How much money do the police cost the USA?


Any of you kidbits pay property taxes? Do you check that little box to get your receipt? When you get your receipt you see the break down and how the vast majority of your taxes goes to the police. So you are basically paying people to threaten your life, and terrorize you who do nothing about the road ragers.

Never once been threatened by the police.

But then again I don't commit crimes or break the law.

Funny that

reply

Really? You never got a traffic ticket? Just because you're oblivious to it doesn't mean they aren't. They threaten you every day just by carrying guns.

reply

Even a traffic ticket doesn't involve you getting your life threatened or someone terrorizing you. Very melodramatic. And no. Never had one. Shocker.

Just because you're oblivious to it doesn't mean they aren't

Is there a point to that statement.

They threaten you every day just by carrying guns.

That is a completely ambiguos statement. Someone carrying a knife or a baseball bat can threaten you. The carrying of an item does not automatically mean that there is a threat

So you hate the police. Got it. Never call them then. Sort out your own probelsm when you are the victim of crime.

Defund the police and watch crime spike. You know who that will affect the most. The people that actually need them.

"Even a traffic ticket doesn't involve you getting your life threatened"

Yet it does. You're very naive.

"Is there a point to that statement."

Don't you know what the word "oblivious" means?

"Someone carrying a knife or a baseball bat can threaten you." Knives and baseball bats weren't designed to kill people. Guns have one purpose, that is to kill people or other living things. That is precisely what they were designed to do.

What's the purpose of a traffic ticket?

reply

What's the purpose of not being able to think for yourself? To believe everything you have ever been told and not question the logic of it?

What's the purpose of a traffic ticket?

As a revenue builder for the city police departments. To fund the coffers and provide pizza parties of the city police departments.

reply

nothing to do with dangerous driving?

reply

No that's partly why I am so pissed off. Every damn morning road ragers are getting more violent. They are now doing it in SUVs. But the police are elsewhere, hanging out in their party homes they bought for the purpose while we pay them.

reply

You bring up a great point

reply

Thanks. Glad there is someone else who can think for themselves.

you obviously don't know millsey72

reply

I been stopped by the police more'n 13 times already.

reply

How does that make you feel? Supposing you do or did pay property taxes and knowing a big chunk of it goes to funding the police, how would that make you feel?

reply

You're a really special kind of stupid. The funny thing is that people like you wouldn't survive in the anarchy you 'think' you want.

reply

You already know you're dealing with a cretin when they use phrases like "a special kind of..". I don't think I want anarchy. I want rule of law and unlike you I do not believe government should be above the law and I do not want these maniacs with guns rampaging all over every street in America mugging people and doing little about crime and road rage.

Why do you believe police and other employees of the government should be above the law?

Think about this carefully with this low witted brain of yours. We know exactly where not to go to keep safe from criminals. However, everywhere we go, police lurk endangering our lives and threatening to mug us. We are prisoners in our own homes because any moment you could get pulled over by one of these maniacs who has had a bad day.

How much money do criminals cost the USA?

reply

How about that be your homework assignment. Compare the amount the police cost the USA to that of criminals. Let's just stick to the petty crime that police deal with and skip the corporate crime that police turn a blind eye to.

reply

Just say you hate the police and get it over with. Probably because most of your family is in prison. You're probably writing from there right now.

I'm still not loving police.

reply

Police are critical infrastructure for society.

To disagree is the most idiotic thing I've read in a while.

HOWEVER there is a sure-fire way to be rid of them if you really want. Stop committing ALL crime.

Easy.

reply

Cops don’t cost nearly as much as this shit stain and his disciples do.
