What BLM protest is asking may be impossible.
<defund the police> +
<better cops>
The straightforward economics, you won't get better cops by defunding them, they'll get worse.
In most cases, self aware, empathetic humans wouldn't want to work in what's essentially -The Violence- Industry (police, soldiering).
The protestors are also asking for more intelligence, better educated cops. You know what intelligent well educated people can do, literally anything else that pays more w/ minimal physical harms risk.
There are many good cops, Sure. But we're always going to be left with the VAST Majority of societal-dregs filling up uniformed roles because they're the demographic who are uniquely "Willing" to do the job.
Body Cams and Harsh-Accountability is as much as we can hope for.
Very good point. Why are protesters even asking to defund the police (I will take you for your word that they do)? Retribution?

Those are the popular rhetoric thrown around, there's no official list of demands except from the extremists groups.
Very well because I get my news straight from gh :)

Very good point. Why are protesters even asking to defund the police (I will take you for your word that they do)? Retribution?The sentiment I've heard a few times is that if you "go after their money" (paid leave, pensions) then it will be more effective at keeping them in line as opposed to trying to train them to not kill people for minor offenses. I've also heard outcry about "militarized police forces" which may factor into the whole defunding thing (i.e. local small town police forces equipped with HMMWVs and AR15s).

This could go Civil war.
It will be interesting to see these protests make any difference after they are over.
BLM can get Bernie as president or even Obama 3rd term.
There are no sacrificial lambs the government can offer up to qualm the out-rage which is something that's been building for 50 years. They can put trvmp's head on a spike, black people would be happy, but they wouldn't be appeased.
HOWEVER, if they put Bernie back on the Ballot, and Make sure he wins..
MAYBE, Just maybe, This is probably the most economical way to reach armistice.
For sure biden is useless, half of americans don't even know what biden looks like.
interesting that you think the thing to make blacks happy is a hella oldcommunistsocialist?... Jewish dude.... fair enough... what a time to be alive...
also again for anyone who thinks civil war is on the table... watch this video TWICE, then pray to god you are wrong... An A-10 Warthog engaging a structure in Afghanistan.

Bernie's campaigned against segregation since his Youth. Black people like him plenty.
And He's FOR REAL NOT a racist. unlike Biden, who is probably another closet racist.
As for the Warthog. They can't use that on civilians, the moment they do that, It's Civil war.
You can kill lots of black people, but you'd fracture America, and the WOLVES will come.
America doesn't have to worry about the natives. Just GIVE Russia and China a reason to LIBERATE America's black people. They'll fvkn' do it. They'll send their tankers to Africa, load up the freedom fighters, and hand them AK47s.
Not only that of course, Black people in high lvl military positions would instantly turn over classified intel, etc. And it's GG.
Americans today can barely speak english, good luck learning Russian/Chinese
Remember, america Lost Vietnam because it lost public support. Without just cause you can't fight a war. If america kills a bunch of native black people, it stands alone.
We may suck at nation building but we still rule at nation unbuilding... neither the Russians or the Chinese (currently) have any chance in hell of doing much militarily to the US for the time being, even if the military was busy wrapping up some sort of insurrection... of course baring a nuclear conflict which is in nobody's interests...
The United States has 11 large nuclear aircraft carriers... the russians (1) however technically zero because it caught on fire and is basically totaled. the chinese.... 2 active... and much less capable than American Fleet carriers...
They don't care about sea based penis enlargement.
The carrier today is what the battleship was in WW2, outdated and over the hill.
We can get a B2 anywhere in the world (from the U.S.) within 24 hours. Yes, you can park a carrier off the coast but we have bases all over the world at this point that are within range of almost any country (and we have cruise missiles!) so is it really that beneficial other than for political reasons? Not to mention have you seen the Russian anti-ship missiles or the new torpedoes they're developing?
Our enemies aren't nearly as scared of them as you think, they see them as a fragile floating multi-billion dollar coffin.
There is a lot of speculation... Since the Navy has spent so much on these things ... I'm fairly certain that classified counter measures are either deployed or coming ... most likely already deployed.
Even if you took the aircraft carriers out of the equation attack subs and other military assets could keep any force from touching American (mainland) soil.... currently.... even if other parts of the military were engaged in mopping up some internal conflict...
Regardless such a scenario has huge down sides for any potential opponents, so much so that none would opt for such a costly strategy.
If the aircraft carrier is outdated it is strange that the Chinese have been and continue to pour huge sums into trying to build carriers..
Your 'enemies' are busy telling you how to vote.
They don't care about sea based penis enlargement.
Quite possibly the best quote I've seen on GH.

Atrione where are you getting your information. Tp4 is a frequenter of military hardware forums. This is already accepted common knowledge. Carriers are useless.
Both Russian and China subs have surfaced in the middle of American military drill and exercises as demonstration that clearly they're difficult to spot.
The reason carriers are maintained and built by the US is primarily a political tax revenue for the States that build them. It's nothing but money grubbing. Its real military utility in modern warfare is 0.
I'm not even sure where to start on this.... military hardware forums... come on man..... I'm going to just move on.. because I'll sound like a ****... with any response to this I have thought of So far..
I do not know if it has occurred to you, that the American Navy probably was well aware of these subs ... but what is actually pretty slick is if you can convince the Chinese or Russians that their subs are able to penetrate your defensive perimeter undetected ... when they can not...
Consider this convincing your enemy their capabilities are great than they actually are isn't a bad idea... In WWII the US and UK went well out of their way to keep the fact the Enigma code was broken from being determined.. thus the Germans continued using it and providing continuing information..
Letting everyone know exactly what your military capabilities are is not a good idea and nobody is going to do that... so one thing we can be certain of is the carrier battle groups have defensive capabilities that are classified for obvious reasons.. much like the Russians and Chinese are trying to keep all of their capabilities from being known.
There is a lot of speculation... Since the Navy has spent so much on these things ... I'm fairly certain that classified counter measures are either deployed or coming ... most likely already deployed.You have FAR too much faith in our military and leaders.

Carriers became capital ships by default
I'm sad COPS got caught in the crossfire of this. That show was always there when you were drunk at 4am before internet days, like losing a friend.
Less advanced...

Iri is correct that massive slow military hardware is obsolete in the struggle between "major" nations, who now engage in cyberspace and economics, but aircraft carriers still have their place.
In a conflict between a major nation like the US and a much smaller and less advanced adversary, an aircraft carrier(s) parked off the coast may be appropriate for the scale and proximity to the conflict.
