Paid to Behave?

We thought we had reached peak stupidity with the "leave your guns in the car" phone call. We hadn't counted on Washington DC (following a California program we had never heard of):
  • They say crime doesn't pay, but that might not be entirely true in the U.S. capital as lawmakers look for ways to discourage people from becoming repeat offenders.

    The D.C. Council voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a bill that includes a proposal to pay residents a stipend if they don't commit any crimes.

    The D.C. Council voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a bill that includes a proposal to pay residents a stipend of up to $9,000 if they don't commit any crimes for a year (file picture)

    Under the bill, city officials would identify up to 200 people a year who are considered at risk of either committing or becoming victims of violent crime.

    Those people would be directed to participate in behavioral therapy and other programs. If they fulfill those obligations and stay out of trouble, they would be paid.
How about an alternative plan - if you commit crime, you lose a portion of your welfare check. If you test positive for drugs, you lose a portion of your SSI check. If the property you occupy (and paid for by taxpayers) is used in the commission of any crime, you lose a portion of your housing allowance. How about some basic fucking responsibility for your own life?

Getting paid to act like a civilized member of society instead of a leech? We're owed millions based on that concept.

$9,000? That's a LOT of bullets, I mean lethal injections of the Lead Flu.

Hey, great to know that isolated seniors with limited vision and mobility will have a little extra money to occasionally call a cab to more safely get their prescriptions, food, and other necessities.

That stipend could make the difference between a small place to live and homelessness for some of them.

...or wasn't that the idea?

They already have this program at the JISC with juveniles. They are given a stipend to attend sessions in one of the diversion programs run by the civilians.

How about I submit the total number crimes I prevented or arrests I did not make @ 10.00 per at checkoff? That could be an easy 80-100 dollars a day.

So , the tax payer is going to have his or her taxes raised to fund this program ? How about just reverting back to what was a deterrent to crime ? If you fuck up you will be locked up. How about if you're a repeat offender you have enhanced penalties attached to your sentencing ?! This country has become bizarro world. Right is wrong , wrong is right.

If you think that was rich, you should see how they measured success in Richmond:

"In Richmond, 79 per cent of 'fellows' participating in the program have not been suspected of involvement in any gun crimes since joining the program, and 84 per cent have not been injured by gunfire, the program's executive director, DeVone Boggan, said in a report to the Council."

Apparently being paid not to commit crimes (specifically gun crimes, he doesn't say how many were suspected of other crimes despite the stipends) is not enough, they're actually paying people to not be wounded by gunfire.

Isn't this great. Some of us go to work to cobble together a subsistence living for our families, having our earnings skimmed so that they can be funneled to some scumbag because he managed to avoid being caught doing anything illegal. The bad guys do nothing and get paid for it, the politicians throw the money of decent Americans around like it's Monopoly money, and decent Americans get bent over again. Here's another solution: lock up all the bad guys and all the politicians, and LEAVE US ALONE.

Yup...
Anyone in tune with "The Spirits of The Air"
can sense the angst of the Gold Star echelon
in regard to stuff & things of late.

With our visitation of indeterminate length by DOJ
and mayor shit-ass ceding CPD policy making
authority to the #BLM lynch-mob and the ACLU,
CPD exempts are clearly worried that the administrative
weapon of "...Or else," has been snatched from their
holster and used against them.

They've been strategizing for weeks on how they can
"make" Policemen willingly put themselves in the ISR/ACLU/DOJ
jackpot to show "activity."

The whole overheated "worker vs. dog" thing on the blog
is nothing short of 5th grade, playlot dick measuring of
most-est and more-est that has no relevance to the very
real issue of keeping your job, keeping your life from being
turned upside down and surviving this madness long enough
to hopefully collect an undiminished and unfucked with pension.

We laugh @ SCC posting on the brilliant, earned every promotion
Gold Stars desperately going into "we gotta make 'em do something"
mode by resurrecting the long discredited "Gang Dispersals" that are
in direct legal conflict with the ISR and the law behind it...

They, quite obviously, think the majority of Policemen would be stupid
enough to do the damned things.

Harming Officers administratively?
Heh... Gold Stars and lesser can also
get to see everything they worked for
go "POOF!"

(Tickled by the notion of a Blue-Shirted churl
being handed the keys to a Gold Star's house
and the PIN# to their bank account)

They have no answers.

We actually hope cooler and smarter heads prevail.
We take no real joy in illustrating how bloody
internecine warfare can be when one side tries to
push the other to do those things the intitating side
wouldn't dare consider doing in the first place.

Respond.
Drop a report.
Call for the body-snachers.
Whistle for a wash down.
Interact with no one.

Show everyone nothing but your tail-lights
getting smaller and dimmer in the night.

Police like you have no friends.

They get more money by still committing crimes but just not getting caught. So DC is basically training them to be better criminals. What else is new.

By definition, there must be at least 200 Chicago cops, who are at risk of committing a crime. Handling an ordinary call puts you at risk, therefore you are eligible for this great program. Furthermore, if you've served on the street for 30 years: 30 x $9,000 = $270,000. Great fucking idea! I'll take mine in cash, please.
