Also, where I live i have heard 2 white guys complain about being stopped for a blinker or something and having the cop basically take the car apart looking for low windshield fluid and whatnot to add to the ticket.
A Virginia town had to pass a law because the sheriff parked his guys at an inspection station to ticket people whose sticker was a bit out of date.
In a nearby city, cops were writing tickets to pedestrians who entered crosswalks on the blinking walk signal.
So yeah the cops needed to be reigned in.

I had a cop lie to me about the plate display laws of a state on the other side of the country (where I was from and the car was registered) in order to try and tack on additional fines. He claimed his wife was from that state, and she told him [X], when in fact the law says [not X, except in very specific circumstances]. It was a shock, and seriously decreased my trust in police officers.

You cannot hate the government and yet worship its enforcement arm at the same time. That's why the new right hates cops. It's not that difficult a concept. If anything the old right's worship of cops was the anomoly.

a lot of people are just fuckign dumb. it's bewildering that they dislike the government, but think the cops are somehow beyond reproach.

This crap is bad enough, then you add on having them fail to file a report (or claim the complainants lost the item) when a robbery or other crime occurs. To be fair, I've had a couple of good interactions with cops but they really need to take public trust seriously.

The old right never hated the government. At most they believed in smaller government, which does not mean "no cops." You're conflating conservatives with libertarians. Who exactly is the "new right?" MAGA? Because MAGA certainly doesn't hate cops. Nick Fuentes and AF? Well of course they hate cops, they're all brown and pedophiles.

You realize ICE is law enforcement as well. Everyone who hates cops must also hate ICE, and their immigration enforcement efforts. Why don't you go out there in Portland and join every fag calling ICE pigs and fascists, because they share your worldview.

You do understand we can both distrust police (as we should) and also encourage them to do their fucking jobs (as we do), right? Police are still valuable, even though in the United States "Don't Talk to the Police" is standard legal procedure:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=d-7o9xYp7eELet the criminals do the talking and screw themselves over. I don't interact with police unless absolutely necessary. I know they're crooked as fuck, but I also know they're still useful and necessary.


lol these days I carry and I'm not stupid enough (anymore) to get out of my car if someone goes aggro, but I doubt being armed would make me very popular at the average Antifa party either.

I showed all of my chirren that "Don't Talk to the Police" video when I first saw it or when they were old enough to understand it. Not in a SovCit/ACAB way, but in that talking to them rarely, if ever, helps you. I also drilled it in to them that they should only provide information to Police once they have complete immunity, in hand and in writing signed by the prosecuting attorney or his designate.

I only distrust the local cops really. But I've seen ATF level screw over guys like CRS Firearms who they railroaded. Most people just have no clue on what's reality, they see some new reports and just go with it. That goes on all sides really. (ATF likes to just raid and shoot private dealers under biden, and Ruby Ridge was under HW Bush). Yes dealing with antifa punks and so on is great, but don't think they're always pure of heart.

DHS releases statement


DHS Releases New Information on Extensive Criminal History of Illegal Alien Ian Roberts who was Working as Iowa School Superintendent​

Release Date: October 3, 2025
WASHINGTON — Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released new information on criminal illegal alien Ian Andre Roberts, who was serving as Des Moines, Iowa’s school superintendent at the time of his Sept. 26 arrest.

When U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials approached Roberts, he identified himself then sped off, abandoned his vehicle, and hid in a brushy area about 200 meters away, where ICE officers located him with help from Iowa State Patrol officers. At the time of arrest, a loaded handgun, hunting knife and $3,000 cash were found in his vehicle. On Oct. 2, he was charged with being an illegal alien in possession of firearms.

Roberts’ rap sheet and immigration history reveal a long record of criminal conduct in the United States. He should never have been serving in a role overseeing children in Iowa’s largest school district.

“Ian Andre Roberts, a criminal illegal alien with multiple weapons charges and a drug trafficking charge, should have never been able to work around children,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “When ICE officers arrested this Superintendent, he was in possession of an illegal handgun, a hunting knife, and nearly $3,000 in cash. This criminal illegal alien is now in U.S. Marshals custody and facing charges for being an illegal alien in possession of a firearms. Under Secretary Noem, ICE will continue to arrest the worst of the worst and put the safety of America’s children FIRST.”

His criminal record includes the following:

  • July 3, 1996: Charges for criminal possession of narcotics with intent to sell, criminal possession of narcotics, criminal possession of a forgery instrument and possession of a forged instrument in New York.
  • Nov. 13, 1998: A charge for third-degree unauthorized use of a vehicle in Queens, New York, which was dismissed July 6, 1999.
  • Nov. 1, 2012: A conviction for reckless driving, unsafe operation and speeding in Maryland.
  • Feb. 3, 2020: Charges for second-degree criminal possession of a weapon (having a loaded firearm outside his home or business); third-degree criminal possession of a weapon (an ammunition feeding device); and fourth-degree weapon charges. A document from Feb. 4, 2020, indicates that the second-degree criminal possession charge was inchoate.
  • Jan. 20, 2022: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania convicted Roberts of unlawful possession of a loaded firearm.
  • Sept. 26, 2025: Roberts was arrested with a Glock 9mm pistol and a fixed-blade hunting knife in his possession. He also had $3,000 in cash.
  • Oct. 2, 2025: Roberts criminally charged with being an illegal alien in possession of firearms.
Roberts’ immigration history includes two visas, four Green Card applications and subsequent denials, and several trips:

  • June 1, 1994: Roberts entered the United States at John F. Kennedy International Airport on a B-2 nonimmigrant visa; he was classified as a visitor for pleasure. He departed the U.S. on an unknown date but returned before his 1996 arrest for narcotics possession.
  • March 8, 1999: He entered the U.S. through California’s San Francisco International Airport as an F-1 student visa holder. The visa was set to expire March 7, 2004. He departed the U.S. on an unknown date.
  • June 28, 1999: Roberts reentered the U.S. through San Francisco on the same F-1 student visa. He departed the U.S. on an unknown date.
  • Aug. 30, 1999: He again reentered the U.S. at JFK International Airport on the same student visa.
  • Feb. 9, 2000: Roberts filed an application for employment authorization, which U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services approved April 5, 2000, with an expiration date of April 1, 2001.
  • Sept. 4, 2000: He left the U.S. from JFK International Airport.
  • Sept. 30, 2000: Roberts entered the U.S. again at JFK International Airport on the same F-1 student visa.
  • May 21, 2001: He filed a green card application with USCIS, which the agency rejected Jan. 3, 2003.
  • May 15, 2018: Roberts filed another green card application with USCIS, which the agency again rejected on May 30 that year.
  • June 4, 2018: Roberts filed another green card application, which USCIS rejected for the third time June 20 that year.
  • July 15, 2018: He filed for employment authorization documents, which USCIS granted on Dec. 18 that year, giving the documents an expiration date of Dec. 18, 2019.
  • July 16, 2018: Roberts filed, for the fourth time, a green card application. USCIS denied it Jan. 24, 2020.
  • Nov. 18, 2019: He filed another application for employment authorization documents, which USCIS approved Dec. 3 of that year and issued an expiration date of Dec. 18, 2020.
  • Feb. 11, 2020: Roberts updated his address with USCIS.
  • Oct. 2, 2020: USCIS issued him a notice to appear before an immigration judge.
  • May 22, 2024: An immigration judge in Dallas, Texas, ordered Roberts removed in absentia.
  • April 24, 2025: An immigration judge in Dallas denied Roberts’ motion to reopen his case.
  • Sept. 26, 2025: ICE officials arrested Roberts in Des Moines, Iowa.
Roberts is now in U.S. Marshals custody and will be prosecuted for his recent crimes.

They need to end the requirement of MBE/WBE in government contracts, PERIOD.

1759519729675.png

Note the first bid consideration. You MUST commit to sub out X percentage of the total contract cost to firms that are minority- or women-owned. It's listed on the county website as "Encouraging a level playing field." The firm I worked for just used the same electrical contractor for every job. The token niggers, if you will.
 
I'd argue there's so many crooked cops because there's basically no reason for a good person to be a cop these days. Imagine how demoralizing it is to see nigger #38 just let go despite the fact you caught him in the act of beating the dogshit out of an old lady.

The benefits of the job don't outweigh the danger at all, and on top of that, you can't even say you've made the community better because shitty ass judges won't let you.

Why not just replace them with robots?

I don't want to them to completely replace cops, but a supporting co-bot would help. Think of it like a big body cam, with arms, a gun, and limited self agency. My friends over at Nova Laboratories Inc. already have some mockups for DHS. BP_jonny.jpg

But if I'm being serious, I do actually think pairing cops and LEOs with robotic support is a good idea and can act as tool both for their duties and for holding them more accountable. Imagine an ICE agent not chasing a illegal on foot or in a car, risking harm to himself and the soon to be detained, and instead sicing his DARPA dog on them to tackle and pin them. The agent never needs to risk being injured and the criminal at worst damages some fed property if they get violent. I won't drag on about this but supplemental robotic support for LEOs would help everyone by reducing the risk involved with being a LEO and in dealing with one.

"Sic Semper Tyrannis"
"Don't Tread On Me"
"The purpose of the 2nd ammendment is to defend against tyranny"
"From my cold, dead hands"

Clearly all these slogans from the old right were talking about how much they love government.

The reason you're upset right now is because what I said triggered the part of your brain that noticed this massive contradiction. You're trying to soothe yourself by dismissing me as some anarchist or left winger. But the truth is that your slavish worship of law enforcement just doesn't make any sense. Law enforcement are tools. If the tool does what you want, keep using it. If it doesn't, fix it. If it's a danger to you and your family, discard it and use something else. At no point should you become emotionally attached to the tool, or feel indignant on its behalf. That's just weird. The new right, those under 30, can see that pretty clearly. If you have trouble with that... well that's just a you problem.
 
So what happens if the portland police force are literally an arm of Antifa, or are otherwise completly rogue? Fire them all or whatever sounds funny but then the area has no police. Maybe the national guard takes over for awhile?

Why does everyone on the farms think the entire world is corrupt and out to get them? I mean, yeah, the jews stole my foreskin, but I bet if some of them could, they would return it to me if possible and reattach it. Also, I don't care about protestors of any political side getting fucked because they are annoying and should get real jobs, like posting sick posts in A&N all day.

Kiwifarms are the true jews. Just once, I would like for our people not to be holocausted by troons and the New Zealand/Bong government. Must we always be doomed to wander the digital desert? Our prophet, being denied his European cheeses? Were we born to suffer as the children of Terry Davis?

Hamas said on Friday night that it had agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages held in Gaza as well as the bodies of those who had died, in response to the peace proposal introduced by President Trump earlier this week.

In a statement posted online on Friday night, the armed group said it would release the hostages “according to the exchange formula contained in President Trump’s proposal, and as the field conditions for the exchange are met.”

“In this context, the movement affirms its readiness to immediately enter into negotiations through the mediators to discuss these details,” the group added.

The statement also said the group agreed “to hand over the administration of the Gaza Strip to a Palestinian body of independent technocrats, based on Palestinian national consensus and Arab and Islamic support.”

But it was not clear from that language if Hamas had agreed to a stipulation in the proposal that called for the group to be barred from exercising political power in Gaza in the future, or if it saw a place for itself or its members among that body of technocrats.

The question is whether Hamas’s response will satisfy Israel and the White House. The statement, for example, did not address key elements of the American proposal that called on the group to give up its arms, which has been a major demand of Israel.

Hamas also did not address the offer of amnesty to its members who commit to coexistence.

The war in Gaza began after the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, in which roughly 1,200 people were killed and 250 more taken hostage.

Since then, the Israeli military response has killed more than 60,000 Palestinians, including both civilians and combatants, according to the Gaza health ministry, and destroyed the territory’s infrastructure.
