An Australian motovlogger shoots dogs - with a DriftHD 1080P camera. His other armament? Treats.
This postal worker comes across friendly dogs, but also plenty of vicious dogs who will bite him if they get a chance. And sometimes, those dogs get loose. He nonchalantly points to a dog who bit him in the past. He wants people to know that "posties" love dogs. What would he think of our American police state that trains officers to shoot any kind of breed? Without prompting.
But police officers always voice the fear of getting bit. This fear is upheld in the highest honor to them. "They were not bit because of their quick action. Basically, that was the end of the story." They shoot dogs before there would even be a remote possibility. It's the end of every senselessly bloody story where the owner is left to clean the mess; left with the bill and a ticket. "All I have to say is that I feel they're a threat."
Unfortunately, witnesses often report the dog's friendly demeanor, but officers will falsify reports or say "there was a look in his eye." They offer absurd, irrational responses. They intrude on someone's property and then claim the dog was "aggressing" them, when it barks or approaches. They cry "Pitbull!" when it's not, nor is that a cause for execution. Let's not forget that killing animals for no cause is a hallmark of psychopaths.
But regular, rational people cannot fathom this, so they might go along with blaming the owners. They might claim there is a lack of proper training, that officers should be encouraged to use non-lethal methods. They already can but they don't. "If they hesitate it could be their own lives," people have said. To date, no officers have been killed by dogs. But one recently coaxed a friendly dog over to him in order to kill it. People need to know that none of these things account for police killing tiny breeds, chained or tied dogs, cats, kittens, squirrels, baby deer, docile cows, or a parakeet - and of course, innocent people. Nor does it account for using live, injured animals for target practice.
Mind acrobatics must be performed to justify the widespread killing of domestic companions when you consider that there has not been a movement on the part of postal workers and all forms of delivery people to be allowed to shoot animals that they come into personal contact with on a daily basis. Nor would society be too keen on arming them for indiscriminate blasting or cutting - not even for fear's sake.
One guy wants to show you how to get the job done. Please also see The Free Thought Project's report on the topic, where I saw this video first.

"The biggest mistake that libertarians make is the way they view government and
private sectors. Government is the root of all evil, and the private sector is
the source of all good. Libertarians have never figured out that people are the
same whether in the government or in the private sector." --Paul Craig Roberts
I vaguely remember that,or a case very similar. It was reported that the applicant was turned down because he was "too smart to be a cop".
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
No, I'm not kidding. They indicated that many PDs rejected anyone with an IQ as high as 110. Average intelligence or lower only. And no one with a strongly formed moral character that might lead them to act independently. Meaning pretty much devout Christians of any flavor.
The studies I am talking about were done since then and reflected changes in hiring policy mostly implemented from 2006 onward. Which is around the time that PDs started getting out of control with militarization. I think it is the various private police training companies and suppliers that have promoted this new policing style we have now.
Project much?
No, I'm not kidding. They indicated that many PDs rejected anyone with an IQ as high as 110. Average intelligence or lower only. Let's clarify,ok? You are still making the claim that combat veterans have below normal IQ's?

You have trouble grasping this apparently. No. I never said that at all. I'm saying that many PDs have switched to a policy by which they prefer to hire vets but they do not hire any with an IQ above 100 as a matter of policy. If you're a dumb vet (like a 90 IQ), you're in. If you're an average vet (100 IQ), you're in. If you're a smart vet (IQ 110+), hit the road 'cause they don't want you. Also, serious Christians need not apply. I'm rather surprised you never read those threads over at LP. We had a number of them talking about this policy change and that it was happening all around the country. I'm pretty sure these pieces were written at the end of the Bush years, before Obama came to power. For that matter, they were written before LP started having so many anti-cop articles posted every day.
I did read several of them,but I never once read one where someone stated that combat vets have low IQ's,which is exactly what you wrote. I didn't think you meant to express it that way and stated as much,so I asked you twice what your intent was. And got attitude in return.

Maybe you wouldn't be so
bitchy if you could find a man.
Because I did not say that at all. Read it again and show me where I said that.
You still can't see how that reads?

Of
course, that's kind of a given.

Pete, what TC is trying to say is this.... 1) LE perfers to hire combat vets (this is true) 2) LE likes middle to low IQ combat vets for hire (this I disagree with) 3) he is not saying all combat vets are low IQ... he's just claiming that LE won't hire the high IQ combat vets... which means TC admits some vets have high IQ's. Now... LE likes hiring combat vets because your government has incentives for hiring them. The government has had programs in the past where they pay the salary for the first 3 years if an agency hires military personnel that was in a war zone. I have never seen any agency test for IQ.
Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
You seem determined to read it in a way that is derogatory. First and foremost they want vets. Period, full stop. But not if they are above average IQ. Or highly educated. Especially not if they are committed serious Christians. I don't know how many times or how many ways I can say it.
And I say you're a sad little Freeper disruptor who can't get a man.
If you repeat that lie ten times do you get a prize?

If the prize is no more of your queefing, sign me up.
Does that mean you didn't just pull that lie out of your posterior? Okay, what's the cite?

You are quite a helpless little thing, aren't you? Desperate to get a man to do anything for you, it seems. BTW, this was just the first search result I submitted so it didn't take any real talent to find this. You could have done it yourself in seconds if you weren't fixated on me like some crazy beyotch. DDG: police hiring discriminating against Christians and high IQ applicants Since you probably can't click a link unsupervised: Or are the courts saying that all vets are retarded, which is what I'm being accused of saying when all I did was report a ~5yo story accurately. Not that I am trolling for any apologies and don't want any. Also, for G.I., it seems someone is testing (or obtaining) IQ assessments on applicants. For vets, this might come from service records if the .gov is paying job training expenses and sharing info with the hiring PD.
Posting links that don't say what you falsely claimed. The favorite trick of cowardly liars everywhere. I'll give you another chance. Try not to punk out this time.

Maybe you'd be a less annoying woman if you spent more time with your vibrator. Seriously.
As predicted.

I know the Canaries with you as their Canaryette sidekick think you win every argument with annoying graphics but it isn't true. It just looks weak. I kicked your ass and you refuse to admit it. Fine, a garden-variety troll and contrarian. And a petty forum stalker to boot.
The national average IQ for police officers is 104, well above yours. Lemme know if you ever come up with that cite.

I think the objective for an ideal discussion is to learn and/or to teach. It's kinda like a market exchange insofar as each person does it for mutual gain. You should look upon a discussion as a pathway to intellectual growth and not as a way of "kicking someone's ass."
1999.....16 years ago when the 48 year old with a literature degree wasn't given an interview? You were critical of my post because it was from 2004. Hypocritical of you, wouldn't you say? Is name calling part of your game?
LOLAYDA.
That's yes in libertarianism, no doubt.
LOLAYDA
Seriously. It’s considered abusive behavior when you resort to such a disparaging and grossly undignified remark. You really should be above doing this. It reflects poorly on this forum for lurkers to see such a thing.
Some very witty riposte there, Fred. Ain't it rich?
He wasn't actually looking at it that way. He was caught lying and that's his way of trying to cover his humiliation. He isn't capable of honest discussion.

I should. But I'm not.
Nothing new?
That's blatantly obvious.
Nothing new.

Not at all. I posted the first four links of the first search I made, to accommodate your bitchy demand for cites to support my statement. Of those four results, 2 were ~15 years old and the remaining 2 were less than three years old. All supported exactly what I had said and affirmed that it was not only the establishing hiring practices of a number of PDs but that the courts supported this (anti-white) discrimination as lawful. In short, I knocked it out of the park on the first swing without trying. And you're trying to pretend it didn't happen. AGAIN. This is not the first time you've made a complete fool of yourself trying to hound me. It's not even the first time this week.
This one, politicalblindspot.com/po...with-high-iq-scores/...is a real joke.
Can you view videos these days, or are you still on dial up?
Ethel was a bit of a demon in her scooter and loved to charge around the nursing home, taking corners on one wheel and getting up to maximum speed on the long corridors Because the poor woman was one sandwich short of a picnic the other residents tolerated her and some of them actually joined in.. One day Ethel was speeding up one corridor when a door opened and Kooky Clarence stepped out with his arm outstretched. 'STOP!,' he shouted in a firm voice. 'Have you got a license for that thing?' Ethel fished around in her handbag and pulled out a Kit Kat wrapper and held it up to him. 'OK' he said and away Ethel sped down the hall. As she took the corner near the TV lounge on one wheel, weird Harold popped out in front of her and shouted 'STOP! Have you proof of insurance?' Ethel dug into her handbag, pulled out a drink coaster and held it up to him. Harold nodded and said ' On your way, Ma'am. ' As Ethel neared the final corridor, Creepy Fred stepped out in front of her, Butt-Naked, and holding his 'You-Know-What' in his hand. 'Oh, good grief,' yelled Ethel, 'Not that Damn Breathalyzer Test again.!!!'

There was an incident in the city
of New London, Connecticut, 19 years ago, where an applicant with an IQ
equivalent to 125 was turned down because the the department figured he would
get bored with police work. However, the very same article that reported the
New London incident noted that the average IQ score nationally for
police is about 104.

Combat vets. They exclude people with IQs over 100. Also anyone with much education. They exclude people with a strong personal moral code like Christianity that might override commands given by superiors, as in being ordered to beat an irascible old guy in a wheelchair in Texas (an actual case a fine Christian officer was dismissed over).
