Never gripe about the cops? Over the past couple decades they have gotten more and more out of hand. Not the same folks I remember as a child. As government has gotten more reckless, so has its armed enforcers. As our culture has gotten coarser and less civilized not sure how you think those who want to deal with the lowest levels of society have somehow remained genteel.
It’s-changed America.
When referring to the drug policies we shouldn’t put the cops more to blame than the polticians who promised safety in exchange for our personal liberty and we got exactly what we deserved in that faustian bargin. And blame ourselves who were asleep at the time who wanted the laws “for the children” that ended up being turned back on us like and angry snake we throught we could control.
Forgive me if I gave the impressions that I though police were to blame in this particular matter. It was the never gripe about the cops. Cops are government employees and shoul not be exempt from scrutiny or criticism any more than the rest of that lot.
