Great point
Wish..I'd a seen this 30 years ago!!
I’m gonna help you out
I’ve been here 15 years and survived very serious acrimony over and over
Even my enemies here will cede I have some credibility even if they think I’m a redneck Johnny Rebel type
I have noticed Jack Boot Thug Bootlickers here since day one
We used to call them JBTLs
Today is no different ....cop love is what it is as is deep resentment of urban criminal no dad at home minority blight
And I share the latter bigtime
But too many of today’s cops are just effed up
Militarized
Seal team Six egos and wannabes
MRAPS for free
Black ops gear and fancy web gear etc
But scared...like Columbine or shooting kids
Any threat it’s instant reaction and kill shot....like its A Shau valley
When I was a boy deputies were braver and carried wheelguns and BDLs and Winchester 97 pumps and wore khaki and slouch hats
And drove big Mopar
I’ve had my conflict with em....I like about a third of em
Some of them id like to that badge off and beat their asses
“Any threat its instant reaction and kill shot....like its A Shau valley”
I first became aware of this problem back in the ‘70s. LAPD saw some guy walking down the street who they thought looked suspicious. They pulled over and ordered him to stop walking so that they could question him. He ignored them and kept walking.
The situation quickly escalated and the ‘suspect’ ended up shot. The reason he didn’t stop? He was deaf and had no idea the police were ordering him to stop.
