Police officers have a choice -- serve the law, or serve those in power.
Many Conservative Americans have been supportive of our men and women in blue, in response to Leftist attacks of “systemic racism” and the “murder” of “innocent” black men (and women); Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Alton Sterling, Brianna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks, and more recently George Floyd.
Policing is difficult. It is significantly more difficult when confronted by persons who are seemingly willing to go to any length to avoid prison, or resist arrest.

The interactions listed above, while tragic, were efforts by police to enforce the laws and to keep order.
All that being said, if rules/laws are established and enforced which are designed to advance a particular political ideology, and/or are unequally applied, then chaos and anarchy is destined to result.
These past couple summers, we watched Antifa and BLM break countless laws, incite violence among the citizenry, and destroy dozens of inner cities across America, with almost zero legal ramifications. When arrests were made, leftist judges, activists and politicians bailed out those committing these serious offenses.
This past month, we saw a school shooting perpetrated by a black youth handled as though it were a jaywalking offense.
Today, it comes to light that the incident of “domestic terrorism” that prompted the Loudoun County School District to request the involvement of Merrick Garland, the Department of Justice, and subsequently the FBI, was the parent of a teenage girl who had been raped by a transgender student, attempting to voice his opposition to the district’s attempt to “handle the matter internally” rather than involve the police.

The tendency, though not always, is for police to protect the interests of those who sign their pay checks. They are trained in “chain of command”, not “protect and serve” otherwise the Bidens and many other politicians who harm the public would be in jail.
Police are made to enforce the whims of the politicians.
In Democratic strongholds, the police must enforce rules on every little thing, like not selling single cigarettes from a pack you bought (Eric Garner).
Then, the activists who support Democrats come out and say that our communities are over-policed and that citizens are harassed by the police.
Their answer? More Democrats who create more laws that the police need to enforce.
This is precisely why I stopped supporting the police.
Now, I obviously don’t want anything to happen to them. But at the end of the day, they are going to serve the ruling elite because they will get fed first.
People are going to need to start pushing back on these Deep State enforcers. Those cops should have been overwhelmed by citizens and dragged outside to face an ad hoc criminal trial with sentence to be carried out immediately.
Sheriffs are elected officials who can be kicked out if they become too uppity, too bothersome of the majority.
Policed serve the politicians who hire them. We have allowed another degree of separation of control and responsibility for police.
The crooked political machines in the large urban areas were all supported by and supportive of their police forces.
Now the stupid left is attempting to remake the police in their desired politically radical image.
It is a very dangerous and difficult thing to do, for all concerned.
It makes sense if you wish to destabilize and perhaps destroy the United States.
Who benefits? The Chinese Communist Party and the Globalists. A few power brokers in the USA would rather rule ashes than give up power...
If you push back on police who violate their oath to the Constitution then know that they can harass you, arrest you, beat you, or kill you and get away with it.
Meaning that if you head down this road then prepare for war because that’s what’s coming if you stand against them.
Even if you’re a cop who honors their oath.
“Oathkeepers” being domestic terrorists according to the Democrats.
So like you I appreciate the good cops but these days I have to wonder if the good cops would stand against the bad cops.
Real life isn't a movie.
“There is a significant difference between “police departments” and Sheriff’s offices.
Sheriffs are elected officials who can be kicked out if they become too uppity, too bothersome of the majority.”
The law enforcement who arrested the guy at the school board meeting were deputy sheriffs. The same people who voted for the school board voted for the sheriff.
“The law enforcement who arrested the guy at the school board meeting were deputy sheriffs. The same people who voted for the school board voted for the sheriff.”
Conservatives need to elect pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriffs. That sheriff has the legal and armed muscle to take care of fat-boy gestapo cops.
Always been my understanding that the ones who hire the police officers were the elected officials whose oath of office includes obeying/upholding the laws of the land. So...if a police officer were just trying to please his superior over some questionable thing, then is he guilty of obeying an unlawful order? So, while there is definitely a chain of command & there turns out to be a “dirty link” in that chain; well then what? There seems to be an awful lot of that going around these days.
The police are going to have to choose which side they are on.
