This is the craziest one to me. Once upon a time, I worked as a grocer, and margins are insanely low. What few things did have good margins subsidized the particularly bad items (some of which would even lose money). Cutting out the profit would save shoppers no appreciable amount of money, and just creates headaches (if there's inventory loss, where does the money to cover it come from?)

And there's going to be plenty of shrinkage with the anti police initiatives.
this, we already subsidize farmers heavily in the country anyway, most food at my local grocery store is relatively low, in my area were paying anywhere from $80-$120 so its not too bad, most people who cant afford groceries would already resort to theft and yes, restricting police would make those stores look like Soviet-style empty shells within its first day of operation, its peak Communism
If they have a job it's no issue though. Plenty of cities even have a little card-scan system that your company can just pay for, so that you effectively can use the bus for free. The thing about just making it actually free is that there becomes even less you can do about the homeless / crazy / criminal class who ruin the experience for normal people.
thats also a good point, when I do have to go into the city (god-forbid) at least im only paying $16 both ways, and yeah now that you mention it the homeless and drug addicts are going to take advantage of that, its already bad enough in Boston and the subway system there is paid

Take this for what it is but is is the truth: unfortunately I have seen first hand how a militarized police force can be used in a city, against multi-generational families of the community in good standing because they went against deep pocket developers.
How do you propose we deal with wealthy, organized, criminal gangs run by foreigners that engage in human trafficking and extortion, without a "militarized" police force.
Have you seen Mexico?
 
I'm fucking dying that this is an actual screencap of an Irish parliamentary hearing.

Ireland Labour Leader Bacik: Unthinkable in a Western democracy. This week, a young Norwegian tourist was detained by ICE at Newark Airport and sent back to Oslo. Why? He had this meme on his phone...a meme depicting VP JD Vance as a baby.



The U.S. Customs and Border Protection X account has claimed that the Norwegian tourist was denied entry due to his admitted drug use.
 
These choices have been intentional since 2000 to break down how the public sees policing
Stop being a nigger and you'll get to see Officer Dan sporting only a service pistol and no body armor again.
Also federal responses have always involved being in full battle rattle. Fed responses today are much more milder than how they used to respond. I wish they'd respond in the old batshit insane ways they used to respond in regards to Antiftard activity and arresting illegals.

After a manhunt, Atlanta Police arrested 4 teens for allegedly ripping an LGBTQ flag. Police are reportedly considering hate crime charges.



3 of them have been charged with obstruction, criminal damage to property, conspiracy, and prowling. They are also facing the possibility of hate crimes charges. If convicted as a felony, they could be sentenced to more than 10 years behind bars.

Trump wraps his speech on the reconciliation bill: "Schumer -- our great Palestinian senator. He's changed. He used to like Jewish people, now he's totally against Jewish people. It's the most incredible transformation I think I've ever seen. But who would allow this to happen? Try the weightlifting numbers some day if you want to see some big differences. In a million years the women will never catch these numbers. It's not gonna happen. And it's very demeaning to women. And I don't like it when it's demeaning to women. So we're turning the country around fast. We love you all. Thank you very much."

 
"but what if the other side uses this against you!!!"

They did, they have, and they still do.
it's extra disingenuous because people on our side are not violent rioters who require militarized police to handle anyway.
if cops want to arrest me, they'll knock at my door, show me the warrant, and i'll come with them. whether the guy serving the warrant to me is a plain clothes officer or a gas mask wearing supersoldier in full body armor makes no difference to me at all cause i'm not the type to start shit with cops in the first place.
