What was the ‘old statement’ back in late 60’s/early 70’s.
You can dislike Cops and like Hippies.. If that is your choice, next time you get in trouble call a ‘Hippy’ and leave the Police out of it.
I like the Ferguson PD reaction when ‘they’ said the Cops stood around and did nothing when the ‘michael brown’ memorial was burning.
“I thought I would ‘pee’ on it to put it out but I am quite sure no one would understand what I was doing”...(That probably didn’t PUBLICLY happen but I am sure if something had thought about it, it would have been said....)
I suspect many of those opposed to police at all times on this site simply don’t have local police (or much need for them). In the developed parts of this country, clusters of “ne’er-do-wells” (for lack of a better term) have gathered around places where businesses have brought prosperity for their handouts; the people working in those businesses appreciate having the police protect them from the parasites.
Interesting stories in this area with home invasions and store robberies targeting Indians; guess someone figured out that our replacement middle-class Americans like cash...
