Gee, wasn’t that one put out there by those “crazy old Birchers”?
Here’s one of MY favorites: “LOOKS LIKE THE BIRCHERS WERE RIGHT!”
I wouldn’t be surprised if he is shaking his fist from inside a gated community.
That’s the ignorance of the voters Franklin and Jefferson feared.
The evidence has been usurping the Spite House for 6 years!
Ping.
“The police do what the city administration tells them to do. The administration is responsible for the abuses of peoples’ rights.”
Oh yea. The old Nuremberg defense.
Folks, we’ve seen innumerable reports right here on FR of police excesses, corruption, and outright blatant support of the Leftist regime - to say nothing of the shiny new tacticool weapons.
To deny these events occur is foolhardy at best.
It’s a police-bashing op-ed. To deny that is foolhardy at best.
And it worked so well there.
It’s the truth and you deny it. Why is that?
Bad cops deserve to get bashed.
I do not completely disagree, but the courts have not helped at all (they are supposed to), and the people that got elected have kept pushing the ball further down the field into tyranny or at the very least, a system that our founders would declare to be tyranny. And do not forget about the amendment process, which has been good in some cases and horrible in others.
Without recognizing the holes in the document from 1789 and some of the ambiguities and fuzzy language that permitted things to get to where they are, any fix made (if any is indeed made) will be temporary.
It’s not the truth, so of course I deny it. This article is an anti-cop agitprop piece, and that’s all that it is. Go scream at people having brunch, you’ll fit right in.

Take me off your ping lists, ass!
The sad fact is...the people have been screaming for a police state without even realizing it. I am a police officer...23 years in. What constitutes police work has changed dramatically over that time. With the advent of cell phones...people can sit on their ass...call to have pizza delivered to them...call and order a movie to their tv...and call the police to tell the neighbor to turn music down or shut their barking dog up. All with out getting off their ass. The guys where I work..virginia ask each other all the time “how the hell is this a police matter?” The amount of paperwork and documenting is ridiculous...
Yea, and anti immigration types, too. Oh, wait, that is a smear. There are anti-bad cop FReepers, just like there are anti-illegal immigration FReepers.
We have to see the good and the bad in all situations.
I read a commentary by Peter Hitchens in the UK lamenting the fact that a solider being attacked by crazy Islamic killers can’t use weapons to defend himself, that civilians dressed up in heavy gear have to be deployed to do that.
It makes no sense.
The same thing happened at Fort Hood some years ago with the local police SWAT called in.
In Venezuela the “Leftist Regime” felt compelled ten years or so ago in the early days of what is now a disaster for that country to send national police around to local police stations to seize tactical weapons and shotguns leaving the locals with only pistols to deal with drug dealers and criminal gangs.
The police do a lot of good and they sometimes get hurt or killed for it.
Sometimes police do evil things, I always remember the SWAT team that stood guard and arrested people outside the building where Terri Schiavo died 10 years ago when Bushes (W and Jeb) were in power.
One day a few years ago a cop came to work one Saturday morning, then drove his patrol car into a wall along a highway I usually travel that time of day. The guy was suspected of drinking by his supervisor and tested well above the legal limit. He was fired.....
There’s good and bad with police, let’s keep it all in perspective and if I am driving over the speed limit today and get pulled over, then I deserve the consequences.
“The blacks are fighting back now”
The blacks are participating in communist led activities.
Then the Party of Lincoln had better get with the program or the communists will continue to dominate the discourse.
