“I don’t understand why more on here don’t see what a huge problem it is and will continue to be if police officers aren’t forced to honor their oath”
++++++++++++++++++++++
Don’t mistake our silence for compliance or that we come from any kind of place that doesn’t see what a HUGE problem it is. I just don’t think we see any way around it right now. I see this as the biggest hoax perpetuated on the world.
I think we also realize that there are huge injustices being played out all over our country and others. Kyle Rittenhouse still sits in jail for shooting in self defense.
I will say these arrests have left my head scratching as I wonder where the Oath Keepers are, where are the police officers willing to buck the system?
I live in east of San Diego and the police won’t arrest the homeless, even if they are breaking the law, because the sheriff’s dept won’t take them.
In many ways, it’s like Biff has the playbook.
CVS has signs on their doors saying masks are required by law. I’ve complained to cashiers and pharmacists that they are lying to their customers.
So, I think I can safely say, that we on here do see that it’s a huge problem. What are the solutions??

Here’s the thing. This isn’t just about this pandemic. Our police force has been changing for years. Our liberties have eroded to such a point, that we don’t even see it anymore. Too many good Americans will show some poor unsympathetic shlub, and then not care that their Constitutional rights were totally trashed.
I have seen so many video’s prepandemic, of people filming a police stop. We have every Constitutional right to do so per the 1st. amendment, freedom of the press. I would guess that half the time the police call in backup. Not for the stop, but for the guy holding a camera! There are video after video of 4/6 police trying to shine lights into the camera, ask the cameraman questions that are none of their business, but do drown out the sound, stand a foot away in an intimidating fashion so you can’t see what is happening. The sad thing is, so many on our side, don’t care that this 1st amendment right is being destroyed because they don’t like the camera guy. Or, they don’t think he is being respectful enough. Respect goes both ways, and I would not be respectful to anyone trashing our Constitution. No excuses.
Another right our side continues to ignore is when cops threaten a non criminal with failure to ID. This has been going on for years. If you have not committed a crime, you don’t have to tell a police officer who you are, where you live, your date of birth, etc. it is none of their business. Once they know who you are, they can just mail you a bogus ticket. If you don’t pay, then they can rightfully put out an arrest warrant for failure to pay ticket. See how they work this? I believe that is why the Christians were arrested was failure to ID.
Our founding fathers, were brilliant. Most of us have little experience in govt. corruption. We need to trust they knew what they were talking about, and not think it is non-important.
II have posted the mask arrests, and Christian arrests, like Q said, sometimes you have to show people. But some of us have been trying for a very long time to call attention to this issue.
Also, this is not just about arrests, but threatening to arrest someone who is not breaking any laws. That threat will almost always get someone to comply. That is why filming is so very important.
you mentioned Kyle Rittenhouse. I think a whole lot more people would be willing to help others protect their property, but for fear of going to jail for life. Basically, the police are doing little to stop them, and at the same time making sure you don’t stop them either.
Now, before anyone complains that I am ignoring the tyrannical govt. affecting these things, I am not. Why don’t the police arrest them? Or, if anyone has a better solution to stopping them, speak up. We can’t allow our police force to be used as the goon squad for these criminal govt. employees.
Police protect rioters by ensuring that nobody actually fixes the problem with threat of arrest such as Kyle.

Police arrest driver who managed to escape protesters breaking his windows, and trying to pull him out of the car.
Police arrest homeowner for using a pellet gun on a thief who was on his property trying to steal his Trump sign.
Police arrest salon owner, gym owner, barber, for simply going to work.

Police arrest homeowner for having a second party, after they warned him about the first party.

Police do nothing about rioters.

As far as I am concerned, decent people don’t allow this type of bad behavior, so where are the good cops?
you mentioned not seeing a solution, I have brought one up, but so far, nobody has even addressed it.
Currently, police have qualified immunity. In other words, if they make a mistake and get sued, the police dept. must pay restitution. Or, in other words, the taxpayer. QI was enacted to protect govt. employees from frivolous lawsuits. From what I can tell, it was enacted in 1967 the same way Roe v Wade and gay marriage, through the SC.
It needs a sever overhaul. It is not just govt. employees that should enjoy the protections of frivolous lawsuits, but all Americans. Also, QI can be waived, but from what I understand, only with a judge, or panel of judges. Who also have qualified immunity.
Just like threat of arrest makes people comply, threat of losing ones qualified immunity should work as well.
It would not take to many govt. officials, including cops, having to pay out 40 to 50k for this nonsense to stop.
