My sister is a LEO in Texas for 20 years now. While a usually level headed person, she, too, feels that anyone not fully supporting the government in every way is someone to watch for trouble. That includes anyone and everyone. She completely believes in the pro-government belief that anyone not fully supporting the government deserves whatever the government does to them.

She may be only 1%, 50%, or even 100% of the LEOs out there, but she and her fellow like minded LEOs number enough to be serious trouble.

That is indeed worrisome. It's always worried me that there are "it all counts toward 30" LEO employees out there but I had no idea that estimates of the number could go high enough to be serious trouble -- and most surprising -- that there's blind, pro-government, no-matter-what belief and "anyone not fully supporting the government deserves whatever the government does to them."

That could complicate matters getting LEO cooperation..

You're sister has a very distorted, and dangerous view of her role. The real question is how many of her fellow LEO think the same way. The federal gov't is not our friend. A percentage of LEO is, likewise, not our friend. The only question is what percentage.

I wonder what LEO personnel think about government when some with influence in today's government were in the streets murdering cops a generation ago. To wit, Mr. and Mrs. Ayers are "guilty as hell" and arguably now represent "the Establishment." IMO.

I hope you don't mind this second reply to you, it's just that I really want the murderers of Sgt. McDonnell convicted and IMO there is absolutely no doubt who's responsible for his murder. Problem is, the Ayers have admirers and friends in high government, media, and academic places -- i.e., the Establishment.
