Ofcourse people don't want a police state but something has to happen. I mean their are people who wake up and are glad they had no scam call the last few days but have those annoying spam emails tho, does reporting those help? It feels useless but you keep on doing it, they go outside and bring something with them pepper spray or something else, they check if the inside home camera and doorcam is working. Then they bring the child to school, sure you wish the child who is 10 can go alone but the streets are not safe. On your way you can cleary see some people dealing drugs...do you or the other hundreds of drivers report it? Ofcourse not because the police knows this happens but they barely do anything.  Kids are at school and you finally park the car close to work, you see some addicts on the street, 10 years ago you would not see this but got normalized to it and you don't even want to think how they get money to buy their shit....  you arrive at the shop and say hi to the new extra hire security guard, clients then start complaining about how much stuff is now locked behind glass but you had to do it because so much stuff gets stolen, sometimes the thieves get caught but would return the day after and this is the only solution and it makes you angry.... Plenty of foreign tourists who went to USA, San Franciso, Seattle, Portland, NY, DC and so on will say they had a nice time but also that they are shocked by the homeless camps, drug addicts on the street, security measures in shops, Paris or London are not doing well either but it is a totally different level in some USA states/cities. |
Just wondering are you in agreement to a police state. Do you want the Federal government to have soldiers on every corner, monitoring your every interactions whether private or public for the security that you believe you want. |
Hmm I stated in my first sentence people don't want a police state, don't want border controls, don't want to get checked up at the airport, don't want to get a drivers licence, don't want to open their bags for a security guard at a shop and so on but their are good reasons why you can't have that freedom. We will see what happens but if between now and lets say 2028 in DC the crime rate went down, the homeless rate is down, murder rate goes down, drug addicts went down, and the number of teens only getting a probabtion for serious offenses went down....Is that a bad thing or not?
@SanAndreasX How is it talking shit? If I want to talk shit then I talk about how I don't understand how any country would accept Gerrymandering. If you are in office and you believe that your policies are great why do you feel the need to Gerrymandering.
