Cop: I'd Love to 'Bang down Your Door and Come for Your Gun'
American Thinker ^ | 3-12-2014 | Selwyn Duke

Posted on 03/12/2014 5:40:48 AM PDT by servo1969

And to a poster named Cameron Smith, Peterson said, “I give my left n** to bang down your door and come for your gun.”

Of course, the conversation had become heated, causing Peterson to perhaps speak a bit more rashly than he would otherwise. And I’m well aware of the “good soldier” cop argument stating that theirs is not to wonder why, theirs is but to do or die (even if it kills constitutional rights). Hey, “I don’t make the laws,” says the dutiful constable, “I just enforce them.” But there’s a problem with this position. And this is why I want to give you, my friends in law enforcement, the reasoned, moral argument for “policeman nullification.”

Even good people can live lives of contradiction and entertain ideas that simply aren’t true. For instance, if you’re a cop, it’s easy to justify an action by saying that your job is only to enforce the law, especially since, on paper, this is certainly so. But the implication that you enforce every law, across the board, every time, without discretion is absolutely untrue and you, I and everyone else knows it. You don’t ticket everyone driving 31 in a 30 zone, and many times even more egregious law-breakers get off with a warning. Some laws aren’t applied at all, such as a parking law in my town an officer told me was on the books but that “we don’t enforce.” You use discretion all the time.

He didn’t own anything. He got stomped like a nark at a biker rally...and zotted, too! The ultimate ass kicking.

In my 50+ years here, this would be the first un-zotting I have ever seen. It is a gol-darn miracle.

The name-calling alone dictates he won ownership of that thread.

I will happily operate the gallows all day every day while humming the Star Spangled Banner. Think about that - each and every one of you lib lurkers out there cheering for the trampling of our rights. When you lose, it will go very, very badly for you.

Our Founders would be right beside you, cheering you on. Our Founders realized this day would arrive -- an out of control government (at all levels).

If the evil left and GOPe succeed in destroying our Republic, I pray when they are crushed in the rebellion that they are shown absolutely no mercy.

“Of course, the conversation had become heated, causing Peterson to perhaps speak a bit more rashly than he would otherwise.”

I’d say Peterson was just speaking his true feelings which most of the time he may hide.

You don’t pay attention much if that was your first. And 50+ years? Name calling is not always juvenile. People who claim that are usually mental midgets that are weak minded losers thinking it makes them look like they are taking the high road.

I don’t have a problem with people shooting rogue cops, and cops who enforce unconstitutional laws like Connecticut’s new gun laws are rogue.

The problem is that there are MANY contraconstitutional laws — for example, NM's constitution prohibits laws prohibiting citizens from keeping and bearing arms for security and defense… yet there are statutes which do exactly that (like on university grounds). Then there's federal government to consider; whole swaths of jurisprudence are contraconstitutional, an excellent example is the War on Drugs and the damages inflicted on constitutionally guaranteed rights in the name of justifying it.

Yes!! I've seen better, but that is a damn good example.

Thanks.

This is a regular essay suitable for the editorial sidebar. People have been posting from American Thinker for almost a decade. With renewed attacks on the Second Amendment, I don't know how you posted this in Bloggers & Personal.

Example of what, calling a spade a spade?

You may be a PC liberal type that thinks not being direct is productive but what has being nice gotten the conservative movement? Nothing. You don’t win fights using Queensberry Rules when your opponent is playing by schoolyard rules. With such thin skin you’ll never fight but always run from so much a harsh word.

Well, things seem to get removed from News/Activism folder and put ‘nowhere.’ Unless its from a major news site I can pretty much count on it disappearing. I have given up trying to guess what will stay and what will be removed. So, to avoid that I often post in Bloggers & Personal or General/Chat. Those are left alone.

I posted this here on FR way back just before Y2K during the Clinton era and now I can't find it, but I kept the original verbiage. You guys ought to like this:

An open letter from a 'Green Beret'

The Resister: The Political Warfare Journal of the Special Forces Underground
Spring 1998 'Defector in Place--USSOCOM'

This letter is addressed to old family Reds, central bankers, military traitors (past and present), academia, media pundits, "civil rights" activists, and "Greens." Your worst fears are justified; Special Forces Underground is real. It's not just a subtitle on the Resister's masthead. Worse for you, is that it's not just in Special Forces. It exists in all branches of the military, in federal agencies, among civilians, and in several foreign countries.

I am an old Special Forces active duty soldier. I've worked with people in all branches of the military, alphabet soup federal agencies, police departments, and civilians. While most people I've worked with are passive supporters of resistance to your "global community," there are some who are willing to actively defend what they believe in.

I will continue to perform my appointed military duties in a professional manner. I will publicly agree with your collectivist policies and parrot your slogans. I pay my taxes, don't belong to any "militia," and won't join any "extremist" group. For all outside appearances I am one of your "global community" peasants.

Having traveled extensively I have seen firsthand the results of failed collectivist governments who have looted their countries into squalor. Most politically attuned people I know have seen it also and know that the only way you can achieve your global community is by doing the same to America. Some think resistance is futile. Maybe it is.

But we are willing to fight you, and make you pay DEARLY for your arrogance. We are moral, principled, and believe in the ORIGINAL Constitution and the philosophies that define it. You see, your mistake was that you thought we'd just mumble our oath and then contradict it when ordered to. but YOU,--you promoters of the "brotherhood of mankind"--are the enemies domestic we are sworn to defend the Constitution against.

We didn't choose you as the enemy. By your collectivist ideologies and actions, you self selected.

We pray to the God you SCORN that the day never arrives when we are finally compelled to turn against you, what you expected us to do to enemies foreign. If that day does arise, lament. For I, and others like me, have been trained in the blackest of arts, and the darkest of crafts.

Your minions are useless cattle. They cannot protect you. You cannot hide. WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE, but you'll NEVER know whether der guten soldat you hired is one of us---or not.

So, to all you altruist-collectivist global citizens: "YOU WILL FIND NO JOY IN YOUR NEW WORLD ORDER."

Example? 'Example' was never part of our conversation.

What is it you wish an example of?

a PC liberal type..schoolyard rules..such thin skin you’ll never fight but always run from so much a harsh word

While you are still playing in the schoolyard, I have long since moved onto a much tougher arena. So, please dazzle me with your schoolyard techniques.(don't forget the personal insults)

Argumentum ad Hominem (abusive and circumstantial): the fallacy of attacking the character or circumstances of an individual who is advancing an argument instead of trying to disprove the truth of the statement or the soundness of the argument.

You don’t win fights using Queensberry Rules

In the short space of two postings, you have called me:
inattentive, stupid, weak, a loser, a PC liberal type, thin skinned, and a coward.

What is your argument again, and what fight have you won?
