LOL LOL LOL They just changed the freaking name of the cops that are patrolling there! So its a Camden County Police officer instead of a Camden City police officer! And the Camden County police officers apparently only patrol in the CITY of Camden!

So Ed, if you said Camden replaced a corrupt police department with a less corrupt police department, then we could at least not laugh at your post....

It’d be better to just give everyone free healthcare.


It would be better to give everybody
free everything. Who's going to pay
for it, always the fly in the ointment.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Kentucky Governor announces plan to provide every black person in Kentucky with free health care

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/501811-kentucky-governor-commits-to-providing-health-coverage-for-100-percent


My thoughts:

1--Serious Equal Protection issues under the Constitution;

2--How will they determine who is "black"? (in 2020, can't anyone self-identify as "black"?) Will they do a DNA test on anyone claiming to be "black" to determine if their lineage goes back to Africa? What if you are only 1% black...? 25%...? Will there be a modified "3/5ths compromise (meaning you have to be 3/5ths "black" to be covered by the free medical care?; and

3--This will, ultimately, do damage to race relations


I swear it is almost as if they want to make blacks a "special class" and give them South African style "homelands" in certain city areas. And I swear some blacks want this to happen. This will get thrown out in the first court challenge.

I knew a few cops and they
hated those calls and they
got a lot of them. You never
know what some drunk woman
will do. Grab a knife and
stab you with it. On Live PD I
often turn the sound down
when it's a domestic fight,
who needs to hear that crap.


Domestics are probably one of the biggest and it will always be the same home. On "COPS" sometimes you hear they say they are regulars. The women have made themselves helpless. They ask for a restraining order in the morning and want it canceled the next afternoon. They cannot otherwise survive. Half the time they look as if they are insane nuts.

They guys don't fear being taken away after the first few calls. Their attitude is "have my hot dinner ready when I get out."

It keeps up as long as the cops keep just taking half measures.

Georgia having voting issues.

“It has been most disturbing to hear about voters who have given up. Voters who were not able to withstand the long wait times, voters who had one shot this morning,” she added. “Those are people who may be flatly disenfranchised.”

“We have got to stop making voting a traumatic damn experience for black voters. Everything has to be a traumatic experience,” said Brown. “The secretary of state needs to resign. ... They always blame it on local officials.”

Brown said she drove over to a predominately white polling place in the suburbs of Altanta after leaving her site Monday and was near tears as she saw no line,
and people easily walking in and out. “I come over to this side of town, and white folks are strolling in,” said Brown. “On my side of town, we brought stadium chairs.”


Lots of problems in November, we might have rioting x2.

It’s a test run for Nov.

No one hates free and fair elections more than today’s GOP. (Well, maybe Putin....)

Some of the counties having problems have election boards controlled by Democrats. Of course, it is all the GOP's fault...

Ah, are these “election boards” responsible for the shoddy voting machines? The reduced number of polling locations in predominantly Democratic areas?

Aren't the Democrats the party that fixed their primaries for Hillary?
