I've been thinking of relocating away from the DC area and eventually, a database of police and local government attitudes will be one of the primary factors in deciding where to relocate, if I decide to do so.

Obviously NY, Seattle, Minneapolis, Louisville, and Asheville NC are not under consideration.

Police have proven, without a doubt, in the past week, that they cosplay as military because they lack the necessary discipline to join the actual service, and that the only joy they get in life is to take a break from beating their wives to inflict violence on innocent civilians. They're a rogue force that must be defunded and disbanded.

It's been remarkable to watch the military, where they've been involved, handle things so much better than the police have. The difference in training and attitude couldn't be clearer and it makes the police look even worse by comparison.

Yes, I would very much like to hear what the service members onsite have to say about the police behaviors they witnessed.

It truly seems that the military members' first and foremost allegiance is to the country -- and that for many cops, their allegiance is to their department.

Disturbing thought of the week: would a coup actually be an improvement on the current situation?

No, because now you have two problems: police brutality and a coup. What's needed right now is a strong declaration, the creation of new country-wide laws forcing 3-years police training focused on violence de-escalation, an independent body of investigation specialized on police abuse allegations, a higher standard of accountability than regular citizens for police, obligatory bodycam footage, malpractice insurance, and automatic firing for hate speech and blatant racism.
