I wasn’t aware there were any lickers and lappers left. Even the former LEOs here are pissed at the current crop of Billy-Club Bullies.
Wolfie this one is for you.
I am mid forties. I grew up with parents who preached respect for the law and respect for LEO.
I think that is typical for my parents generation, and for mine.
However as I grew up and experienced the “freedoms” this country offered, and compared that to my readings of Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, and many others I become disillusioned. Then I ran into the “give law enforcement the benefit of the doubt crowd”, probably from my parents generation.
The fact is that the liberties enshrined in the Constitution, and in English Common Law are not even entertained in reality. We live in a Police State. I don’t understand why voters fund municipal courts and police. i always vote no. No to new buildings. No to new computer systems. No to new cars. No. No. NO. But these bills always pass. Somebody, a whole lot of somebodies vote yes.
If a member of Law Enforcement is reading this, here is my message to you: Your institution has squandered the blind and unyielding support of the law abiding members of society. When the riots come, and the crowd pulls you out of your car and lights you on fire I will just watch you burn.
Your “profession” is a corrupt protection racket and good riddance. Have a nice day.
I’m a former LEO and I don’t approve of the current thuggery either ESPECIALLY gun grabbing and keeping concerned and patriotic citizens from protesting, paticularly when its well justified! FYI - small town cops have been carrying on like this forever. We just weren’t as connected before. Now everybody has cameras built into their phones and they can post whatever they recoreded on Youtube within minutes of taking it. Now we see this type of stuff immediatelu instead of having to wait several days to hear about it from a MSM news outlet.
