More fallout from George Floyd’s precedent that submitting to law enforcement is optional if you are having a bad day, from the NW News Network:
See ya! Washington police say drivers aren’t stopping for them; cite pursuit restrictions
NWNews | By Austin Jenkins
Published May 26, 2022 at 5:14 PM PDTSince January of this year, more than 900 drivers have failed to stop for a Washington State Patrol trooper trying to pull them over. The patrol and other police agencies around the state say they’ve never seen such blatant disregard for their lights and sirens. The change in driver behavior comes after state lawmakers passed strict new rules on when police can engage in pursuits.
It was just before 6 p.m. on a Wednesday evening last month when a state trooper spotted a white BMW with California license plates passing on a double yellow line along Deschutes Parkway near Washington’s Capitol.
Recalling how calm and nice the drivers in Spokane were on my recent visit, this anecdote reminds me of England’s Locomotive Acts of 1865-1896:
In the United Kingdom, the Locomotive Acts was a policy requiring self-propelled vehicles to be led by a pedestrian waving a red flag or carrying a lantern to warn bystanders of the vehicle’s approach.
In the interest of public safety, the state of Washington should legally mandate that all white BMWs with California license plates must be preceded by a man walking down the street waving a red flag and shouting to pedestrians, “Run for your lives! A white BMW from California is coming!”
Dashcam video from that evening shows the trooper trying to catch up to the speeding car.
But when the trooper closed the gap with the BMW near the edge of downtown Olympia and turned on his flashing lights, the car didn’t pull over. Instead, the driver took off.
The video, obtained through a public records request, shows the car weaving in and out of lanes, taking a hard right turn, running a stop sign and then a red light and narrowly missing cars before racing off in the direction it had come. The trooper did not give chase.
The Washington State Patrol (WSP) says drivers refusing to stop for troopers is an increasingly common occurrence. From January 1 to May 17 of this year, the agency logged 934 failure-to-yield incidents. While the patrol didn’t track this in the past, veteran troopers say there’s been a dramatic uptick in drivers fleeing traffic stops.
“Something’s changed. People are not stopping right now,” said Sgt. Darren Wright, a WSP spokesperson with 31 years on the job. “It’s happening three to five times a shift on some nights and then a couple times a week on day shift.”
It’s not just the State Patrol that’s noticing the trend. So are local police departments. The Puyallup Police Department logged 148 instances of drivers fleeing from officers from July 26, 2021 to May 18, 2022.
Asked if that represents a significant increase, Chief Scott Engle wrote in an email, “I could 1,000,000% say this is completely absolutely emphatically totally unusual.” …
Steve Strachan, the executive director of the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs, said these are common stories he’s hearing from his members across the state.
“It used to be sort of unusual and notable to see someone flee or to see someone simply choose not to stop on a traffic stop. Now it’s becoming incredibly common,” Strachan said.
Strachan and others in law enforcement connect the increase in failures-to-yield to passage last year of House Bill 1054, a sweeping police tactics law that, among other things, barred high-speed pursuits except in very limited circumstances. The law was part of a package of police reforms majority Democrats passed in response to the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis and other high-profile police killings — reforms aimed at addressing racial disproportionality in policing.
The more logical way to address racial disproportionality in policing is for racial minorities to stop breaking the law so much

This is good and a return to our Anglo-Saxon heritage.
The Anglos who founded this country NEVER intended for us to have drivers licenses, road police or any of this continental European femmyshit. There was no drivers licensing or road policing in the early 20th century.
This is the biggest and most useless racket ever and a constant annoyance. America was never supposed to be a police state like Europe or Asia. All the licensing and regulation has been a huge impediment to our growth and a constant source of humiliation and annoyance. We do not need licenses to drive automobiles and we do not need traffic laws to drive. If retards get killed because they have no situational awareness, SO BE IT. THERE ARE ENOUGH PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY ALREADY AND MANY OF THEM ARE STUPID & ANNOYING. BRING BACK DEATH AND MAYHEM.

At the risk of stating the obvious, they’re going to have to change their name.

Our society is being MADE ungovernable .
FIFY
Of course, the same law encourages hit and run accidents, not paying for current license tags, not bothering to keep a current license, or having car insurance. So once again, to pander to blacks, whites have to pay higher insurance premiums and a few more people get to die in car accidents.
Speaking as a brit here – shouldn’t you just arm the Police with faster cars than the general public?
You know, like we give our cops truncheons and occasionally even Tasers to tilt the competition to them.
Actually a related issue we do have is young kids on scooters in cities. They will grab a wallet or a watch after which they take their helmets OFF! Police have orders not to chase anyone without a helmet.
Police are on the horns of a dilemma - when they pursue perpetrators in cars, it can wind up in a high speed chase in which bystanders get maimed and killed. It seems like beginning maybe a decade ago or so the risk calculus about fleeing in a car changed, and more perpetrators were willing to risk flight. I suppose one can argue that the ability to track a fleeing car without chasing it is much better now. In 2022, it's not likely that those Duke boys would be able to get away with so much due to modern surveillance technology.
I also have to imagine that municipal insurers have taken a position against car pursuits and limited coverage for harm to third parties arising from a pursuit. This may be driving a lot of these changes and the general public wouldn't necessarily know it.
OT – Due to a lack of LA County Sheriffs and an abundance of vehicle part theft, the SoCal town I reside in hired a private security company to patrol the city from 10 pm – 6 am. Unarmed and with yellow lights always flashing, they drive up and down the residential streets.
As things get scarcer and more expensive, we'll see more of this; if there are any honest people to hire for such.
By our politically correct “anti-racist” gag orders, we must never point out that “minorities” are worse in any respect.

Lack of enforcement of traffic laws is likely to INCREASE the gap between white and black traffic violations
Most whites in the US are law abiding without constant surveillance. Blacks, once they know they are NOT supervised, they will commit MORE misdemeanors or crime
Don’t take my word, all statements would have to be verified using the scientific method, statistics, longitudinal observations.
In a sound society, people with higher propensity for crime need stricter discipline. Gang menbers precise more surveillance than Christian religious outings.
The high black arrest rate is not only because blacks are more likely to commit crimes, but also because blacks are more likely to be dumb while committing crimes.

And the best way for an elephant to get to the rooftop of Trump Tower is to sprout wings and fly, but we both know that’s not happening.
A license plate photo should enable them to track down the offender. A roof mounted camera (like the ones autonomous vehicles have) should be feasible.

I suppose we'll eventually have a database that can identify every car via unique features other than a plate, so a dashcam/other video would be the enforcement mechanism.
Which highlights the issue that better forensics and surveillance has improved policing to the point where, like fireman, more personnel have become superfluous; and the complaint of Blacks is that policing is now too good; too many of them are caught; so we have to dial it back.Replies: @EdwardM

Such lawlessness also encourage hit and run accidents because why not run. Such lawlessness encourage people to use stolen plates, to not register their car, and to not carry a drivers license or any form of ID. The worst case scenario for the driver is getting involved in an accident serious enough to render the car undrivable. Then the driver can just walk/run away from the accident.
In the long run, the risk of death and bodily injury from driving will go up along with the cost of car insurance due to the increase in the number of uninsured motorist.
If you send him a ticket or revoke his license, he can ignore you.
Because you can't chase him.
A photo of the license plate doesn't prove who was driving the car. You can't ticket the car.

“Why is it we are so concerned about hot pursuits,” asked Martina Morris with the group Next Steps Washington at a February rally at the Capitol. “Because they are dangerous. They are the number two cause of deaths during encounters with police.”
Martina Morris has a sociology degree from Chicago, teaches at the UW, and looks like a very strict man hating lesbian academic:
https://soc.washington.edu/people/martina-morris
“The prime sponsor of House Bill 1054, Democratic state Rep. Jesse Johnson, also opposed lowering the threshold for pursuits.
“I just do not believe pursuits in a 21st century policing system are needed,” Johnson said ”
Representative Johnson, the expert on 21st century science, is Vibrant:
https://housedemocrats.wa.gov/johnson/
The bill also requires that every fatal shooting by police be investigated by an Independent Investigation Team, to include “at least two non-law enforcement community representatives who have credibility with and ties to communities impacted by police use of deadly force.”
The community representatives will of course be sociology grifters like Martina Morris.
On the other hand, ending the deterrent will probably tilt the CBA back in the other direction. The woke circle of life.
They don’t get a license plate number and then send out a warrant? My guess is their tracking technology should be pretty good at this point. If red lights are run, then there’ll likely be video of the offender. This is better than high-speed chases, BTW. Just go to where the car is registered and issue the citation/arrest.
At some point we won’t even need the police to pull cars over. Just send the ticket.
loses a lot when the car is full of drugs or stolen goods that will be cleared out by the time the cops find the guy at home.

It has to be one of those autonomous driving cars we hear so much about.
We had a teenager here drive 130 mph on the interstate a few days ago. The cops finally caught him in a residential area several miles from it.
In the interest of public safety, the state of Washington should legally mandate that all white BMWs with California license plates must be preceded by a man walking down the street waving a red flag and shouting to pedestrians, “Run for your lives! A white BMW from California is coming!”
For my Southern state, I’d like there to be a town crier shouting, “Run for your lives! A ‘relocator’ is coming with a BMW-load of his politics, pathologies, and money. He’ll soon be ‘based’ out of here!”
White BMW with Cal plates means what Steve calls “Men with Gold Chains” semi-white ethnicity. So Persian would be the best first guess, but Armenian, Azeri, Georgian, Assyrian, Lebanese. They come in Christian, Muslim, Jewish, and Miscellaneous (Druze, Yazidi) varieties, but all like them their white pearlescent BMWs.

Makes sense. POTUS is a zombie, so why not his arch enemy?.
The source for the story is the Daily Star, which is not well-known for its reliability.
So are the cops going to compensate by really being d**ks to the people who do pull over. That would be in keeping with the whole anarcho-tyranny program.
Perpetuating the lie that George Floyd was murdered.
By George Floyd.
Over twenty years ago my local police department (half a continent away from Olympia) started a policy of not stopping black drivers for “minor” (however defined) traffic violations. I’m sure many departments have similar policies, kept secret, or at least low key.
If I were a cop I’d try to never deal with them at all, and I’d certainly never help them.

It has to be one of those autonomous driving cars we hear so much about.
The obvious solution is to have universal indicators on cars which will let law enforcement and other motorists know that such vehicles are being driven by People Whose Lives Matter. Then everyone (including cops) can pull over to the side, get out of their cars, and kneel by the side of the road until the Person of Privilege has passed.
If indicators are too troublesome to implement, we can just supply them with Rolls & Bentleys, as part of reparations. Can everyone recognize those well enough? I think they have lighted logos now anyway, the better to cater to their new style of clientèle.

Huh? Every one of the drivers who fleed place was a black guy.
Yes, number 62…out of who knows how many different nasty propensities being unleashed. And, I doubt that the berserk driver only disinhibited nastiness number 62. Probably he was holding 14, 33, and 58 in check but now let them have at it. Also, I think there is a synergistic effect among multiple nastinesses. There is a synergistic effect, a momentum effect, among positive behaviors, and I think it also works that way for nasty behaviors. Finally, through what psychologists call “mirroring,” a lot of decent people will become less decent.
The Floyd effect elected Biden, and now The U.S. is at war with Russia, and if the world blows-up in a nuclear ash pile, that will be Floyd Effect Number Last-one.
It isn’t George Floyd’s precedent, it’s just a natural reaction. And we’re going to see a lot more of it.
Remember GK Chesterton’s dictum that when you get rid of the big laws (i.e. the actual principles of good governance) you don’t get freedom, you get the small laws. Well, our ruling class has been neglecting the principles of good governance for a long time now, and all the while jamming more and more “small laws” down our throats with the glee of the petty tyrants that they are. Comply with this, comply with that, wear a mask, get your shot, eat the bugs, respect my pronouns, so on and so forth. People only have a finite reserve of patience. When you start demanding ridiculous things of them, they take it out on you in other ways. Authority loses its legitimacy when it is misused.
It starts small. If you’re going to demand that I wear a mask in the store, don’t be surprised if I “forget” to scan a few items at the self-checkout. If you aren’t going to supply me with formula to feed my baby, I’m just going to walk out with a cartload of groceries and mug for the camera while I’m doing it. Go ahead, I dare you say something about it.
And now we have the sick spectacle of children mindlessly slaughtered inside a school and the police doing nothing to protect them, but instead tackling and tasing the desperate parents who were attempting to save their children’s lives. That is the last straw. Anybody who “submits” to this kind of law enforcement is a frickin’ douchebag.

Wouldn’t the cop or his drive recorder be able to get the plate number in 99 percent of cases? The driver could be relatively easily ticketed by mail and a separate warrant for fleeing a cop issued.
I suspect that for stolen cars behavior hasn’t changed — the delta in the statistics are formerly law-abiding drivers.
As a white person, I can’t imagine bothering to flee a cop. Odds are the outcome will be much worse. I wonder if these new scofflaws are mainly formerly law abiding blacks who have been brainwashed into thinking that there is a non-trivial chance of their being killed by the cop? I guess you could get that idea from the mainstream media, especially if you’re not that smart and don’t notice that long-numbers and statistics are missing from media reports. Add in a tendency for short time preference, impulsivity, lack of future orientation, high delay discounting, — all things associated with blacks ….

You’re a f—-ing genius.
In your world without traffic laws, will drivers go to jail when they run over kids playing in their front yards, or is that too much police state for you, too?
In my county just last week there was a driver going well over the speed limit who ran a red light, collided with another truck, and then both vehicles crossed the median and collided with seven other vehicles traveling in the opposite direction. Fortunately only the idiot who ran the red light was killed.
In your world should we have no police to arrest such a woman if she manages to run a few red lights without hitting anyone?

11,000 more murders in 2020 & 2021 combined than there would have been if murder rates had remained at 2019 levels.
That’s 20,000 more people dead in the last two years thanks to St. George the Prophet of Floyd (Peace and Fentanyl Be Upon Him).
That’s not even counting all the additional drug overdose deaths we have thanks to Democrats refusing to secure the border. Five times more people die of overdoses than are murdered each year - 108,000 in 2021 alone. Probably at least a third of those would not happen if the border were secured. And that number doesn’t even count all of the people who die of chronic illnesses caused by illicit drug use.Replies: @HammerJack
So, call the delta 50,000? But then, as mentioned upthread, we could even get WW3 out of the Floyd deal. Now imagine posing this question to a typical ditty amateur woke white chick: given Floyd’s fate, are a few billion deaths justified? I’m betting she’ll say absolutely yes. Unless maybe they’re Africans.

In California, in a democrat effort to reduce negro incarceration due to shoplifting, if your heist adds up to less than $950, the crime is only a ticket for the perp. So, gangs of acquisitive negroes have been regularly converging on assorted California stores and helping themselves.
The event in the link below took place the other day at an upscale mall in Cerritos. Note after the breezy store heist, they wander back into the mall! That mall has been around for decades. Under all the economic strain, it will not last if this keeps up.

No police officer is legally obligated to "save" anyone from a mass shooter. That’s already been settled in the courts.
I really thought the Rodney King riots would have made this very clear. If one was too dense to get it, the antifa riots were yet another of many examples of cops considering, and deferring to the future of their own wife and kids, as opposed to citizens in duress due to maniacs with guns.
I could be wrong, as I don’t know the area, but the student body of that school appears to be a lot of poor Mexicans. The mass shooter's parents and grandmother were poor, ignorant Latino trash.
Again, if I were a white, Asian, or black police officer, I’m not going to be wading into that sad ethnic morass when the stakes are clearly my ass, if I have any say in it. It could also go beyond simple tribalism. It could be the fact that they’re all poor. A lot of middle-class cops of any ethnicity are not going to feel a passionate need to wade into that shitshow, especially when they know the perp is hunkered down and not on the move.
Same equation works for the Rodney King riots. Most cops said amongst themselves, "I’m not going to be the cop killed in some South Central alley by some ignorant, pointless Jasper during the stupid Rodney King riots. I’m going home to my wife and kids tonight."
It’s tribe, race, and class that generally determines who’s going to be a hero for whom.
But get it in your head: a police officer is under NO legal obligation to save you in your dire time if need.
Note how this situation brings us back to why semi-automatic weapons might rationally be considered "necessary."
Maybe because when major shit starts flying, and a stupid mob is at your the door of your house or business, the police are under NO legal obligation to do anything to save you, or even help you.
That will be up to you.

The Floyd effect is a result of the lockdowns
Without the lockdowns we don’t have 900 protests and 500 riots across America…..The death of Floyd would have resulted in a single riot in Minneapolis , just like the Death of Gentle Giant Michael Brown resulted in a single riot in Ferguson. Without the lockdowns the Ferguson effect would have been observed in Minneapolis.
Shutting the schools, churches, and small businesses while banning all social activities (except BLM protests), resulted in massive social unrest, isolation and economic destruction. The Floyd effect is a direct result of the Clampdown.
But, at least in my anecdotal experience, young blacks generally did not observe the lockdown restrictions to begin with. The 'hood remained unchanged. The people who were frustrated by the lockdowns and who sublimated their anger at being isolated into political activity were probably the white gentrifiers and underemployed white suburban college educated.
Steve recognized a pattern with the 2020 riots which rings true - a first night ensues with mainly local blacks looting and committing arson. By the second night, the organizational structure made up of professional rioters and serious hobbyists descends upon the scene. The second wave is when the neerdowell whites populated the riots. This happened before 2020, but in the summer of 2020 the riots seemed to attract many more of the white gentrifier/underemployed college types than previous riots. The lockdowns and frustration that they caused are no doubt the reason for the ready availability of excess "riot labor."

The issue is not catching the fleeing driver. The issue is when the fleeing driver loses control, runs a stop sign, runs a red light, goes the wrong way on a road and hits another car, pedestrian, or bicyclist. Then everyone asks why people had to die because some one rolled through a stop sign that cause the chase to begin.

This is just another chapter in state endorsed race denial.
Race Must Not Exist. The prisons have too many Blacks for liberal sensibilities so our genius politicians have come up with a solution: let some of them go.
Don’t drive a small car or motorcycle in an area where there is a lot of enhanced diversity. The state will shrug if you are hit by an uninsured driver and end up with all kinds of medical bills. Most people figure that out though when they get passed by a lime green charger with gold rims going 120.
Who thinks that the license tag is legit, that the owner is driving the car, that the driver has a valid drivers license, that there is insurance on the car.
Such lawlessness also encourage hit and run accidents because why not run. Such lawlessness encourage people to use stolen plates, to not register their car, and to not carry a drivers license or any form of ID. The worst case scenario for the driver is getting involved in an accident serious enough to render the car undrivable. Then the driver can just walk/run away from the accident.
In the long run, the risk of death and bodily injury from driving will go up along with the cost of car insurance due to the increase in the number of uninsured motorist.

Those kinds of performance vehicles are generally not practical for 99% of what police do. IIRC, the Chester PA Police Department which patrols a section of 1-95 just South of Philadelphia proper used to have souped-up Mustangs for use in speed patrols.
Police are on the horns of a dilemma – when they pursue perpetrators in cars, it can wind up in a high speed chase in which bystanders get maimed and killed. It seems like beginning maybe a decade ago or so the risk calculus about fleeing in a car changed, and more perpetrators were willing to risk flight. I suppose one can argue that the ability to track a fleeing car without chasing it is much better now. In 2022, it’s not likely that those Duke boys would be able to get away with so much due to modern surveillance technology.
I also have to imagine that municipal insurers have taken a position against car pursuits and limited coverage for harm to third parties arising from a pursuit. This may be driving a lot of these changes and the general public wouldn’t necessarily know it.
I have all three movies. The car sounds are great. My own car is a 2001 modified Mustang Cobra with Magnaflow exhaust. AT three plus RPM it makes a very aggressive mellow sound. I heard that California has a law that fines drivers with loud exhausts.

Without the lockdowns we don’t have 900 protests and 500 riots across America.....The death of Floyd would have resulted in a single riot in Minneapolis , just like the Death of Gentle Giant Michael Brown resulted in a single riot in Ferguson. Without the lockdowns the Ferguson effect would have been observed in Minneapolis.

There was definitely pent-up anger and aggression caused by the lockdowns that was released all at once for Floydmas.
But, at least in my anecdotal experience, young blacks generally did not observe the lockdown restrictions to begin with. The ‘hood remained unchanged. The people who were frustrated by the lockdowns and who sublimated their anger at being isolated into political activity were probably the white gentrifiers and underemployed white suburban college educated.
Steve recognized a pattern with the 2020 riots which rings true – a first night ensues with mainly local blacks looting and committing arson. By the second night, the organizational structure made up of professional rioters and serious hobbyists descends upon the scene. The second wave is when the neerdowell whites populated the riots. This happened before 2020, but in the summer of 2020 the riots seemed to attract many more of the white gentrifier/underemployed college types than previous riots. The lockdowns and frustration that they caused are no doubt the reason for the ready availability of excess “riot labor.”

I don’t care about your anecdotes.
We have got to become a country of masculine, aggressive men and small, quiet women. Strong, leading men who don’t give a shit about serial killers, traffic accidents or any of these satistically irrelevant, feminine perspectives that continue to weigh our society down.
It is not worth the hassle, inconvenience, humiliation, tax money, and rage, to hold our young men back even further, for the alleged “protection” of a demographic cohort, liberally defined as age 0-17, that is fast shrinking to less than 20% of the US population, and majority nonwhite. Our men, especially the real men, have been absolutely crushed and devastatated by the nanny state regulations. Entire lives have been put on the backburner and lost due to these femmyshit traffic laws, leading to broken families, extreme poverty, and collateral social casualties.
There are no children. Stop holding back the majority of adult males who want to be masculine, in the name of the miniscule minority that are white children or serial killer victims. You want to destroy our men in the name of a handful of corpses. You must be submerged. I will vote Democrat and donate all of my spare cash to BLM if it will render your kind inert.
When America is over 50% children, as third world societies are, then you can come up here talking about protecting kids. But if you want to be protecting kids you better be making sure that those kids are being produced on time, god dwmnit. Right now you’re not even able to protect kids from women’s anti-natalist behavior. This is not a traditional society so keep your proselytizing paternalistic BS to yourself, corky. Comprende?
Technology, like ONSTAR will enable police to stop a fleeing vehicle but then what? The hoodrats bail out and run. The problem is the negro race is so sketchy police stops soon morph into something far more serious than a traffic infraction. The underclass negro motorist who is lawfully in possession of the car he is driving and has the paper work to prove it is pretty rare. Even if the negro is the owner that’s just part one of the checklist the police have to go through. Is the insurance and registration current? Is the car on the boot list for unpaid parking violations? Is the drivers license current and valid. Any warrants for the driver or other occupants in the vehicle. Any drugs or stolen property in the vehicle. Negroes are so damn sketchy few can make it through a traffic stop without being arrested for something so they don’t even try anymore. Better just to flee, dump the car and let the real owner deal with reclaiming it after it is towed and impounded.

Once the car plate number and description are flashed, he would be caught quickly.

I’m wondering if you don’t have the technology to snap a picture of the license plate and then have those with authentic plates arrested and booked later, with comparatively severe penalties prescribed in law for this sort of behavior. As for those with fake plates, stolen plates, or a stolen vehicle, you might attempt to identify them by looking at security camera footage from nearby establishments, if you have the manpower.

Remember GK Chesterton's dictum that when you get rid of the big laws (i.e. the actual principles of good governance) you don't get freedom, you get the small laws. Well, our ruling class has been neglecting the principles of good governance for a long time now, and all the while jamming more and more "small laws" down our throats with the glee of the petty tyrants that they are. Comply with this, comply with that, wear a mask, get your shot, eat the bugs, respect my pronouns, so on and so forth. People only have a finite reserve of patience. When you start demanding ridiculous things of them, they take it out on you in other ways. Authority loses its legitimacy when it is misused.
It starts small. If you're going to demand that I wear a mask in the store, don't be surprised if I "forget" to scan a few items at the self-checkout. If you aren't going to supply me with formula to feed my baby, I'm just going to walk out with a cartload of groceries and mug for the camera while I'm doing it. Go ahead, I dare you say something about it.
And now we have the sick spectacle of children mindlessly slaughtered inside a school and the police doing nothing to protect them, but instead tackling and tasing the desperate parents who were attempting to save their children's lives.

The West can create a ‘global famine’ excuse for an international armada of non combatant naval protection of cargo vessels staying in international waters while opening up the sea lane to Ukraine (Ukraine has roads so it can get its grain out if countries send trucks. There is $40 billion for arms but not trucks?). That sea power strategy will be a distraction from the preparations of the Ukrainian army for an offensive to push the Russians out. A long lasting absolute balanced stalemate is the least likely thing, given how different the armies are. One side or another is going to force the other back, and the longer this goes on the more likely it’s Russia that begins to get clobbered, because in six months the Ukraine will be be completely rearmed and trained to use the new weapons, courtesy of the West. It was the Ukrainian use of drones and Javelins in Donbass fighting in late 2001 that immediately preceded the invasion build up, so Russia is wary of Ukrainians with advanced arms; Russia is not going to waste time now so they can fight at a disadvantage in early 2023.
In any event, we don't have stocks of the weapons they could actually use (like artillery and lots and lots of shells). And American procurement is so glacial that we could not possibly manufacture anything new before this thing is long over. I'm afraid Ukraine is toast.
People think its been a stalemate because the battle lines haven't moved much recently. But that's because they are fighting in a Maginot Line of trenches that Ukraine built over the last 8 years. Holding these trenchworks has been a death trap for the Ukrainians, however, because of Russia's overwhelming artillery superiority. Russia has been perfectly satisfied just patiently blasting its way through. (Imagine if the French were holding Verdun with no artillery of their own).

These genes are not distributed evenly but discussing such realities is extremely taboo in our secular “science based” society.

Nobody can really afford health care in the United States.
What they can seldom afford to do is pay out of pocket for dialysis, nursing home care, assisted living, or cancer treatment. Annual revenue flowing to medical care and ‘social assistance’ amounts to $20,000 per household per year, but the actual consumption for an individual household is characterized by large and unpredictable spikes.

We already have a system where monopolies determine prices.

In some states there is only one private insurance provider.
So you can get squeezed between two monopolies that agree to stick you with endless co-pays. And that is if you are blessed to be insured.

Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas, Part One:
Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. Your normal speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side when he sees the big red light behind him … and then he will start apologizing, begging for mercy.
This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop-heart. The thing to do – when you’re running along about 100 or so and you suddenly find a red-flashing CHP-tracker on your tail – what you want to do then is accelerate. Never pull over with the first siren-howl. Mash it down and make the bastard chase you at speeds up to 120 all the way to the next exit. He will follow. But he won’t know what to make of your blinker-signal that says you’re about to turn right.
This is to let him know you’re looking for a proper place to pull off and talk … keep signaling and hope for an off-ramp, one of those uphill side-loops with a sign saying “Max Speed 25” … and the trick, at this point, is to suddenly leave the freeway and take him into the chute at no less than 100 miles an hour.
He will lock his brakes about the same time you lock yours, but it will take him a moment to realize that he’s about to make a 180-degree turn at this speed … but you will be ready for it, braced for the Gs and the fast heel-toe work, and with any luck at all you will have come to a complete stop off the road at the top of the turn and be standing beside your automobile by the time he catches up.
He will not be reasonable at first … but no matter. Let him calm down. He will want the first word. Let him have it. His brain will be in a turmoil: he may begin jabbering, or even pull his gun. Let him unwind; keep smiling. The idea is to show him that you were always in total control of yourself and your vehicle – while he lost control of everything.
It helps to have a police/press badge in your wallet when he calms down enough to ask for your license. I had one of these – but I also had a can of Budweiser in my hand. Until that moment, I was unaware that I was holding it. I had felt totally on top of the situation … but when I looked down and saw that little red/silver evidence-bomb in my hand, I knew I was fucked. ….

Ghetto schools sometimes have special programs for roughly the top 5% of white students in the school district. There rarely are middle of the pack white students (let alone “bad” white students) at those schools. I’m not disagreeing with you that median white students outperform median black students. But using those ghetto schools is basically comparing the top 5% of white students to the median black ghetto student, which is a little deceptive.
Also, the school is only 18% free lunch, so the school is about as far away from ghetto as any public high school can be these days.

Scott Ritter was pushing that theory a few weeks ago — i.e., that time is on the side of the Ukrainians. But I think he’s been proven wrong. The cavalry is not coming for Zelensky. The $40 billion turned out to be almost entirely for our own military to backfill what it’s already given to the Ukrainians (and has been already used up on the battlefield).
In any event, we don’t have stocks of the weapons they could actually use (like artillery and lots and lots of shells). And American procurement is so glacial that we could not possibly manufacture anything new before this thing is long over. I’m afraid Ukraine is toast.
People think its been a stalemate because the battle lines haven’t moved much recently. But that’s because they are fighting in a Maginot Line of trenches that Ukraine built over the last 8 years. Holding these trenchworks has been a death trap for the Ukrainians, however, because of Russia’s overwhelming artillery superiority. Russia has been perfectly satisfied just patiently blasting its way through. (Imagine if the French were holding Verdun with no artillery of their own). But once they’ve worked through this very deep trenchwork there is nothing but open fields for hundreds of miles. And the war will switch from WWI to WWII real fast.

World war two, or rather the German tank drives in the earlier stages of it, are always re the model, but 'neck or nought' to the nth degree was a criminal risk that happened to pay off for the Germans in France alone, rather than any great formula for a repeatable blitz. Indeed the Russian procedure after the withdrawal from around Kiev seems to have gone to the opposite extreme by deliberately violating the principle to seize and retain the initiative by following up successes; they are moving so slow I think it is deliberate, and wonder whether the snail speed advance is a deliberate ploy to get the Ukrainians to stand and fight while the casualties mount from Russian artillery fire. Russia’s plan could be to use its fatalism against Ukraine . Zelensky agreed to mass surrender with Azov, he wants to be reelected above all. Russia will not be able to use its bite and hold like a bulldog ploy forever. When the ground hardens late this year the Ukrainians will be trained and superbly equipped for all arms integrated Western style maneuver warfare. They are already trying a spoiling attack in the South and will gain invaluable experience. Over the next several months the quality of Ukraine's forces will inexorably rise relative to Russia's.

I’m not convinced this is true and why should we assume that Russia has unlimited stock of artillery shells? They weren’t able to provide enough rifles for their initial wave of conscripts.
The latest report is that Russia is running out of battlefield commanders.
The war could go either way. If Putin dies they will end the war.
We aren’t even to the lowest point of the Russian economic collapse. They are still running on imports.
Once the magic American and German machines break down their inflation will get even worse.
Putin didn’t bother looking at import/export data before starting this war. Just as he didn’t bother reading about NLAWs. He didn’t even have a backup plan for the credit cards. His plan was to take Kiev and then negotiate away any sanctions.
But once they’ve worked through this very deep trenchwork there is nothing but open fields for hundreds of miles. And the war will switch from WWI to WWII real fast.
So they level these towns in the name of liberation and then what? Send in troops to keep them?
That would favor Ukraine. The Russian troops are demoralized and in a foreign country that hates them. Ukrainians have the drone advantage which favors troop combat.
Even if Putin were sick, Western propaganda is just plain wrong in assuming that he is the only one in Russia who felt the war was necessary or wants to prosecute it to victory. They would never report this in the media but Putin is actually considered the moderate inside Russia and he is being criticized for not going all in by sending more troops to get the job done faster.

You enter the doors and they set the price. It isn't like buying a hamburger where you can go up the street. This is why the free market continues to fail when it comes to health care. The prices are set by monopoly providers. Where? I’ve had ordinary employer’s insurance and two-digit co-pays
Alaska and Wyoming for starters. They only have two insurance providers on the ACA which is a duopoly.

There’s only a finite number of Ukrainian soldiers; at some point there’s no one left to fight. Just like previous wars in which Russia is involved, they have the overwhelming numbers that their adversaries don’t. When the Russians establish new battle lines, it’s very difficult to retake positions with smaller and smaller numbers of soldiers. It’s a war of attrition at this point, Russia has direct supply lines, and no one’s coming to support the Ukrainian soldiers.

It’s a bad summary thanks to a bad implied premise.
No police officer is legally obligated to “save” anyone from a mass shooter. That’s already been settled in the courts.
I really thought the Rodney King riots would have made this very clear. If one was too dense to get it, the antifa riots were yet another of many examples of cops considering, and deferring to the future of their own wife and kids, as opposed to citizens in duress due to maniacs with guns.
I could be wrong, as I don’t know the area, but the student body of that school appears to be a lot of poor Mexicans. The mass shooter’s parents and grandmother were poor, ignorant Latino trash.
Again, if I were a white, Asian, or black police officer, I’m not going to be wading into that sad ethnic morass when the stakes are clearly my ass, if I have any say in it. It could also go beyond simple tribalism. It could be the fact that they’re all poor. A lot of middle-class cops of any ethnicity are not going to feel a passionate need to wade into that shitshow, especially when they know the perp is hunkered down and not on the move.
Same equation works for the Rodney King riots. Most cops said amongst themselves, “I’m not going to be the cop killed in some South Central alley by some ignorant, pointless Jasper during the stupid Rodney King riots. I’m going home to my wife and kids tonight.”
It’s tribe, race, and class that generally determines who’s going to be a hero for whom.
But get it in your head: a police officer is under NO legal obligation to save you in your dire time if need.
Note how this situation brings us back to why semi-automatic weapons might rationally be considered “necessary.”
Maybe because when major shit starts flying, and a stupid mob is at your the door of your house or business, the police are under NO legal obligation to do anything to save you, or even help you.
That will be up to you.
The story about my friend’s wife is obviously a bit more complex than one can describe in a few lines, but it included accepting surgeries which my friend in retrospect realized were a waste of money. At one point in the process my friend had to quit his job so that his wife would qualify for Medicaid after the bills went over the maximum that the insurance would cover. Anyway he did end up with vast bills and a lien on his house. He is 69 years of age and still working, or was when I last spoke to him about 3 months ago, and is earning about $22.50 per hour, so very unlikely to be able to pay off this debt.

That’s not an encouraging parallel, for either side. The Civil War was extremely costly for the victors. Washington thought it would be a replay of the Mexican war: there would be a swift march on Richmond, a big victorious battle outside the city, and the U.S. would overthrow the government and do as it pleased with the defeated country. Instead it found itself in a years-long bloody meat-grinder war with huge casualties.
The Russians had a similar plan in this war, which has gone wrong in a similar way, and for similar reasons: though Ukrainians won’t like the description, this is essentially a Russian civil war.

They can only search your home if the warrant gives them permission.
A bench warrant from not appearing in court does not grant them automatic ability to enter the residence. That is a myth. In fact if you watch cop shows you will see them say “we have a warrant can we enter?” because they need permission from the owner. A judge has to approve a search warrant.
Since Blacks move around it can be difficult to find them. This is why vehicle stops are effective.
What you suggesting? Surveillance teams for basic warrants? Do you realize how much that would cost?
The warrants for searching a house apartment t garage whatever must state specifically what the police should look for and where it probably is. Not a bedroom or one of the bedrooms but bedroom on the left side of the bathroom. North east bedroom.

Their Brimstone “can be launched towards a defined target area and will then [radar] locate and attack any enemy tanks and armored vehicles it finds’ at up to seven miles away”. There is a French artillery shell that separated into two automatic tank hunting munitions. Now Ukraine is using the Nato calibers it can use all their best equipment making advancing across open country after a breakthrough virtual mechanized suicide.
Indicative of America’s rekatively unlimited financial resources is that money to pay for what the US is giving Ukraine is not coming out of the existing military budget, it is being voted in addition to the US army’s resources The Copperhead guided artillery shells are no longer made but Excalibur rounds are; they land within metres of a laser illuminated point, and a month ago was announced there are now such illuminators for even small drones. The aid for Ukraine is a gift from US taxpayers to US business. The industrial capacity is there and you can bet every defence contractor (not just in the US) is rubbing their hands.
World war two, or rather the German tank drives in the earlier stages of it, are always re the model, but ‘neck or nought’ to the nth degree was a criminal risk that happened to pay off for the Germans in France alone, rather than any great formula for a repeatable blitz. Indeed the Russian procedure after the withdrawal from around Kiev seems to have gone to the opposite extreme by deliberately violating the principle to seize and retain the initiative by following up successes; they are moving so slow I think it is deliberate, and wonder whether the snail speed advance is a deliberate ploy to get the Ukrainians to stand and fight while the casualties mount from Russian artillery fire. Russia’s plan could be to use its fatalism against Ukraine . Zelensky agreed to mass surrender with Azov, he wants to be reelected above all. Russia will not be able to use its bite and hold like a bulldog ploy forever. When the ground hardens late this year the Ukrainians will be trained and superbly equipped for all arms integrated Western style maneuver warfare. They are already trying a spoiling attack in the South and will gain invaluable experience. Over the next several months the quality of Ukraine’s forces will inexorably rise relative to Russia’s. It is not obvious that Russia can force a decision soon enough.
It's a brave man who makes any kind of prediction in this war.
The only safe bet is that a lot more poor Slavs will die, whether they identify as Russian or Ukrainian.

We can print money but we can't actually manufacture weapons fast. And we aren't going to leave ourselves unarmed by transferring all our weapons to Ukraine. It's hard to tell how high up our leadership chain believes its own propaganda. But the very highest people (Blinken, Austin, CIA director Burns, etc.), surely know Ukraine is destined to collapse. They are just doing the usual drill of "not letting a good crisis go to waste." The Ukrainians have been doing so much worse than anyone knows that the cognitive dissonance will be severe.
“I’m not a fan of the British but they really are the masters of spying.”
Up to a point. Russia has historically been pretty damn good too, but that was perhaps in the old days. Not many idealistic young Oxbridge undergrads or middle-class Jewish girls look to Russia these days. But it’s pretty certain that McCarthy was right about Soviet spies, and at least arguable that the man tasked with hunting down Soviet agents in the UK, the head of MI5, was one himself.

Only if you break down the door. And then there might be some very, very loud noises with some projectiles of a 9mm size in concert with the noises. I could be liquored up substantially at this point and my judgement could be impaired. Not to mention the loud rock music coming from my high power amp and speakers further confusing my reasonable judgement. It is dangerous to break down doors in my neighborhood.Replies: @The Anti-Gnostic
You sound like a complete loser. How about I set the foghorn off from the street at 11 a.m., when you’re still sleeping off your weed and liquor binge? Hey, public property bub.
Anyway, you get the point: loud noises nobody asked to hear are really irritating. Now you know how people feel when you drive your prolemobile with its stupid, obnoxious pipes down the street.
At least you changed you mind about invading my domicile. This shows you have a reasoning mind. A good quality to have in our highly complicated and technical world.
" loud noises nobody asked to hear are really irritating. "
Wait till 4th of July when the M80's and cherry bombs go off. The show will start in two weeks or so, non stop explosions. I don't do fireworks, too expensive but even in my neighborhood with mostly Ricans and Mexicans there sure are a lot of firecrackers. Sometimes guns going off and I'm two miles from the Jungle. Glad you can afford to live in Whitopia.

Itz not as bad as the Harleys , Those MF'ers will wake up the dead. Itz not a "prolemobile". A prole mobile would be the older (pre 2002) Chevy Camaro SS.

Must be why Asians invented everything. Academic achievement!
I doubt Ryan was compelled by law to accept a security detail.
The Washington Monthly did an article on this very issue 25 years ago, the burden of which was the propensity to consume security services had little relation to the threat to the office holder. They noted that Donna Shalala and Louis Freeh shlepped around Washington without a security detail, while the Secretary of Agriculture had a limo and goons accompanying him to cocktail parties. One think I like about Mitt Romney was the occasional story you saw about someone crossing paths with him in a retail store, doing his own shopping by his lonesome.
If I’m not mistaken, we’ve had one former President in the last 50-odd years who voluntarily shed his government-financed security detail. That one was Richard Nixon.

That’s the “cavalry are coming” narrative. But it’s just non-factual propaganda designed to create enough false hope to keep the Ukrainians in the (futile) fight.

Hopefully, this war will cause some self-reflection in our military. Our military-industrial complex is designed to produce profits for contractors and jobs for national security bureaucrats. The American way of war is to blow up tents with cruise missiles. But that’s not sustainable in a real war with a real opponent in which equipment and munitions get burned up fast.
Another point many overlook is that all these complex, relatively low volume military systems rely on lots of custom mechanical components single-sourced from the small and medium businesses the central planners are attempting to bankrupt.
The planners don't seem to have a clue that the big boys like Lockmart and Raytheon contract out to those smaller shops because they have no interest in doing that work in-house.
The main objective of their intelligence services has historically been to manipulate the U.S. into doing what they want. So I hope they aren’t too good.
In Chicago, I heard on the radio that some vehicle emissions facilities are going to be reopened after being shut down to to the WuFlu concerns.
The facilities are run by private contractors.
Whatever the rationale that existed for such facilities when the regulations were created: "You need to get the government to test your car so you can take it to a mechanic to adjust the engine until it meets our satisfaction" doesn't exist ANYMORE because cars have sensors and computers that run the engine properly.

The primary purpose of government in the West is the succoring of rent seekers.
He could afford one. He was unmarried for 99% of his adult life and sired no children. His salary in 1947 was $12,500. Per the Statistical Abstract the effective federal income tax rate on that income was 22%, so he had disposable income of $9,700 per year. The average household in 1947 owned 0.72 passenger cars and devoted 4% of its consumer spending to automobiles and auto parts. Nominal consumer expenditures per household were about $3,900 per year in 1947, with expenditures on vehicles and parts averaging $155 per year. A household with one vehicle might expect to spend $215 per year, which would have amounted to 2.2% of Mr. Rayburn’s disposable income. Annual household expenditure (on cars and parts) per factory sale (of passenger cars) amounted to $1,800 at that time (if you posit he could not or would not buy in installments).
NB, Mr. Rayburn’s pre-tax income put him in the 97th percentile of all American households in 1947.

I once saw James Comey come out of the Capital Grill on Penn Avenue with at least three aides and then get into a black Suburban. On the weekend, their security may be different since it was nothing to see three and four star generals walking around someplace like Old Town Alexandria on their time off.

Congressman had to maintain two homes back then due to not being able to live in their office and fly home every weekend on campaign money.
In Rayburn's case, he could have had a berth in a rooming house back home (Bonham, Tx, population 6,000) and a studio apartment in DC.Replies: @guest007

They still maintain two homes, as a rule, although Richard Lugar was discovered in 2012 to be using as a voting address a house he’d sold in 1977.

These days, a Republican can get themselves into trouble if they move their family to DC. Ask Josh Hawley.
Showing up at the homes where they allegedly live at 6AM doesn’t work. Because they live at various addresses of women from grandmas to baby mommas to whoever they met last night.
It is also a lot harder to hide in a car.
Just because there is a warrant doesn't mean the police can show up and search the home.
All these doofus Nice Whites imagine Blacks getting pulled over for a tail light and then getting aggravated by the racism of the White police.
They don't know how many stops lead to arrests over outstanding warrants. That is why they run. They don't want to go to jail. It isn't because they are trying to avoid a $100 traffic ticket.Replies: @Alden, @NOTA
You don’t run from the cops when you’re worried about gettin a speeding ticket. But if you’re driving a stolen car, or you have an outstanding arrest warrant, or you’ve got a bunch of drugs or stolen goods or an illegal gun in the car, well, the extra trouble you can get in for running is less than the extra trouble you can get in for those things, so….
Do what the military did in Iraq and Afghanistan. Follow the offending driver with a drone. Cops can follow from a safe distance, out of visual range from the perp. When he stops and exits the vehicle, the police move in and make an arrest.

Lots of loans and other financial products are sold under marginal pretenses. What do you say to people who worked two jobs and lived doubled up in crappy rental housing for decades to pay off their loans? FU? What about people who didn’t go to college? Why should they be taxed to pay for others’ irresponsibility?
Why don’t we pay off people’s car loans too? None of this is different from mortgage cramdowns: the houses had lost value! BFD!
Biden’s just paid off another half million student loan accounts yesterday. Where does he get the authority? Where is that money coming from?
We took fewer, cheaper vacations. We shopped less. We ate out less.
We were also offered less in financial aid, because we had been responsible enough to save and had a large college fund available.
And now we will also pay taxes to pay off other people's loans.
If anyone should take the hit for bad student loans, it is the college endowment funds.

Gerald Ford’s children attended private schools in DC and Northern Virginia. Al Gore Jr attended private schools in DC along with Harold Ford Jr. Pre-1994 most Congressional members moved their families to DC and maintain a nominal residence in their home district unless they were independently wealthy. It was the Republicans winning control ub 1994 that changed everything with many congressional reps and senators flying back home each weekend and needing to go one political/campaign event to justify using campaign funds to pay for the ticket.
These days, a Republican can get themselves into trouble if they move their family to DC. Ask Josh Hawley.
I think our military will need to get stomped for that to happen.

If you watch one of those typical LA police chases on KTLA, that is what they do. They use a helicopter to keep the offending vehicle in sight and direct the cruisers.
How about focusing on the current destruction going on now when it comes to the rule of law and law and order.
First, the topic is golf. It’s pretty hilarious how Republican lawmakers who were tripping over themselves to criticize NBA players about their financial dealings with China have yet to say anything of substance about all those PGA players participating in the Saudi Arabia-backed LIV golf event. What say you?
Second, the topic is January 6, which I am quite certain you’re paying attention to privately but dare not provoke your paying audience. You’ve already alienated more than a few with your COVID and Ukraine positions.

Yea but that was mostly under Stalin when they had a cadre of native born leftist spies (yes heavily Jewish) in the US that believed in Communism or at least maintaining the USSR as a force against the US and any potential fascist revolution. FDR was a dope about Soviet spies and probably didn’t want to know what he didn’t know.
And that was only in the US. It was Stalin that refused to believe that the Germans were going to invade until the guns fired. They depended on the US and British for information about what happened in Germany.
But it’s pretty certain that McCarthy was right about Soviet spies
Yes and a taboo that is to never be discussed in the MSM since it leads to the revealing of politically incorrect realities.
Anyways I am certain the British have a mole in the Kremlin. Not that high level however since some of the information has been wrong. But they had the invasion plan early on and were mocked for even suggesting it.
Well Russia and half the US/UK ambassadors to Moscow said Ukraine in NATO was a red line, so some sort of action was inevitable when the Minsk Protocols that Ukraine signed up to were ignored for 6 years. It wasn't exactly hard to predict.
Which commentators here mocked people for suggesting Russia might defend Donbass? I don't recall any but it may be selective memory.
Btw Russia responds to the US weapon promise. I've been wondering why they didn't interdict stuff closer to Ukraine's borders. The line's designed to carry 60% of Ukraine's exports to EU.
