[–] worsedoughnut@lemdro.id 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) The world is a dangerous place though; there's all these armed psychos driving around, shooting and beating people! Sure, sometimes they arrest someone who deserves it, but that doesn't make me exactly feel safe knowing they're out there... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) It isn't dangerous. The world is much safer than it was even 20 years ago. You are much more likely to be attacked by someone you know than "armed psychos" that you don't know. Look at any crime statistics; they all say the same. Or if you don't like statistics, just watch Dateline or 20/20. It's usually the boyfriend/girlfriend. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago The armed psychos they were talking about aren't counted in the crime statistics, because they never get convicted of crimes. They just get put on administrative leave for a while, and then get brought back when the heat is off. Worst case scenario, they get fired, and move to another town to be an armed psycho there. And that only happens if the armed psycho union doesn't scream bloody murder about it. permalink fedilink source parent
