It's time to treat cops like they treat us

What happens when we do? Watch.

Some states are worse than others for police and judicial tyranny. New Hampshire courts are barbecue pits, especially in Keene, New Hampshire. Vermont is obviously a rigged system. But I am left alone in these states. In the State of Connecticut cops will threaten your life if you are talking to elected officials about correcting the system.

Rhode Island cops want to arrest you for stupid crap like sleeping in public ... like at a public beach. A reason I never wanted to live in Rhode Island.

Hawaiian State and/or local Police try to sell weed out of the trunks of their cars and then want to bust their competition ...

Pennsylvania some of the worst racist White cops I have ever seen. I was told by a downtown Miami Florida police officer that I was the wrong color to hang out, I'm White. I traveled for months in Europe and the former USSR and had no negative interactions with police, something I can't seem to go a couple of days being left alone in the US pursuing legal activities, trying to enjoy liberty, in the pursuit of happiness.

I got pulled over for being a Yankee out driving at 5 AM in Mississippi. His tune quickly turned to alarm when he learned I was an insurance adjuster in the aftermath of Katrina and I had the power to turn him in or black list him if he had any sort of insurance claim.

New York City cops act like they would like to kill you if they can get you alone, or maybe will just shoot you for fun right in the street.

Not all cops are bad. The good ones seems to be the ones the bad cops target first. There seem to be more bad cops, or cops that just look the other way, than there are really good cops. We need to let the cops out there know that we have their back when they are acting for the public good, and that we will be on their backs when they are not.

The breakdown of this relationship is happening.

And has been happening for decades.

I did a 30 minute radio interview show with the (then) Superintendent of the Delaware State Police. At the start of the program I owned up to the fact my kid brother was a rookie on NYPD and both my father and grandfather were also retired from NYPD. My first question to the Super was "Why are cops no longer looked at in the manner of that old Saturday Evening Post cover of the cop and kid at the counter with ice cream?"

That was 1984.

Here’s what’s happening. We hate our government. We understand our government is repressing us. The cops are the visible representatives of our government. So we hate them.

It’s a sickness. Our country is sick.

I don’t have a solution.

[bboop]

I am with Mears. Reciprocal respect.

[wastedyears]

I remember posting that picture a few times when the first Transformers movie was still recent in peoples’ minds.

[Arrowhead1952]

No, I actually got a bit or praise from the PD chief. I also told him the cruiser number of an LEO who went through a school zone, while the busses were loading students in the PM of an officer talking on his cell phone. Talking on a cell phone in a school zone is ILLEGAL in Texas. The local LEO has a bit of respect for me now.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Some people can still say that. Should you wait for it to happen to you or yours before you speak up?

I'm the sister, daughter, and granddaughter of cops and I'm the first to find fault with a bad cop because I was taught that by my grandfather, father, and brother.

I hate bad cops, and I consider even an over sense of self to be a bad cop. Thankfully I've only encountered that once and it was dealt with.

"Lots of posters here are realizing just how selectively "the law" is applied, and just how lawless government agents have become. "

Prosecutors and City Attorneys come first on the list. Cops after.

[ASouthernGrl]

I’ll give you a big AMEN on that!

[Paladin2]

The local COP had an officer run him to the local airport with lights and noise to make his plane. He is no longer here.

You were very fortunate to be in a position to do something about your circumstance. Had you found yourself born a black girl in a ghetto you would just have to take the abuse and simmer in helpless rage.

[crazycatlady]

58 for me. But I know it’s not the same for everyone. I used to think that it was a regional thing, that a city or state or part of the country, say New Orleans or Tacoma WA has problems until they make a concerted effort to clean themselves up and in Tacomas case, the fish was rotting from the head.
I’ve been lucky enough to live in places where law enforcement is pretty clean, and pretty competent. I was raped in a small Rocky Mountain city in 1990(if I had had a weapon it would have turned out a lot differently but that’s another story) Police and firefighters there had a reputation for being partiers and not taking life too seriously. But of course I had to call. And I was very much in favor of prosecuting the guy. These city cops were wonderful—professional, enlightened, respectful, compassionate. I was so proud of them. In the emergency room one told me “you know only 5% of these guys go to prison”. I understand that be was preparing me for the worst. But the guy did get convicted and sentenced to 60 years. It turns out that he was a career criminal and they were already aware of him. I don’t really know the point of this story, except that people can surprise you. And think about carrying a weapon.

[DariusBane]

60 years. He got off easy.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

I’m glad to hear that. I would like to think that most Leos are good joes.

[crazycatlady]

20 years for sexual intercourse w/o consent, 20 for robbery, 20 on the repeat felony offender statute. He was up for parole in 2007 but I don’t know if be got it. His entry into prison was also delayed because of a riot they had there in which 5 inmates were killed, mostly snitches, and in very gruesome ways, I guess.I will stop babbling before people guess what state it happened in.

And you and I pay their salaries and for their military grade weaponry, vehicles, and community tanks / SWAT vehicles

Corrupt, from Start to Finish

Add to that the century plus old black market in official birth certificates by Hawaiian officials, such as the one sold to Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen when he was a refugee in the Territory of Hawaii.

[lavaroise]

The military has pride in discipline and double jeopardy.

Cops resort to the “not all cops are bad” weak trust meme excuse.

Do the math.

The corruption is gamed to protect politician Judges and DAs from corruption probes with crocodile tears to boot.

[caver]

“Lots of posters here seem to be working hard for this breadown.”

The breakdown of this relationship is happening without our input. Cops are increasingly militarized with a us verses them attitude. Most cops take the job because of their ego and they like being on a power trip.

[jsanders2001]

> This is the first I have heard of cops selling weed. A link or two to some convictions or arrests for this would be nice.

Lookup the New Orleans PD then. Burglary rings, looting, theft, selling drugs, etc... And I’m not talking about the perps either. I’m talking about the police. And their officers consist of a very large number of Amish.
