Why are the police we revere doing the tyrants’ bidding?
American Thinker ^ | 19 Feb, 2022 | Patricia McCarthy

Posted on 02/19/2022 5:21:54 AM PST by MtnClimber

Too many cops are choosing the side that uses and abuses them.

believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. James Madison

Without a doubt, being a police officer is one of the most difficult and dangerous job on the planet. One has to admire those who take on the job. The American left has made its contempt of our police abundantly clear for several years now. Encouraging the BLM riots, excusing the damage done, decreeing no punishment for those who did billions of dollars in property destruction over the summer of 2020 was their coin of the realm. Lacking common sense and any skill at predicting the consequences of idiotic policies, they have doubled down on stupid as cities like NY, Chicago, DC, and LA rack up homicides committed by career criminals repeatedly let loose on an unsuspecting public.

On a daily basis innocent victims are attacked, injured or killed by violent perpetrators who have been released by cavalier lefty judges who have become self-appointed social justice warriors.

SNIP

So how do we explain the fact that in countries around the world, Australia, UK, US, France, Belgium, Austria, and Canada, the police, those who were not fired for refusing the vaccine, have taken the opportunity to act like tyranny’s handmaidens rather than protectors of the people, their essential charge, the reason they signed up for the job? In Canada, a few have sided with the truck drivers’ cause, but the rest seem to enjoy the opportunity to roust good, law-abiding, non-violent protesters.

I am afraid the police much like the FBI are not the ones we grew up with.
***The ones we grew up with were never what you thought they were.

That’s the sort of post that gets FR in trouble. I dislike what cops have become as much as the other freepers on this thread, but calling for violence brings down the FIB on JimRob and us. It crosses the line. You should contact the mods and have your post removed.

How about the medical workers we “revere”? The “educators” we “revere”? The pols we despise, but still keep electing back into office? The bureaucrats we’ve collectively hired and overpay? The media too many of us watch?

Interesting to see it okay out in reality.
***Some kind of typo on that word ‘okay’, lost meaning of the sentence.

“Where are the jackbootlickers now? They used to be so prevalent on FR.”

In the shadows like the roaches that they are.
They will sell you and I out in a minute to their blue masters.

The lack of an edit feature on this site is one of its greatest flaws.

If you fight alongside a tyrant you are the tyrant. Uniform be damned.
***This thread is chock full of candidates for the tagline thread, but most of them are too long to fit into a tagline. Yours works, so I’ll update the page.

They’ve had a plan and acted on it for nearly 100 years now. Their brainwashing is about 3 generations in, backed by massive payoffs and selective blackmail. Oh, I left “the church” of various flavors out of due accusation as well.

IMO it came from our prosperity leading to ever weakened morals and ethics (even while Americans ever the more congratulate themselves for being “nice” and enlightened) that has left us with wholly corrupted institutions.

I think the worst part for myself is that they full well know that the source of the orders is illegal corruption. That makes them accessories to the illegal corruption if they enforce them.

Reminds me of that famous picture of the decked out cop pointing a gun at Elian Gonzales.

Um.......No. I’m tired of the bootlickers on this forum looking at evil and pronouncing it half good.

Illegal police activities should be defunded. Just saying.

If the police were cracking down on BLM or Antifa with the same tactics they are using on the Canadian truckers and if the prosecutors treated Communist protesters the way in the January 6th demonstrators have been subjected, conservatives would applaud them. Real Americans have lost control of the Federal government and the state governments in blue states. So BLM and Antifa have control of the streets, conservatives will face clubs and tear gas if they fight back, criminal activity increases, and the educational system, from pre-K to graduate school, is an instrument of propaganda for perversion and wokeism.

Sorry to be so negative, but facts are facts.

There is nothing wrong with calling for evil to be wiped out. Had the Jews or the Russians just started killing the Gestapo or the NKVD when the arrests began, the evil state would have not been able to enforce their edicts.
