You're wrong gramps, cops should be paragons of society. They shouldn't be thugs in uniform and the hiring process should vet out those with authoritarian and violent tendencies. You wouldn't hire an ex convict to be a cop for example. It shouldn't be a surprise that you can't be a cop unless you have an impeccable background to anyone. The fact that there's so many thugs and people with obvious anger issues going around policing others is an absolute mockery of how our society deals with putting people in those positions. Not only that but they should absolutely be held to a higher standard should they commit crimes while performing their duties. Same for politicians but instead the opposite is the truth. We don't hold them to account when they screw up and the system instead tries to shield them. The whole system from the top down needs re-evaluation.

People are a problem. Many are entitled, disrespectful and self-absorbed. .

You're doing great. It'll will surely get you nowhere.

Yes, please continue to prove your biased ignorance by cherry picking instance that support your assertions while continuing to ignore the millions of positive interactions that happen every year.

You're doing great. It'll will surely get you nowhere.

1. I'm not wrong. It's my opinion.
2. Only a small percentage of LEOs are bad.
3. They do vet LEO's during the hiring process. The problem is, it's not policy to reevaluate them.
4. LEO's should be held to a higher standard with regards to the law. Nothing else.
5. You should try speaking to a few officers some time. It might help with your clearly skewed perspective.

There could be a billion-trillion-gazillion-quintillion positive interactions, but as long as the negative interactions are as common as they are, the positives mean fuck all.

Just because Gramps thinks the earth is flat doesn’t mean he’s wrong. It’s just his opinion...

1. Your opinion can be incorrect, like the one you currently believe.
2. Yeah there seems to be more than a small percentage when you look at the riot police vs protesters. Too many instances of police pepper spraying innocent bystanders, peaceful protesters, shooting them point blank with rubber bullets etc... You can't have large scale abhorrent behavior while still stating with a straight face that it's a small problem.
3. The vetting process itself needs to be refined, it's obviously not what it should be. I knew a sheriff in training in the US recently, I had to remove him from my friends list because of his racist views, if he's the next generation of law enforcement he obviously wasn't vetted properly and I suspect many aren't.
4. Yeah... that's what I said.
5. Oh I should try speaking to more officers? You do realize I work with law enforcement right? I work with lawyers, judges, police officers every day and honestly, the police in my area are generally good people. There are a few however that I've crossed paths with that were less than friendly, people with obvious anger problems. The worst offenders in my experience however are jail guards. Again, a lot of them are really good people but many times I've heard comments from them that really make me raise an eyebrow and make me think they really should be in a different line of work. Of course Canadian guidelines vs american ones seem to be very different from the limited interactions I've had with american law enforcement.

At the end of the day, you seem to live in a bubble of rhetorics. It's obvious there's a problem hence the protests.

Wall of moronic words^^^... Pathetic...

1. You are wrong
2. A cop is fucking your ex-wife right now.
3. Dumb ppl like you don't realize how dumb they are.
4. You choose to live in the dong of America.
5. You suck at Quake and life...

Amazing. Since the BLM protests we've been able to out two racists among ourselves. Who knows, maybe gramps will end up following Whiskey.

................ I'm thinking between you and Whiskey, he's probably the least racist of the two.

........... Ban this idiot.

You’re listed here as a Moderator Eraser yet continue to slander. Tender your evidence I say!
In the past your insults would have you banned!

Know your comments are beyond distasteful as are comments from one or two others here.

Captain Mazda, your unfounded racist neo-Nazi insults remain reprehensible.



No need to ban I just won’t add to the forum as it crumbles under the weight of malicious personal attacks.

Moderators you would or should see that some posters who shield behind the anonymity of this forum, are casting malicious slurs and are damaging the forum integrity. It was once a place for open honest discussion, sadly no longer…….

there's a good chance you wouldn't have made the same statements if these were primarily white people protesting

there's an excellent chance you're not a mind-reader and couldn't possibly know one way or the other

and while we're on the subject of white people, nothing says "holier than thou" quite like white people putting thoughts into other white people's heads and judging them for those thoughts for the sake of a few social advantage points

YourGrandpa, though, he's still way up shit creek without a paddle.

I also came to the conclusion that I am a psychic mind-reader and, god damn boy, get your mind out of the gutter.

but your mum is just so hot i can't help it

One of the explicit design goals of 5th edition D&D is to depict humanity in all its beautiful diversity by depicting characters who represent an array of ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, and beliefs. We want everyone to feel at home around the game table and to see positive reflections of themselves within our products. “Human” in D&D means everyone, not just fantasy versions of northern Europeans, and the D&D community is now more diverse than it’s ever been.

Throughout the 50-year history of D&D, some of the peoples in the game—orcs and drow being two of the prime examples—have been characterized as monstrous and evil, using descriptions that are painfully reminiscent of how real-world ethnic groups have been and continue to be denigrated. That’s just not right, and it’s not something we believe in.

We present orcs and drow in a new light in two of our most recent books, Eberron: Rising from the Last War and Explorer's Guide to Wildemount. In those books, orcs and drow are just as morally and culturally complex as other peoples
