Chiefs are appointed by LIBERAL SQUISHES, in major urban centers, and serve at their pleasure.
BUT, that doesn’t mean the rank and file are unwilling to implement their policies.
Check the behavior of the Denver PD.....among many....
Yea, right.
Those people arrested for having two more rounds in the magazine than the new NY State law allowed?
Those people were not arrested by police chiefs.
The truth is, cops are not the friends or allies of people interested in preserving civil liberties. They’re just interested in carve-outs in gun control laws. Look at NY State. Look at other “blue” states, look at their attempts in Texas, etc: Cops’ interest in “gun rights” stops when they have theirs. All the rest of you “civilians” can go pound sand.
That's not a slam on cops, they serve a necessary function. But they do work for the state, and the needs of state actors must never preempt the rights and needs of private citizens.
Sorry but I know many LEO’s and have all my life and I know that this is no myth.
Have to agree. NY State is the worst. Under Federal Law properly certified and qualified retired etc LEOs can carry a concealed weapon in all 50 (Or 57 Obama states, the added 7 only counted in the Democrat column). NY State arrested one such carrier and it was thrown out.
The NYS cops must really want jobs as bank guards - that is all they are qualified to do. I apologize if I stepped on any dedicated guard or conservative NYS LEO.
As far back as 1962 the ONLY cops who wanted gun control were politically appointed Chiefs of Police.
Cops on the street were just the opposite.

Peace officer’s are now law enforcement. The are paid to enforce the laws and get sovereign immunity for it. Those laws have been multiplying on what seems to be a logarithmic scale.
What’s their incentive to preserve liberty?
