OldTimeAFLGuy Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 ...now there's taking command....spritz everybody with Aqua Velva......they'll all smell nice...... Seattle bans tear gas for 30 days amid George Floyd protests By Morgan Phillips | Fox News Seattle’s mayor and police chief announced they’ve agreed to ban the use of tear gas to disperse protesters for 30 days amid ongoing demonstrations after the death of George Floyd. “After hearing concerns about the use of CS gas for crowd control purposes earlier this week ... we decided we were going to suspend its use for 30 days,” Police Chief Carmen Best said. The leaders suspended the gas until watchdog groups and oversight officials can fully review and recommend changes to policies and training for use of the chemical agent. Local health officials expressed concerns over use of tear gas and other respiratory irritants in light of the coronavirus pandemic. The ban only applies to tear gas-- not flash-bang grenades, pepper spray and other crowd-control techniques-- but Seattle’s female African American police chief said that “everything will be reviewed.” https://www.foxnews.com/us/seattle-bans-tear-gas-30-days-george-floyd-protests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just swapping the budgets for Education and Police would go a long way. First thanks for the reply. So you want to swap budgets. How do you handle the impact of less police and more crime? What does not get addressed? So do you thuink there are too many police and the crime rate would not go down with less police? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howdy, thanks for having a nice and polite tone with your questions. Well let me begin by trying to understand your question better. What crimes do you think right now the police are doing a good job of containing and handling, that would be noticeably worse without them?

And when you have that stance, there's not much you can do to change things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call them and give your credit card information before they respond to take care of your problems. We are heading this way and I say awesome! We should also defund Welfare and social programs that drain our tax dollars. I'm also for defunding any and all tax payer money going to public colleges.

It should be like volunteer firefighters. Unless the national union is dissolved and the US becomes more like the EU (also not necessarily opposed), then you still need national services. And so you still have the National Guard but you need non-violent mediative services. You need people for homeless people to give them what they need; for crazy ass people shooting bows & arrows in public; for domestic disputes — these require trained professionals. Essentially what I"m talking about are field doctors for mental/social issues.

I would be curious why insurance would not cover their claim. It seems like the exact kind of thing insurance is for. Obviously I'm a Trump voter. MAGA 2020, can't you tell? Can't wait to hear you tell me that store fronts and human life have the same value in your twisted mind! Also — did you confirm this earlier — you ARE the Devin Nunes guy right? You're the guy on this forum that loves Q anon stuff, right? And Devin Nunes? Like. Devin Nunes. You are riding that jock? Still, or did you figure it out? Please say still.

keepthefaith Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 No, dumbest idea ever. I'm beginning to wonder how the leftist ideology has any success at the ballot box. Seems like they're on a political suicide path, only propped up by media/hollywood/big norcal tech and some crazy fringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
