God, that's ****ing awful. I can't help but notice what a dystopian surveillance state the UK is. It's like someone read 1984 and mistook it for a good blueprint for a society.
Central London is a bit different from the rest of the UK. Also likely at least some of the CCTV footage is from private networks rather than state systems.

Originally posted by SurturThe Police are never the problem, how they are used and oversight will always be the crux of the matter. Are they a tool for the politicians or do they protect and serve the people? Most of the bow street runners were fired btw.
Just to be clear: nobody was actually trying to argue in favor of disbanding the police by talking about how shitty the UK is, correct?I'm 99% sure that wasn't the intent, but I just wanna take that 99 to a 100.

Oh I agree. And how they've been used, especially in democrat run cities, has been awful.
And then the politicians sign off on these union contracts that make it hard to get rid of these little f*cks.

Originally posted by dadudemondo u think that going by the trend of the first 5+ months of a year where millions of people are on lockdown, not leaving their houses, not going to work, bars/restaurants all closed etc... Shows an honest representation of the norm?
Use trending and the first year compared to current year.On the trend, since we've already completed 5 months and 4 days, we are already behind for all races in all categories from last year to this year - except, perhaps, "other."
If you consider the start date of 2017 (Trump took office in Jan), all categories are down except for black and unknown with this year, on black, shaping up to be a sharp drop from 2017 and the year prior.
Overall, deaths are way down since 2017 even if you stop in 2019.
And it should be obvious why murder-by-cop numbers are trending down: crime is trending down, big time, since Trump took office.
I made some charts to represent this data and I projected the homicides by police through the end of 2020.
I included the raw data, as well.
So here are all the charts redone with 2020 projected numbers and a linear trendline.
Outside of that all of the end totals for police killings and brutality overall are skewed by the fact that the overwhelming majority are down for whites.
It seems his policies worked really good on cracking down on police brutality against white people. For the other races they didn't seem 2 help much if at all.

Originally posted by Surturits weird because they did. If u would have read the links in ddms post like i did, then u would know that violent crime and murder rates are down, especially in the major cities where black crime rate is usually the highest.
Yeah if only those other races would stop murdering at such high rates.Sorry I said races as if it was plural, but it's not. Just 1.
"Declines were especially pronounced in the largest cities. In cities with populations over 1 million, the murder rate decreased by 8.5 percent.
Baltimore and Chicago — two major cities with relatively high murder rates which saw significant increases in 2015 and 2016 — both saw their murder rates decline, by roughly 9 percent and 14 percent, respectively."
So if their murder and violent crime rates are seeing a pronounced decline, then why are police brutality and murder numbers against them going up?

I'm so glad blacks are murdering less.
This is good.
But they still achieve #1 status despite being 13% of the population.
Weird, no?
