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.

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.

They keep calling us “civilians”. What does that make them? Military? Paramilitary?
It’s amazing how long it has been around. I re-watch it every 3-4 years.
The low IQ ideology known as progressivism induces people to have no reverence in anything, period.
Because their paychecks and pensions are being signed by the tyrants.
Pensions and power thirst
“I have some experience with the Thin Blue Line, its best and its worst.
I can keep a level head on the subject,
I value what we used to have and wish we had it now.”
Same here. Everything changed for me when they went from Peace Officers to Kapo. I think the big change was when the patriot act was passed. Psychologically every civilian became a possible jihadi terrorist.
I told my daughter NEVER date a cop.
EVER.
WHEN you end the relationship they will always know where you are, who you are with, for the rest of your life.
In this case it’s the low IQ that have the reverence. NEVER revere somebody who can kill you and get away with it. That’s just a bad idea.
They obey those who control the paycheck and the pension.

Exactly. Leftists don’t make their own decisions. They’re always more than willing to follow orders from their “superiors” in the hierarchy. That way they escape, or try to escape responsibility for their actions. They’re soulless, without conscience.
The 1963 Milgram Experiment was the perfect example of how most people are obedient to authority, even when that authority commands them to torture other people.
“Stark authority was pitted against the subjects’ strongest moral imperatives against hurting others, and, with the subjects’ ears ringing with the screams of the victims, authority won more often than not.”

I’ve never ONCE heard of a cop stopping a crime before it happens.
Cops are ALWAYS there AFTER the crime has happened.
99% of the crimes that they stop in progress are traffic stops.
So other than straightening out a traffic violation or accident is??????
No, there is no thought or idea lower than those of progressivism.
To have no reverence for anything is to believe in nothing. The mind is empty.
You’re still missing the concept. Police, government control, governmental violence on its own citizens, should NEVER be revered. Doing so is begging for a police state. THAT’S the path of progressivism.
An unnerving book.
Most people do not know that the "civil" police in Germany were subsumed into the party security apparatus first by Goering and then Himmler, and these units "followed orders" all over the place, particularly in the East. Eventually, about everything went through the banal but murderous Reichsfuhrer-SS/Chef der Deutschen Polizei.
DHS and FEMA are two alphabets essential for doing the same thing in the USA. In a previous life I was in a vol org that - after 9-11 - became nothing more than a FedGov satrapy. I walked, because FedGov had no legitimate reason to be involved. Conformity and control, comrades.
There are more of us than them. So when the day comes to attack, aim well
“Without a doubt, being a police officer is one of the most difficult and dangerous job on the planet“
It’s not in the top ten most dangerous jobs Truckers, construction workers, loggers, fishermen, farmers, etc. not in top ten.
Oh the FBI is the same. From Hoover on they have had the boots of oppression on our necks.
They have always spied on us. Which makes it kinda hilarious when people are shocked to hear that they spied on a sitting President. It is their protocol and nature.
Follow the paycheck
