Corrections officer who helped inmate escape killed herself

I wonder why this is a big deal. Does anyone really care if they were not found? They were not a threat to society so just let them go. Too late now, I guess.

That's funny. Imagine a world where you can rob anyone, kill anyone, rape anyone, drive recklessly, if you get in a crash and kill someone it doesn't matter. The list goes on. That'd be a great place to live. I could try to pick up some extra income by getting high schoolers hooked on meth, since there would be no one to stop me from making/selling meth.

You don't hear about the 99% of police officers that do a good job, you hear about the less than 1% that do something bad. Large cities have several hundred or even thousands of police officers. A handful or dozen of them doing shady stuff is the 1%. Are 1% of doctors prescribing things they shouldn't because they get a kickback? Ya I could believe that. There's probably 1% in every profession that is doing some pretty bad things. People just get mad when they get caught breaking the law and decide to hate the police for catching them.

She wasn't a cop.

Uhh No. Try again.

That's the current world for our Oligarchs.

That's the world for our cops.

Deputy sheriff for 17 years.

That jailbreak sex is to die for!

Probably the family of the woman he murdered would care.

Well that explains a lot then doesn't it.

You mean like in New York City?

Yes. If we get rid of all 36,000 NYC cops, who are all criminals and commit crimes every day, the crime rate will plummet. Eliminate 36,000 criminals - it is a no effort way to help clean up the city.

"Every cop is a criminal, and all the sinners saints", sounds like you have Sympathy for the Devil!

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I've never understood how 2nd amendment folks are so adamant about police forces. You're the good guy protector, right?

She was 56 and he is 38. She thought he loved her. Lol. Was just using her to escape. That realization hits hard.

The data disagrees with you. When police were told to back off, crime has spiked over 100% in those states.

There’s pretty simple theories that explain crime. People commit crimes when 3 conditions exist: 1) you are facing a hardship (typically financial, but it is not always a financial hardship), 2) you don’t expect to get caught or don’t expect a severe consequence, and 3) there is a rationalization for the crime. We can’t control point 1. People face hardships and that’s the way life is. We also cannot control point 3 because people can rationalize anything no matter how psychotic of a rationalization it is. We can however control 2. If the expectation of getting caught increases (more police, stricter laws, putting items behind plexiglass shelves, etc) then crime goes down because, even with condition 1 and 3, you don’t have 2.

It really is simple stuff. There’s millions of studies that ask criminals why they did their crime. It’s almost always the same thing. “Society has held me back so I deserve to rob and steal.” Or, “because I didn’t think I’d get caught.”

Not true! Most are just looking for some bread!
