So much for "never forget" if Mamdani is in the lead, Mamdani saying the U.S. is "complicit" with Israel sounds a lot like bin Laden's letter to America saying our support for Israel was "one of the greatest crimes."

Look at all the churches burning in Europe. The invasion of incompatible societies is startling. No one is verified. To few are refugees who assimilate. Look at Christians being slaughtered in Africa. USA media is very quiet on this... What are we setting ourselves up for!?!?

The stat on native born vs foreign born was extremely interesting. Haven't heard that but folks should pay close attention to it.

Any dispatcher with a brain in their head will send the cops first and then send the social worker once the scene is declared safe by the cops, 100% of the time.

Having been a police officer and who solely enjoyed dealing with people taking calls on the street with calls that come out of the radio, I can GUARANTEE you that you DO NOT WANT DISPATCHERS deciding A DAMN THING. Many dispatchers are average, which is fine. Some dispatchers are amazing (and any cop knows those ones and their name by heart). And MANY MANY MANY OF THEM (50%+ I would guess) are dumber than a box of rocks. Like horrible horrible horrible dumb as hell. You DO NOT want a dispatcher to make any decisions other than asking "what and where is your emergency?" (and that sometimes is asking too much with some freaking people who call themselves dispatchers lol).

Adding extra steps to a 911 call seems really really stupid. Prime evidence he's never had a job
