    Default Good Policing

    Nobody ever mentions it when you do something right.

    Good work by the police.

    well when you're not like the US, where everyone's distracted with arresting people for Marijuana... you tend to do things right.

    Yes its a half a joke but hey, i bet if cops here were spending less time arresting ppl for weed, they'd arrest more people trying to commit more heinous offenses!!!!
    Do you hate Drug Cartels? Do You believe that the Drug War is basically a failure? Do you think that if we Legalized the Cannabis market, that use rates would drop, we could put age limits on cannabis, tax it, and other wise regulate it? Join The ORG Marijuana Policy Project!

    In American politics, similar to British politics, we have a choice between being shot in our left testicle or the right testicle. Both parties advocate pissing on the little guys, only in different ways and to a different little guy.

    I'm American and I agree that our homeland security and police efforts are monstrously misappropriated. Billions on airport security and during tests the FBI is still able to smuggle bombs through the security systems. But yeah, if you're smoking pot at a coffeeshop, watch out.

    That's a blatantly unfair characterization of our police work here in the U.S.A. We also spend money to have them stake out bathrooms to make sure no gay men are tapping their wingtip shoes at one another. Or as we like to call it, "Real police work."

    The media's job is to report the truth. Or to tell people what they want to hear about.

    Nope. Their main job is to shed light on things in need of criticism. A watchdog

    Germany a succesful track record in preventing terrorism? Far from it. More correct would be: Terrorism Central. For obvious reasons, the German state has been very reluctant over the past decades in it's use of force and surveillance against citizens.

    As a result, terrorist have been able to operate from and in Germany with considerable succes. Palestians, Libyans, Germans, Irish, East Germans / communists, Saudis, Turks and Kurds have used Germany as a target. Or, more frequently, as a base to operate from. And as an easy country to attack a third party.

    9-11 has raised the stakes in counter-terrorism, and Germany has become more decisive and resolute in anti-terror measures.

    Pff, we're just too clever, if we're the base, we're not the target.

    Isn't that the truth. Where I work, one up negates about ten "atta-boys".
