Stop pretending that cops are your friend.
“Stop pretending that cops are your friend. “
My perception of the police radically changed a few weeks ago when the NJ Sheriff told the chinese virus protestors their Freedom of speech and protest no longer applied.
I no longer feel police will protect are 2nd amend either. If they are told they will lose their job or pension they will take away our guns in a heartbeat.
Cops are a hell of a lot more likely to be your ‘friend’ than some lowlife criminal... And as far as ‘out of control’ goes - - that’s almost the definition of ‘criminal’.
That said, the job of the police is to ‘bring the person’ to a place where justice can be done. It’s NOT their job to decide who lives and who dies.
Here’s what I see which is VERY typical in many areas.
1 out of shape white cop standing there.
1 mini man white cop with not one discernable muscle.
A good sized physically strong (albeit not healthy) black guy.
This is what happens when the criminals are stronger or in better shape than the cops.
So many cops don’t even try to stay in shape and their continuing education, training and fit tests requirements are negligible.
They learn a few tricks in the academy to subdue someone stronger and then they get a stick and a gun and they let that take place of keeping themselves at a physical level necessary to do their job.
So then they get legit scared when they have a resistor that they know is stronger.
They were scared to let him up because they were afraid he’d overpower them. It’s easier to use a trick they learned than to actually stay fit enough to be confident they can get him up and in the car without getting hurt themselves.
Which is wrong within itself.
But even after a couple of minutes, this even exceeds THAT.
I’m open to being corrected on my initial assessment here.
