The really funny thing about this thread, is that just 10 years or so ago, if it had been posted, the response by the cop worshippers would have been swift and massive. There is still a very small core of diehard bootlickers that remain, but they are few and far between now. Some have even done a complete 180 on the subject, but I suspect those are ongoing personas created by certain governmental organizations.
Good point. I think 99.99% of us here are for the concept of police, but what they have become is something that is pretty un-American.
I think where we went wrong was the war on drugs.
I think their mindset is that they will enforce any law that is passed no matter if it’s legal or not. Our own police chief said that the majority of the people put those politicians in power to create those laws so it is the will of the people.
I personally have a good friend that was a cop for 17 years. Some of the stories that he tells me is downright terrifying.
We’re in a bad place in this country and it’s just a matter of time before the shooting starts. But even Iraq and Mexico have people willing to sign up to be police. Should be interesting to see what happens here.
Yes, I noticed that also. Because it is getting harder and harder to find much to defend anymore. They have now dishonored their own institutions that were once honorable and respected. We didn’t do this, they did it to themselves. They have exposed themselves as self serving cowards who do not even care about the future of their own Grandchildren let alone of those who support them. Respect is a two way street, and there is no respect being given in return, they want their cake and eat it too. Reality dictates it just doesn’t work this way.
