Being a homeowner is one of the biggest responsibilities in my life. The weekend we closed on our house, we bought a security system. I feel like that’s honestly the biggest assurance we have that we are protected. I can’t recommend it enough. We have 24/7 monitoring, all our windows and doors have sensors, outdoor and indoor cameras, glass break detectors, flood detectors, and combo CO/smoke detectors. Have felt very safe with that and don’t feel the need to get a gun in my relatively safe neighborhood.

I totally get this, but what really hit me and helped me get over this was college. A zero on a test I hadn’t studied for and decided to just skip cause I was embarrassed was much worse for my overall grade than a 50% or whatever it was. It also pushed me to do better on the next one. My first year of college netted me like a 2.0 GPA and when I finally went back a few years later this strategy led to my 3.9 GPA. I wasn’t smarter or anything, but I changed my mindset.

Read the room dude. Most other jobs don’t give their employees weapons and access to data that isn’t available to the public. This isn’t an isolated incident, this happens daily across the US where a cop has been caught doing something sick and twisted. Settlements against the police have totaled over 1.5 billion dollars for gross misconduct and negligence. Obviously there is an evaluation and obviously it is flawed, enough said.

Well since the police don’t actually prevent crime and only show up after the fact that’s not a problem. What good was calling 911 for the children of Uvalde? Or how about Christian Glass?

I witnessed an attempted kidnapping at gun point and got the victim to safety and it took police 30 minutes to arrive. I even stopped an officer on the street to let them know I had called 911 and asked if they could help, and they said to wait for the officer who was dispatched … cops are useless and you are a bootlicker.

Okay cop, you’re not really welcome to comment on this when you’re inadvertently saying there’s plenty of evaluation that goes into being fit to serve. Obviously there’s huge flaws in the system then.
