Is there any other gig where you get reported for misconduct 32 times but you still keep your job and take home more than 100k? All of them look like they peaked in high school.Tweet

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
$190k feck me!
I bet he made shitloads more in scams and backhanders.

Lower than dirt.
Are American police officers really on 100k?
War Crimes. Looking forward to the Tribunales.
Lower than dirt.
Yeah this surprises me too. Some big ass salaries they've got there.
No way on salary alone but perhaps with tons of OT. Would be my guess.
Remember this? pure scum. https://www.al.com/news/2019/12/mob...e-homeless-people-in-viral-facebook-post.html

I can see Breitbart framing the homeless man shooting "Cowardly Violent Thug Protestors Use Wheelchair-bound Homeless Man as Shield"
It probably varies wildly by state/distract.
It's surely no accident that they're choosing to shoot people's faces - a message is being sent out but, due to its violent nature, it will be ignored by demonstrators.

By rights this should mean that the Army are going to put the Police Forces down to stop the violence?
The Twitter mob usually ID these people very quickly. Strange that its taking so long.
As porn stars?
I saw a post on here earlier where somebody had ID'd him and passed on info to the police. I'm hoping we see more on the story.

Starting salary: $42,500
Salary after 5 ½ years: $85,292.
Including holiday pay, longevity pay, uniform allowance, night differential and overtime, police officers may potentially earn over $100,000 per year.
My guess would be lieutenants, captains, and chiefs make over 100K but also have far more service time. But making 100K in NYC is like making 50K in rural America.

I didn't call you a cnut, I said it was impressive that you hadn't been called one.
It's time to move away from 'being polite' to people with views like yours. If you look through the thread similar approaches have been taken with those expressing these views. Some have even been banned.
Missed the point here. The point is that there is a glass ceiling preventing non white British staff from getting these roles. That is clear and obvious by the figures. Regardless, still a daft point because there are plenty of Black and Asian British citizens in the NHS. The problem you have is that you are denying this glass ceiling exists because of course "there isn't much systematic racism" even though there are hundreds of articles, statistics and people within the NHS literally saying there's a problem.
Erm, no, that's not entirely what you said. What you initially did was say this
Which I think was your way of trying to appear impartial but by your next post, your real views were quickly established.
Please explain to me how 'financial situation' is relevant to refusing black and Asian people rental properties, denying them job roles and not promoting them to higher roles within the NHS.
100k is very low for NYC. I've heard of cops in So Cal making much more than that with OT.
A lot of NYPD officers get poached by departments in Westchester County or Long Island willing to pay more in both base pay and overtime.
Yeah it's not competitive pay. It is a good way to get police experience then jump ship elsewhere.
feck me, I’ve missed my calling in life.
Actually, no I haven’t
Actually, no I haven’t
Will the job changes you though? I don't think anyone joining the police are looking to brutalize people from the get go
WHITE COMPLICITY MATTERS

Musa Okwonga’s message to white people following the murder of George Floyd ~
'But I do wonder: how much more do people need to see? Why was it necessary for me to go on television and give further context to a man being casually choked to death by a policeman’s knee? Why was it necessary for me to go on there and become so nervous I had not done the interview justice that I could not bring myself to watch it for almost two days? Why, for those two days, did I have to carry the burden of shame that I may have let down the black community, only feeling redeemed by the fact that an activist I greatly admire then shared my interview on social media? Why did I have the pressure of explaining oppression? Why, in order to make more white people care, do we black people have to make our deaths sound poetic?'

Did it used to be or is it still the case that a fair number of recruits come from the military and I'm sure they are screened very effectively but perhaps the odd one who enjoys confrontation gets through. Then there are the inadequate ones who might normally be desk bound (I'm sure I noticed a fairly obese cop popping away with a bean bag gun on a vid) who is a bit unreliable.
Otherwise it is being encouraged by their President to get their yearly target practice completed on moving targets.
I think in America in particular that is exactly what is happening. Imagine knowing you can get a job with no qualifications, have little to no discipline, get relatively well paid, progress and get paid more, carry guns, drive cars fast, smash peoples doors in, get into fights and then on top of that never be held accountable when you feck up. Imagine the sorts that will appeal to. It's a sad but real consequence that a lot of men will join the police purely for the power. The only way you stop this is via a stricter recruitment policy.
Something that's happening in the UK. Dunno how many are aware but in the UK it is now compulsory to have a degree to be a police officer. You can join without one but you have to undergo studying for the first three years and attain a degree in policing. Now that's not going to solve all the problems at that recruitment stage but it will definitely weed out a significant amount of what I can only to describe as'wrong uns'. I can't see certain brutes and cowboys being happy to study and write essays in their time off work to become a police officer. Doubt America will ever adapt such a policy though.
Cops actually make a lot of money on the side. Consulting with private security firms, helping other PD’s as outside consultant or just helping firms recruit. Lot of them actually look to their NYPD gig as a safety net so that they can eventually transition to a better private gig.
What. The. feck.

Mechanically enhanced vagrant poses threat to brave law enforcement officers.
Are there any broader calls for reform of the American policing infrastructure in the media, or are they just acting 'outraged' at isolated incidents?
Sad as it is, the fact it's an old white man that got slumped and left for dead will have more affect on the masses, but has that been the only incident that's crossed over, or are there more? I should guess the image above of the guy in the wheelchair will become iconic.
Is this stuff being broadcast and relayed into homes of the unwitting, or is it just those perusing social media that are getting a broader education on how rotten the system is?

Reminds me of the incident recently where a black man in London was arrested during some ridiculous stop and search procedure and the fact he was a paramedic had to be emphasised because without that fact a lot of people would have just shrugged. We are still at the stage where black lives need to be humanised and validated.

Trump's tactic has literally been to beat protesters in to submission whilst using symbolism and rhetoric to embolden his 'base' supporters to get armed and to the streets in support.

This is why the protests need to continue. If they stop now, it will be seen as a victory for Trump and his bullying/"domination" tactics.
Exactly. This momentum cannot stop, even in protests in our nations across Europe as it's the only way to force our leaders to come out and call this shit for what it is - the acts of a brutal dictator. Allies not willing to step on each others toes isn't an excuse when we are supposed to be the moral shining light of freedom and democracy.
