These ‘people’ need to GTFO of this country.
Once upon a time, I saw highway patrolmen as protectors and promoters of public safety. Now, I see them mostly as revenue agents for the Nanny State. Or Privateers and Highwaymen.
Abbey Hofman?
I’ve called police exactly twice in my life. Once was on my own large outdoor party, it had been invaded by a large number of uninvited guests who were actually throwing beer bottles at the house while I was calling them. Long story, never had a big outdoor party again after that. Second time, I was driving home late at night from a bar, through heavy fog. Came upon an abandoned vehicle in the middle of the road on a very dark unlit stretch of road, the driver had hit a pole and the car was obviously totaled, but driver nowhere to be seen. Somebody could have been killed hitting the wreckage. Other than that, I’ve never engaged them and hope to never have to do so. I no longer trust them, sad to say. Yes I’m sure there are good cops but there are just too many bad apples anymore, and I get the sense that the law is no longer on my side as a conservative, on top of that.
On #4: I used to help people whose cars had broken down. Changed many tires and if I couldn’t fix their problem I’d wait with them till help arrived. I never felt the need to call the police but, I don’t help much after carjackings and robberies started making news.
I'm good thanks. My Glock provides all the self defense I need.
I agree with about 80%, the rest is a bit loony. I personally have no use for the police based on personal past experience, yet I do understand their necessity and support those who are trying to do the right thing. Corrupt cops should receive no mercy or special consideration.
Until more of us are satisfied that we have a Government that is FOR it’s citizens, many will follow this path.
I love how the left believes they would somehow be better off without cops. If they succeed in eliminating government cops, I’m sure they’ll love the vigilance committees and militias that will replace them. They’ll learn that people with a blasé attitude about others’ property rights don’t do so well in that environment.
“Abbey Hofman?”
Yes. Many of the left’s ideas about violent and non violent ways of protesting came from him.
Last night I was listening to the scanner when police were dispatched to a home. A woman there thought she had been stabbed in the heart, and her ovary taken. She had no idea how that happened.
I have no idea who formulated that list, but he must live in a very quiet, relatively safe community.
Some of those suggestions could put you in grave danger, especially domestic violence type scenarios. In some places, you’re likely to find yourself on the receiving end of some vindictive person wanting to burn your house down with you and your family, in it.
Bang on the door of some Roudy party could get you shot, or otherwise retaliated against in some very uncomfortable ways. Especially if hard drugs are being utilized at said party.
You had better know what you’re facing before you bang on the door.
Corporate theft? Most places have an alarm system that triggers with the police so that’s
a relatively safe one to ignore.
I personally am grateful when police are called to some situations such as the sound of gunshots nearby. Stray bullets do enter homes and kill innocent, unintended people. A few years ago a 6 year old was killed as she lay sleeping in her bed by a stray bullet.
Maggots, too.
“Don’t feel obligated to defend property”
The right to have and hold property is basic to civilization.
In the face of theft, some say “it’s only money” or jewelry, or whatever, but the theft is not just a crime against property or an individual...it’s a crime against civilization.
IOW, Snitches get stiches.
I'm sure a judge would throw that out, unless it occurred in a corrupt jurisdiction. That's ridiculous.
People who write stuff like this are the first to call the cops when its their ox being gored. And the first to file a lawsuit.
#3 is a good way to get assaulted or shot.
I’ve called 911 twice, both for accidents with injury I witnessed
Called police once on a theft, got stuff back,
but 2 teenagers got felony theft records because of it,
Feel kinda guilty about that...
