Psychotic white women are out there!

How come the Cops show only show people of color (or drugged up white punks) getting arrested.

Being a cop and dealing with mental illness, what a ****ty job.

Wow, the harassment the officer gets and noncompliance by the person handcuffed. What is wrong with them? What is wrong with you?

Perhaps lifeguards are too expensive. Government is silly.

New York City was only paying $16 an hour for lifeguards, which is $1 more than minimum wage. As a result, there was a "iifeguard shortage" because there weren't enough people available at that extremely low salary for living in the New York City area. Adams was criticized because amid the lifeguard shortage, he tried and failed to boost police spending by nearly $200 million.

At $16 an hour, you're probably going to live in a place that's going to cost you 3 weeks of your monthly salary for your monthly rent.

That "shortage" resulted in closed pools. We would all agree that keeping pools open to keep youths busy is a good thing. And closing pools is a bad thing, right?






Days after the 4th of July, Adams announced that lifeguard salaries were being raised to $19.46 an hour.





Now what does this have to do with Los Angeles County lifeguards? I have no idea. Los Angeles County lifeguards are just different animals.

Ok, some people (with manager-sounding titles) make six figures.

But the Los Angeles County lifeguards are part of the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Their mission goes way beyond saving people from drowning.

I think the problem is that lifeguards are looked as equivalent to the fry cook at McDonald's, 7-Eleven clerk, teacher or other jobs that people consider lowly.

But they provide an important service (even moreso in L.A. County).

This beach was staffed from 10 am to 6 pm. He was swimming at 7 pm, which is not "beating the heat.". The officers indicate they arrested him for failure to comply with their directions, such as showing ID when they were talking with him. I am sure there is truth to the lifeguard shortage and better pay would alleviate understaffing, but the tweet you posted is idiotic. That beach is logically closed after 6 pm for people's safety. It is the most dangerous beach in the county, with rip currents and shark sightings.

As a supporter of former President Trump and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, I have learned to be skeptical of the statements from authorities, especially when they do something unusual.


Besides, Janet Fash makes a good point:

I took a look at the temperatures at a few shoreline locations in NYC. I couldn't find one from Rockaway Beach, nor could I determine the exact date from the story, so I used recent data. Temperatures at 7 PM generally were a degree or two cooler than the high temperatures for the day. Temperatures didn't really start dropping until about 8 PM. So, I don't think the "he's not beating the heat argument" flies.

The Arkansas brutality is disgusting and pathetic. How many cops on a power trip does it take to subdue one dude who is already on the ground?

Hope this guy never gets elected or hired to do anything. He can apologize all he wants. He has a deep seated personality of entitlement. The officer acted perfectly while probably suppressing the desire to puch this guy.

We need more videos of proper police behavior and the piss poor behavior of those stopped by the police. Of course it only makes the news when someone that the media hates worse than cops is the target.

Fox's show COPS is still on - 33 seasons after debuting - so you are free to watch it if you want a sanitized promotional view of police work.

You are right that there could be demand for a TV show highlighting the white privilege cops have to face when they do come into contact with entitled white people like the politician scum in the referenced tweet. Building a more just society starts with calling out this sort of misconduct.

You think the news should do PR for police officers who don't break the law? The media has been covering for cops for decades. See their use of passive voice.

Just balanced reporting. They certainly do negative PR for police officers who don't break the law.
