After seeing a politized FBI, a corrupt DOJ and how the police in Canada are handling the truckers protest the question is: Are you still pro-police?

Personally as a wacky libertarian I have always been wary of the cops, their powers and scope for abuse etc. but I know not everyone here shared these views however I sense this could be changing...

I’ve never been pro-force. I understand the police as a necessary evil, but the job is inherently bad, and the people who want that kind of job shouldn’t be trusted.

I support the police but it's hard when you see images like these from Canada. I would have quit my job rather than participate it that crackdown. Makes them look like NAZI Storm Troopers.

The only function of police is to protect criminals from the population.

There is a big difference between a Good Cop who does his job properly and the "Bully With A Badge" that we all loathe.
Let's not pretend they are all the same. That's the Leftist's way.

True - police are losing the benefit of the doubt.

Dragging parents out of school board meetings during the 2 minute speech opportunities is another fine example.

Personally. I think the Ottawa police chief should get a friendly knock on his door from his neighbor. And then the question: what are you doing?

Remember obama wanted to federalilize the police?

Talk about scary. They would be unionized and wouldn’t give a damn about our rights. If you had thugs like obama, biden, Trudeau in charge, it would be horrible. May as well burn the constititution.

The police are not your friend. Not saying they are the enemy, as they can be useful at times. But they are never your friend.

It all depends on who the victims are.

Just wait till the next riots over a black guy killed by a white cop and suddenly everyone will be pro-cop again. Just like the "anti-cop anarchists" support every police action against people they don't like, no matter how atrocious it is.

I lost all faith in police departments after Waco. There has been nothing but one example of cops violating the people’s rights just so they can keep their jobs or because they really are jackboots.

That said, we have seen good cops quit or refuse orders. Not all cops are bad, and many are good cops. Many Sheriff’s have sided with the people and still do.

We simply cannot assume a uniformed officer is going to follow the law.

All positions of authority in the west will follow orders from the state more than not

That’s a fact

Court OKs Barring High IQs for Cops

What kind of people do you think we have as cops?

Anyone watch the video of the NC parent calmly giving his school board a verbal beatdown?

Watch as his time is down to about a minute and as he gains momentum 2 very fat police officers walk in. Total intimidating move. I was surprised they could waddle in.
