Rules (Under review):

- Any post or comment advocating illegal action will be removed and the poster warned. A second infraction will result in a ban.
-
- Unironically suggesting the SKS as a usable rifle in the 21st Century when there are things like the AK and AR that cost only a bit more might result in a ban, it depends on how we feel.
-
- Discussion of hunting is acceptable but please put "CW: hunting" in post titles. Debating the ethicality of hunting is also fine, but keep it civil and don't derail other people's threads.

Anything the police buy SHOULD be paid for by taxpayers, if they're a 'Public Service' they should be paid with public money and like any other government job have any private funding be banned. If we're gonna have a police force I'd rather it not be semi privatized.
Absolutely correct. The reality is that the money they're referring to was straight-up stolen from random civilians. Any time they say something wasn't paid for by tax payers, that means it was funded entirely by civil asset forfeiture.
If it wasn't it would have to be private donations and neither should be acceptable. The cops should have exactly what elected officials deem they should have.
