Americans fail to respect the police who put their lives on the line to protect them
It would be wise to start a Story with TRUTH,
The Police Have NO Legal Duty whatsoever to Protect the Citizens,:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_v._District_of_Columbia
for the record when they were “Peace Officers” up until the early to mid 70’s the vast majority of the USA did have respect for them. Then they slowly transformed into “Law Enforcement” Officers, which is nothing more than a euphemism for the SS or Gestapo under Hitler’s Germany.
Respect must be Earned, never Granted.
You’ll notice that the police who have been most successful at building trust and respect in their communities are the ones who have been honest about their abilities.
The Detroit police chief says openly that they can only prevent a tiny fraction of crimes because criminals avoid committing crimes right in front of police. He has been outspoken in favor of people arming themselves because they are the most effective crime prevention too there is.
So America’s police officers are no different than the Gestapo? Oh, good grief!! Exaggerate much?
