I m so tired of police killing citizens malaise May 2021 #35

I know, malaise. And the militarization of the police. A friend was pointing out pnwmom May 2021 #36

Apparently a lot of them think they are an occupying army, not a CIVILIAN force. ... Hekate May 2021 #58

Thanks for the reminder, Hekate. I'd forgotten that 911 was when we had that major transition pnwmom May 2021 #61

I don't think anyone even needed to spend much money on it; iirc it was Military Surplus.... Hekate May 2021 #64

Maybe he did. Or maybe that was an act he was putting on for the cameras. pnwmom May 2021 #51

politics with a little p is likely in this instance Yonnie3 May 2021 #55

I agree. The wording of the poll shows this wasn't an honest attempt to survey the public. pnwmom May 2021 #56

If they collect IP's from the votes they will see people voting from out of district. cayugafalls May 2021 #46

Right. But if they'd gotten the results they wanted, when there were 11K participants pnwmom May 2021 #60
