    Women can power trip too.

    Also there will be a whole new meaning to reaching ticket quotas at that time of the month.
    Women may be burdened with white privilege, but they aren't burdened with male privilege. Without privilege policing will improve.

    I see your point but 50/50 split should be what we strive for.

    Nothing compared to what an affluent middle-aged white man with a persecution complex has to go through every day.

    50/50 doesn’t even come close to addressing the adversity present for females versus males. Male privilege drops that down to at lease 60/40 women to men.

    I think there is an argument to be made that more females in the force would lead to more fatal interactions.

    The ladder of escalation is pretty short when the person you are trying to subdue has 100lb on you.
    I worked right seat with a drop dead gorgeous female RCMP member once - they literally had guys (who were being drunk/stupid etc) begging her to put them in cuffs (in a playful way). She just had to speak and they listened.

    Normally these were the type of people to start fights with other members - but they turned into literal pussies when this member spoke.

    Dave doesn't understand the kind of adversity that a wealthy 40 y.o. white guy must deal with every day. If only he could sit down with someone like you, he'd get it.
    #40yowgp.

    I thought "blamed-for-the-ills-of-society" was always a bit cumbersome. Kert's "persecution" is a bit strong, but has a nice ring to it.

    I think we should go all-female in the police force.
    I legitimately know of one who tried to become a city cop because she wanted to experience shooting somebody.

    I don't deal with police much, but in my interactions, the women power trip way worse and are far more stuck up and arrogant than their male counterparts

    I get it, you're a woman in a predominantly male and dangerous occupation so you need to appear tougher

    I am seeing memes of young white girls posting - not afraid to be in a room with trans/gay/minorities etc. but scared to be in a room of middle aged white men

    I get what you are saying but you are scared of your male family members? lol

    There are plenty of female cops that are tougher than their male counterparts, not just appear to be.

    Totes. Some of them can do FIVE man-style pushups!!!

    If you want a totally legit comparison for male/female athletics, let's talk about hockey. The multiple gold/world champion Canadian female hockey team is reasonably competitive with Midget AAA boys. They actually have played in the Alberta Midget AAA League in order to further prepare for international competition.

    So, yeah... The greatest females in the world are about three large steps behind the best males.

    A crazy woman? Well color me shocked, STOP THE PRESSES!


    That's only an issue if she actually made it through and is a cop.

    Sometimes, just sometimes ZH nails it.

    https://www.zerohedge.com/political/...teous-failures

    Many Americans suffer from a spiritual sickness, a singular brand of ennui only found in the most industrialized nations, where prosperity is spread among a vast middle class. White middle class Americans have no culture to center them and tether them to a community. Most of the ethnic whites lost these critical ties to "their heritage" when their parents and grandparents fled the cities in the aftermath of WWII. Adrift in the suburbs, jumbled together with thousands of other well-to-do strangers, they became despondent.

    Growing up, they lived lives that were planned by doting parents, who sheperded them from high school on to college, where the young adults of America go to "find themselves" in yet another layer of social conditioning masked as "education".

    Like the Gen Xers who came before them, Millennials suffer from the same plight, only their sense of collective sense of entitlement and selfishness is more all-encompassing. Their parents appeased and coddled them to such an extreme degree that every minor setback in life is interpreted as some grand injustice, since they were never challenged, or pushed outside their comfort zone.

    Once they hit 25, they slowly start to realize that the dream career they had in mind - a sprawling Manhattan apartment, a good-paying job, perhaps as a gossip columnist at a widely read alternative newspaper - is simply beyond their grasp. They didn't work hard enough, they didn't have the smarts, the drive or the wisdom. But the notion that their failures are consequences of their own mistakes simply doesn't compute; it's not them - it's the system. It's capitalism, or racism or white supremacy. Yes, that must be it.

    Anger and resentment can metastasize into hatred and fury at an alarming pace. Often, logic has nothing to do it. But for everyone thinking about joining the mob, we believe there's a better method of dealing with these uncomfortable feelings, and it starts, unfortunately, with something that's kind of uncomfortable: Taking responsibility for yourself. To that end, Twitter user @luinalaska, has some strikingly articulate thoughts (emphasis ours):

    Some of you have done NOTHING with your life and you’re mad. You have a college degree & a smart phone with access to virtually *anything* and you can barely get out of bed in the morning while you spit on people who built a whole world with nothing but a horse, map, & axe.

    You’ve made nothing with access to everything. You’ve conquered nothing. Hell you can’t even conquer yourself. So go tear it all down. Scream into the void how unfair it all is. It’s not that you’ve wasted your short time here. Surely not.

    Don’t bother with your own legacy you’re busy shitting on the long dead who aren’t here to care. Go burn down every Starbucks. That’ll show them. Torch the Target. Tear down every monument. Deface every memorial. But what have you built? What do you leave behind?

    So take your benzos. Watch your porn. Get Uber to drop off your dinner. Buy an adult coloring book. Have sex with strangers to ease your crippling anxiety. It’s not you. It’s the system really. It isn’t fair. Go cancel someone. Dox someone. They deserve it. You’re the good guy.

    Don’t write an epic novel worth building a statue to remember you. Go troll seven year old problematic tweets ever on the hunt for the boogeymen. See now you’ve accomplished something. Cancel everyone. You’re a warrior now. A real hero.

    And lastly whatever you do never ever take even a moment to self reflect on your own failures. Never own them. Never take a hint of responsibility. Remember you’re just a helpless victim of circumstances beyond your control. This all means nothing. Its like you weren’t even here.


    We wonder whether the reason leftists find authoritarianism - their brand of authoritarianism - so appealing is simply because it would allow them a free-floating get out of jail free card, an excuse for all occasions. Because the one drawback of being free, is that people then expect you to take that freedom, and accomplish something with it.
