But I truly believe that, if the Democrats win, the majority of the police departments and sheriff’s offices are going to fall right in line and carry out unconstitutional orders, whether it be gun confiscations, arrests, people being harassed for expressing their political views, whatever. The majority of police officers are going to be under the Stockholm Syndrome, where it’s easer to go along with the captain than it is to fight him. I do believe we need to support them, our law enforcement, all the while keeping it stored in the back of our minds that it’s going to be those same individuals at 3 o’clock in the morning knocking down our doors.
Unfortunately, he is correct.
We've seen the videos of cops arresting mothers on playgrounds for the "crime" of allowing their little children to play.
We've seen cops in their SWAT gear doing No-Knock raids on suburban homes that are suspected of having "arsenals" (i.e. 3 guns and 100 rounds of ammo).
The footage I have seen of cops in Australia is particularly disturbing. The cops there violently hauled off a pregnant mother (who was on her way to an ultrasound) because she made a Facebook post that spoke out against the COVID "lockdown."
For the cops, it all boils down to this: many of them operate on rationalization. That's how they have wired their brains. Most will carry out "orders" blindly without considering right vs. wrong or tyranny vs. freedom. Their jobs, salaries, careers, and pensions upstage the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
