Charles Barkley supports the Ferguson grand jury decision. He says If it were not for cops, Black Neighborhoods would be The wild, wild west.

I'd be more impressed if that were Gnarls Barkley.

I really think we need to get a grip on the police force. Proper training on how to actually diffuse a situation, less military grade gear, and cameras for every single one of them.

It might keep the overzealous cops in check, while providing supporting evidence when extreme force is legitimately needed. 2nd one, I'm iffy on. The only thing I see is that today the 'typical' blue uniformed cop who pulls out a pistol, when the 'bad guy' pulls out an Uzi... it's like, no contest.  Maybe seeing a cop in full body armor and a shield will give some of those guys a second thought. 
 Quote:The only thing I see is that today the 'typical' blue uniformed cop who pulls out a pistol, when the 'bad guy' pulls out an Uzi... Truthfully, that's not a very common scenario. Usually the cop shoots someone who is simply unarmed.
No. We shouldn't be arming every cop to the teeth, just in case the other guy has an automatic weapon. You know when you take the job that you're putting your life on the line. If you're not willing to take that risk, you shouldn't be trying to get a job as a cop.

But, I'm thinking about the situations where something really does go down. Taking away fire power from all police, like in the cases where it is legitimately needed, is like saying we should get rid of cars because many accidents are caused by drunk drivers.
The trouble is that if you give them that power they use to collect student loans.

Charles Barkley: HA HA HA!!! THAT FREE EDUCATION DON'T FEEL SO FREE NOW, DOES IT BITCH???
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
