You must have missed my tagline. I, too, am unhappy with our militarized police forces and the thin blue line mentality and unionized corruption.

But... acting like them (one standard for me and another for thee) won’t fix the problem.

If we are to take back control from law enforcement we have to treat them fairly and re-socialize them back to a constitutional civil society.

We should start by doing away with police unions and collective bargaining rights for public employees.

“But... acting like them (one standard for me and another for thee) won’t fix the problem.”

Agreed on that. Just remember that when you (cops that is) seem bent on ticking people off, people aren’t as likely to be nearly as fair in their standards. That is the price of arrogance.

I’m just saying I suspect the local police aren’t being nearly as critical of his claims about how he was driving as they would a non cop.
More than the unions, we have to stop letting cops investigate their own. I remember this headline a while back. “The Pima County Sheriffs PD has investigated the actions of the Pima County PD and could find no sign of wrong doing.”
Gee, you think?
