Here is a good article to support what I am talking about. This is from CPAC where conservatives have had enough of the WOD: http://www.breitbart.com/InstaBlog/2014/03/07/CPAC-Audience-Legalize-It
When the government abuses it’s citizens everybody loses. Imagine CPAC members having had enough of the government clubbing people over maryJane.
Again, dealing with the elderly, particularly sick, mentally diminished elderly does require tact and a different approach. Common sense says you treat an old guy with a fever and a cane differently than a punk on bath salts eating somebodies face.
But I am telling you Police better change who and what they are, while they still can.
I understand that the c in CPAC is for conservatives, but it is attended by large numbers of Libertarians who dominated that meeting. Not really conservatives. Libertarians tend to be conservative on some issues, certainly not on drugs. My concern is how does one control second hand smoke and protect infants and children? You can’t. I do not favor legalizing pot or anything else.
There is a limited education needed to be a cop. High school diploma and some police academy classes. Certainly does not guarantee intelligence. One would hope for quality candidates with common sense to take the job, but —alas— we take our chances.
“Common sense says you treat an old guy with a fever and a cane differently than a punk on bath salts eating somebodies face.”
Well, it’s “comnon sense” element that seems to be missing here. Like, zero tolerance in schools. Like shooting dogs that are barking at you instead of avoiding them. When I was in high school, I saw administrators confiscate small amounts of drugs from students and scare the crap out of them, instead of calling in the po-po and ruining their lives.
If liberals and conservatives can’t find some common ground against the machinery and process of thuggery soon, I agree that there will be a sudden, massive, and very ugly backlash against it. It’s just a matter of time until there is an incident so outrageous that it becomes a tipping point. I believe that someone like Ron Paul in some capacity can help to do this.
