anymore. I do not need the propaganda, thank you very much.

Sick of this shit; you think those groups are being exclusively singled out by the police? That is a lie.

I am none of those groups, but the local cops (most, but not all, of whom are Hispanic) treat me like dirt - they love to murder the mentally ill and homeless, one of which I have been legally documented as for years and the other I could easily be were I not so fortunate as to have my family.

We must think in terms of individuals, not groups; the group is the problem. Abolish the concept of the group, and people will be forced to stand on their own two feet, with nobody to pass the buck to for their actions. Want to stop killer cops? THAT is how you do it.

I am also really starting to wonder whether always talking about people being targeted for mistreatment in terms of who/what the targets are isn't just a variant on "blaming the victim". What if the real reason some people do bad things to others is simply because the people doing the bad things are just bad people, possibly just following their dharmas, as it were, and that any appeal to whatever it was about the victim that "made them" want to do that is just post-hoc rationalization. You see this in high school (maybe even before); some people are just bullies, and they'll pick on whomever they think is weak. It doesn't matter if the target is dark/fair, male/female, thin/fat, gay/straight, foreign/local, the local dominant religion/infidel or even poor/rich - if you're not part of the herd, you'll get bullied. The war is, as it has always, on weird people, and recent trends have made that WORSE, not better.

The real victims are the ones you don't hear about. Like Stalin's USSR, they keep us all on a shifting carousel of scapegoats.
