quote Originally posted by dennis_6: Might there be a difference in German liberalism and American liberalism? If Socialism reduced police shootings, it seems the Soviet Union would have used the least ammo, I mean they went all the way to communism, so that should mean the cops didn't even need guns there. Ditto North Korea... I don't think it really has anything to do with liberalism or socialism, just as it has nothing to do with gun ownership. As rural areas have high gun ownership, yet very few hail of bullet situations. It has everything to do with culture, How the population in a region views the police, how the police view the population.

dear clueless
miami is run by facist rightwing cuban's who make most nut con's look sane
there are very very few liberals here and even less in positions of power
and the cops are also majority cuban rightwing idiots

A theory with proof, is a fact not a theory.

If the police views the population in a way that sometimes justifies firing 311 bullets at anything or anybody for whatever reason in a residential neighborhood then there's something wrong with the police.

The problem is the Police justified it .

You can't ask for proof for a theory. You can ask for proof for a fact. Yes there is supporting evidence, no you won't accept it. That would contradict with your theories.

For example, most of the votes for Obama came from metro areas, most urban areas are more supportive of things like gun control. Most metros vote democrat. That isn't hard to google That is called supporting evidence.

A article on metros leaning left...

BTW, I was born and raised in a metro, and have lived in both metros and rural areas after. Having both perspectives causes me to lean conservative. In my opinion, liberalism is caused by herd mentality, and not considering other perspectives. That is just my opinion though, and has no bearing on anything.
Though my father is liberal, and he has never accepted any perspective that opposes liberalism. Still blaming Bush for everything that happens today, down to the price of gas.
Obama can do no wrong, and its all a result of what Bush put in motion.
Maybe that is supporting evidence?

Still trying to make it a political argument when there's evidence it's entirely possible they're just power hungry individuals with an at, or below, average intelligence that know they can get away with assault and murder?
