The police took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of he United States. Since we the people can’t violate the Constitution, then what was the point of this oath? I don’t think the Constitution has any exceptions for pandemics.

Do you all not see how well the fear of arrest works to keep Americans in line? We need to get rid of that fear. The most simple of them is to get the police to honor their oath. Seriously, what would have happened if nobody went and arrested that salon owner? These petty tyrants have no teeth to their orders if it were not for the police threatening arrest.

So I assume that President Trump’s support of the police is something you heartily disagree with.

Did you read the transcript or listen to the talk he gave not along ago about supporting law enforcement along with policies for oversight?

Which “petty tyrants” are you talking about where cops are defying the Constitution and your constitutional rights?

Which cop incidents are you talking about?

What is your sense of proportion on the overall numbers of bad cops and constitutional defiance that warrant stripping more immunity from police action.

Where do you draw the line?

Surgeons? US Armed Forces?

Maybe first sign a waiver before cops will dare respond against a burning riot raging on your street, at your church?
