And people ask me why I hate cops.
I don't hate the individual cop, I hate what their organization has become. Long ago they gave up "Serve and Protect" in favor of "Tax and Collect".
So individual officer's reading this, you will certainly be called sir and treated with respect by me, but once you leave I will certainly generalize the lot as human scum. Y'all remember that lot's of people met their doom at the end of a rope for "following orders", if you don't resist the encroachment on our freedoms, you or future police may pay a high price for it. This country was founded on revolt against tyranny, it can happen again. I pray we change course before we get to that point.
It certainly looks that way and it infuriates me as well.
But remember, the cops are doing what the officials that WE ELECT tell them to do. It's not the cops that make the laws. It's the elected officials that have proven that they can't be trusted.
Excellent analysis. They have forgotten their role to protect citizens against crime and have become nothing more than revenue makers for the State in the form of tickets. I laugh at the thought that the police actually believe they are better serving their communities by going after those hardened criminals who (agast) don't have their seatbelts on!!!
Amen.
