  • Please try to re-read what I wrote. I am by no means defending issuing a clearence to Jared. I am saying the president is given this power by law, and in my opinion for a good reason.

    Therefore Trump should definitly be held accountable by voters (as in no self-aware being should vote for him), but it is not a legal issue. What he did is (and should remain) legal.

  • Presidents and politicians in general misusing their power is always an issue. That being said, there is nothing wrong with an elected representative of the people (president) overriding an unelected official who is his employee. At least presidents are accountable to the people in theory.

  • So you want CIA, NSA and the other intelligence agencies to have a full on veto power ower who can be president?

    As a reminder, its not that long since being gay/trans would disqalify you from getting clearence because "it made you vulnerable to blackmail".

  • How often do you need your seatbelt? Should you still wear it anyway? And there are situations when wearing a seatbelt can kill you where you would survive without it.

    The idea is the same with cops. A properly trained cop carying a weapon all the time would be safer overall by being able to react to violent situations while not posing a threat in non-violent ones. The issue is how incredibly undertrained most US cops are.

    And yes, if they are not sufficiently trained, they should not carry a gun period. Not in their car, not anywhere.

  • Seems to me like it would make more sense to want the cases to go simultaneously since the civil case can use any evidence and admissions from the criminal case.

    If they are tried at the same time, there is a chence that would not work because of deadlines to submit evidence.

    I have no idea what that argument is supposed to be.

  • Suprise, not all nations are the same. But hey, if the cops agree or you can find replacement cops for those that don't, then go for it.

    It is just funy to me that people have so many ideas how cops could do their jobs better, and hate on them but refuse to actually become cops and put it in practice.

  • Well, I am not from the US, so maybe my perception is wrong. Or maybe you have a selection bias for some reason, e.g. living in a safe are.

    Either way, if enough cops are ok with it then go ahead, and have them not carry firearms. No issue then.
