I have often wondered which side the cops would take when it comes down to a choice of supporting and defending either a corrupt, oppressive government or the Constitution.

I guess now we know.

It won't be so simple. There are quite a few police out there who will support their oath to defend the Constitution. However, we will be best served by them staying inside the system and providing intelligence rather than by them resigning from the force in protest.

In a lot of states, federal laws will simply not be enforced. In *Canada*, a number of provinces simply refused to enforce their draconian gun registry. Civil resistance was massive. A few people went to jail, but they have changed governments and the Conservatives made it a campaign pledge to eliminate the draconian “long gun” registry, which is what was being resisted. I am not sure that they will win, but they have a good shot, and we should be able to do better.

Having people on our side *inside* the system will be an enormous help.

Not all cops are like that.

I know several who are military veterans who’ve expressed off the record that they’re disgusted with most of the policies pushed upon them knowing that such policies hurt law abiding citizens more than the criminals they were intended for.

I also know of other cops who are uber liberals and frequently abuse their power.
