Completely disagree with that first bit and it boils my *text deleted* when people bring that straw man arguements. It’s like when Boston Marathon attacks happened and people were coming out with that crap about more Americans are killed by baths.
And death resulting from an accident is completely different to someone actively taking the steps to cause disorder, chaos and death in the name of an idealogy (or fairytale) statements like that completely cheapen it.
More people are killed by RTCs than guns in American but you still see the left pushing that agenda.
There’s a line between tolerance and understand, and being a bitch, bending over and throwing away the lube.
Look at the rise of right wing politics and nationalism across the US, and Europe. The people have had enough. People are sick of crap like this, and the political elite are so far up their own hoops with their own agendas, they have a huge gap between the regular joe on the street and the rest of their cronies.
The last part I completely agree with, any small detail can help.
Playing devils advoste.... You don’t see any Sikhs going round slitting people’s throats do you? Funny that.
Maybe if the police actually did their job instead of chasing imaginary thought crime, wasting money painting police cars with rainbows and being dragged into BS cases.....
Before we go any further, I’ll post this disclaimer.
This is a debate and there is nothing personal here, I still love you. Lots.
So, let’s address a few of your
opinions just incase anyone thinks they are
facts
Firstly, my point wasn’t about comparing one cause of death with another. It was an attempt to highlight the theatre of terrorism and how our overreacting can play straight into their hands.
The theatre of terror cannot succeed without publicity. Unfortunately, the media all too often provides this publicity for free. It obsessively reports terror attacks and greatly inflates their danger, because reports on terrorism sell. Terrorists hold our imagination captive, and use it against us.
Secondly, I am on duty tonight and I can assure you I will not be deployed to any “thought crimes”. I shan’t be racing in my rainbow coloured car to arrest someone for tweeting a rude word. Don’t buy into the hysterical press reports that officers spend all their time attending Pride marches.
What you may not be aware of is how Police are required to operate under NCRS and home office counting rules. Therefore, tonight I will only be deployed to incidents involving threat/harm/risk. Although I am one of those annoying posey types that carries a bang bang stick I have opted for some overtime on response, I’m money grabbing.
To demonstrate this here is a list of the jobs I personally attended last night (sanitised for data)
3
x Domestics resulting in two males arrested for assault.
2 x Drunk and Disorderly. One male further arrested for assault police.
Sus males stopped and searched- One arrested for possession of Class A.
High risk missing person search- No trace
Grade one response to stolen motorbike. Offenders made off, motorbike forensically recovered
Area search for wanted male
1
female detained under mental Health act.
Granted it is not an exhaustive list but it gives you a genuine snap shot of a typical duty. Rest assured despite what you might
think you know counter terrorism police are working daily to counter the threat. The threat from terrorism is real and serious. We've seen that terrorists can strike at any time and any place without warning. The police serve a key role in protecting the UK- they aren’t too busy painting rainbow flags.
I read an article once that I think the hysterical right and hysterical left both need to read. Here’s a quote
Terrorists are like a fly that tries to destroy a china shop. The fly is so weak that it cannot budge even a single teacup. So it finds a bull, gets inside its ear and starts buzzing. The bull goes wild with fear and anger, and destroys the china shop.
