  1. That cop trying to rationalize the problem away like that and no one calling him out only shows the problem with law enforcement. I've heard them and their supporters use the line "we run into the situations others run away from" over and over again making it very clear they don't think of themselves as being just another profession. But what they don't bring up is how many other professions get to carry guns and have the ability to execute, abuse and victimize members of the general public with near impunity as the word of a police officer usually carries much more weight than that of the rest of us stupid civilians. The Golden State Killer didn't turn out to be a plumber, did he?

  2. With that closing montage I'm guessing this is the last one of these? What a wonderful series, I'd love to see more new shows made. 2026 is just a few years too so they could re-visit some of these places. Just always sad to see a good thing end, but that's life. Loved that line at 38:48 - "So this is the reason why everybody has too much stuff"🤣 Thanks Vice. Good luck with the new owners.

  3. Then she must never get coverage up there because she doesn't get covered down here by mainstream American media. Maybe on some show that looks at kooky AF fringe nutters from around the world (they're everywhere!) but this is the first I've heard of the Queen of Canada.

  4.  @dsmitty1416  Bad analogy, dude. People in many professions get labeled as a racist without any evidence - not just cops. There are people out there that feel if someone works for the government they are racists because the whole system is racist. Teachers get called racist, doctors and nurses get called racist, bus drivers and cab drivers and shop owners get called racist. Most anyone in a position of authority gets labeled a racist at some point or another.

  6. It just isn't possible for some people to be part of the common culture of where ever they are and they have to try to find their own way in an uncaring and often hostile world. Having something like schizophrenia can only make the whole thing damn near impossible. It sounds to me like your brother did the best he could for as long as he could. Be well, my dude.

  7.  A Berryman  I understand what you are saying and as someone who is and has often been alone I absolutely relate. While women are absolutely much more at risk then men, it can happen to anyone. And single elderly women and men might even be more vulnerable as they have even less of an ability to defend themselves or escape from physical violence. Anyone who is alone is vulnerable. But counting on someone else who has to be notified of an assault and then drive to and locate where it is happening to be the person that is going to protect you is a terrible idea. You also have the legal right to protect yourself by any means necessary when being violently attacked and luckily we live in a country where we have the right to own weapons that will stop an attacker. Even having roommates or being in a relationship isn't going to protect you from someone who is set on hurting you as we know from the Zodiac Killer, Son of Sam Killer, and the Golden State Killer just to name three high profile cases. And in that last instance the attacker was one of those people who you are hoping will be there to protect you from the bad guys. There are things you can do besides having an SO or roommates - extra locks and a home security system, a big dog, self-defense and firearm training (I recommend a shotgun for home defense). But even with all of these you might still be brutalized by someone. And absolutely don't get a gun if you don't think you'll be able to kill your attacker without hesitation or have children around. Too many people - women and men - even police are killed every year with a firearm that's been taken from them. Hoping an armed police officer will be there to stop an attacker might make you feel better, but it's just a placebo. You are better off relying on yourself and maintaining a strong sense of situational awareness, doing your best to avoid dangerous people and places, and providing for your own security at home or when you are out. This probably didn't help and I apologize for that. Stay strong, stay safe and be well.

  8. We've always divide ourselves for whatever reason along a wide range of odd and sometimes seemingly arbitrary ways. But we may have reached a tipping point in this country. 59:49. Pretty much says it all. And thanks, Frank Luntz, for being one of the principal behind-the-scenes people who helped drive it all into the ditch. We've effectively been an empire ever since the end of WWII, and now that we've truly crossed into the Cyberpunk age it will be a steady slide into Corpocracy. The shell of the Old Republic will continue to be used as the public face of our government for as long as the charade is useful, but eventually even this will probably be abandoned. Unless...

  12. Texas/Jessup - Alright you two! You're making the rest of the Internet look bad - I LIKE IT!!! Thank you for showing us what an actual conversation looks like. And this is the beauty of what America is supposed to be. We can disagree without being a-holes about it - even though tard did get thrown out there, an apology was offered. That's a lesson I'm sure I could apply to some of my own posts. We can live our own best lives and simply not get together in person and, barring the exceptional, try to force each other to live the way the we think is the right way. For example, I'm a hodgepodge of beliefs from the left and right. Liberals are generally more forgiving of my weirdness and I love a good library. Add to that that I've grown up around and have enough conservatives in my family to know that I could never live in that world, Small towns and rural life definitely have an appeal, but I'll never fit in there so I'm a city dweller and probably always will be. Even when I lived in Texas it was in Austin. Respect ourselves and treat each other the way we would want to be treated and that should solve a fair chunk of what seems to be going wrong lately. In the words of one of our modern day bards -- Stop pointing fingers and take some blame, Pull your future away from the flame Open up your mind and start to live Amen.

  16. It seems like the pay-for-it part was being a bit smoothed over. I don't see the price of anything going down and we all still have to figure out how to pay the bills. I'm not at all sure about the whole two-generation rebuilding of the US by people assertion. Automation and machine intelligence is going to eliminate a lot of the jobs that people perform. Unless there is some kind of alternative wage or way to provide for even just the basics of a modern life (shelter, food, clothing, security, etc.) then we're looking at something very dystopian in the future. We're in for an interesting ride no matter which way things shake out. Luck to us all!

  18. Narco States - we all live in Narco States - legal or ill. Criminalizing any of our vices never solves the problems. But it's a great way to make money and justify authoritarian police actions.

  19. 2:29 - There's only two things the government fears - article 61 and unity of the people" - and Q - Three things! There's only three things the government fears... And if governments are afraid of unity of the people they don't have anything to fear - "the people" will never be unified because we keep letting those with the gold making the rules keep us at one-another over stupid culture war foolishness.

  20. The fact that people are still dealing with this BS in 2024 is pathetic. And I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that it's happening in one form or another all the prohibition states. Possibly even in some states that have legalized.
