Is it wrong that I laughed when I saw that someone who I've seen insult virtually every minority out there was asking this question.

If it comes to it, paramedics may have to use CPR. Does that mean calling an ambulance is a form of CPR?

So, if the police didn't have the ability to meet crime with force, would they have any use?

Sure. For example, two years ago I was in a pretty bad car accident on the highway. Fortunately for me, some passerby committed the "act of violence" of calling the police so that they could come help me out. I thought they were pretty useful in that situation.

What does that have to do with this discussion? I'm talking about circumstances where the police have to use violence or force to resolve a situation. If there is a domestic dispute, and a man is beating his wife, and all the cops can do is politely ask the man to stop, then what power do they have?

I'm talking about the claim that "calling the police is an act of violence". What do your comments about domestic violence have to do with the discussion?

*sigh* Quit being pedantic. The point is that the police act as a force of violence to keep society in line. Deal with that. Not questionable word choice. You know, you don't have to concede HHBH's entire argument just by acknowledging one of his points.

I'm glad you found it almost as enjoyable as I did, :D

I'm not being pedantic. I'm saying that his "point" is completely meaningless if you think about it for half a second.

Dude, have you been to Chicago?

Posturing as gangster's maybe(though Easy E was a pretty lucrative drug dealer, keif has been on house arrest for a large portion of his adolescent life) but i don't think you can question that they are indeed some "nigga's with attitude".

I watched Cheif Keef on NBC nightline the other night. I haven't seen any rapper legitimately scare the american public like this in quite some time, hence the NWA comparison.
