there is a place south of Ithaca called "La Tourelle hotel and Spa, its expensive, but very nice, quiet, relaxing place to stay. we stayed there 20 years ago. we got the "couples message" it was very nice, the girls are very professional, but, like i said, pricy

“What the report finds is both a deep appreciation for the current officers and a compelling case that we need an even better, transformed system. We need our public safety officers to better represent the diversity of the community, be better equipped to de-escalate conflict, and be better able to connect people in crisis with social services.”

This is from the article. I disagree with this entire statement.

First, seriously, fuck diversity and those that scream for it. I have no diversity in my life in regards to people and I have done just fine.

My friends, they are White, all of my family is White. All of my family is straight. All of my neighbors are White. This is not a bad thing. It is okay.

All of my friends are Right of center, I have no friends on the left side of thinking. All of my friends and family are gun owners.

All of my friends and close family have the same ideals in life.

Still from the article, fuck deescalation theory. How about this? Those that cannot follow the rules and laws of society need to be taken out of society, We need people to act normal, stop acting the fool and stop acting like you belong in the freaken zoo. What is happening in the Country today is not the fault of the Police, most of the issues are due to the people. Maybe, we need a bit of reform in the communities.

Stop acting like everything is a freaken crisis. Not all people need social services, some people just need a serious ass whoopin!

Why? What does that get me? No one can answer this question.

When we went through diversity training for work, the woman asked all in the class about the diversity is their lives.

What I typed here is near exact what I told her. She suggested that I try to branch out and get diversity in my life. I asked her why and all she said was because.

Some diversity of opinion is good. It is beneficial to be exposed to new ideas and different perspectives. Living in an echo chamber can lead to a myopic view of the world.

12 different colors of ultra left liberal is not diverse.

Ithaca is a sick land full of foolish college students who are insane lunatics.

I have grown over the years, pretty steadfast in my core, but I will always listen to others.

And there you have it - just because. That's about as honest answer as you will ever get. It can't be justified logically so it has to be rammed down our throats.

To be honest I think the actual reasoning behind all this has nothing to do with "progressive" or "woke" but more to do with money.

The City and Department have not been able to agree on a contract for a few years now.. here we are 2021 and here is an article about the issue back in 2018 and nothing has been settled even now in 2021

City, Ithaca police union at odds in contract negotiations

There has been litigation from both parties over the past four years.

As for the contracts....

Many of these departments and the officers have a serious sense of entitlement. I see this each and every time we negotiate our contracts.

I actually find it to be quite funny what many think they deserve,
