      incidentally, "conservative" here just means we wear athleticwear for, or to signal participation in, athletics. as such we expect athleticwear brands to promote an image of performance and athleticism this is lifestyle brand adverts 101. nike's image is not pure athletics now

      (admittedly, being professionally woke not only consumes all productive / working hours, but appears to gobble up any remaining time one might devote to such athletic pursuits as running and lifting and fucking. so, ymmv if you are a millennial approaching your midlife crisis.)

      ALSO, lest there be any undue confusion w/r/t gen Z, "conservative" also means conservative about wasting irreplaceable resources like our motherfucking time and we grew up on YT. anyone with YT can see what cops are up to. this whole thing makes no goddamn sense:

      1) kneeling is a *fine* choice. unlike you shitheads who block motorways & kill people enroute to hospitals, kneeling has zero impact on people's intrinsic liberties 2) kaep picked kneeling (vs standing silent) w/ help from mil friends, to convey respect while delivering the msg

      we know this and have known this forever bc it's information and ~all info exists online with trivial delay so this situation is perplexing, inasmuch as we *cannot into* why a 2-week topic at most remains atop the zeitgeist, unsolved, no consensus, TWENTY-SIX MONTHS AND COUNTING

      yeah. it's not like i expect everyone to agree 100%, but 26 mo. in, all three tribes maintain their own factsets. Not different interpretations of observations -- literally incompatible "facts", which none of them bother to try to vet or observe or spot-check for accuracy

      these "factsets" are all inaccurate, and yet the tribes yell and polarize, instead of spending 1% of that time and energy on checking their datasets

      As former military police I should care about slander against my former profession but for some strange reason don't. Maybe become a tiny percentage of cops really are violent brutes and as someone who just wanted to do my 9 to 5 without incident I hated working with them.

      Imagine having a job that destroys your body. Every year a suspect fights you. This year you will get stabbed in the kidneys. Next year your jaw will be broken, etc. You have to endure 20 years of this to retire. Now would you give a shit about police brutality?

          - there's a lot of angles i could come at the issue bc it's systemic at this point, everything feeds back into everything. but a rough answer is US cops aren't paid near enough to care about it - in general i'd be less displeased w/ the average PD if they followed mil rules tho

          AF screens out criminals, so Air Force has very little crime. (Unlike the Army which has like a rape every week AF has almost none). On top of that AF cops are accountable to base commanders while Army MPs r not TLDR: whose rules? Varries by service

          maybe... anyone but army's then haha. for marines we can limit it to the ones allowed overseas, slightly higher standard there maybe that's a good standard to emulate -- have cops meet the same criteria used for overseas screenings

          might cause a supply shortage, but ignoring that as a possible bottleneck it's a good goal: those screenings, as you doubtless know, are basically just sanity checking 2 things. probability to cause an international incident, and financial susceptibility to bribery and corruption

          At root, or near it, this happens because it is incentivized to happen. The largest change needed is in the pay. Everything else technically then falls into place via market forces. Ballpark, 1/4 the # of cops & maybe 3x the pay would be about righthttps://twitter.com/AMK2934/status/1046474271965540352 …

          5 Problem with the police is that it attracts thugs. I joined the AF because I was a month behind on my rent and they chose my job for me.

          A In a privately owned city state with high incomes this is not an issue. The incomes r high enough/crime rate low enough that highly paid police can work, and with high pay you can demand any kind of screening you want. But is places where the citizens are a net drain on revenue
