“...Chicago Police scoff at the notion that more handguns will lower the citys crime rate...”
That’s the HALE Button, folks...had all’s I can take, and I can’t takes no more...
Scoff? SCOFF? People are DYING while they “scoff”???
Fine. Scoff away. Then all of you Chicago LEOs - YOU DAMN WELL BETTER PROVIDE 24/7/365 PERSONAL PROTECTION for EVERY ONE OF THE TAXPAYING CITIZENS OF CHICAGO - and I mean STANDING RIGHT BY THEIR SIDE every minute of the day. No let up... No coffee and donut breaks... no quick visit-to-the-local-brothel breaks...Nothing. You either stand by the citizens’ sides and provide direct protection against thuggery, murder, rape...
...Or shut the hell up, get out of the way, and know your damned place, PUBLIC SERVANTS.
After all...”to Serve and Protect” right? Or is that now “to Enforce and Oppress?”
So - by that “scoffing” line of thinking, every citizen that gets MURDERED means YOU Chicago LEOs FAILED at your job! YOU’RE as responsible for the murder as the murderer - IF you support keeping law-abiding citizens disarmed.
Harsh? I think not. Citizens have a RIGHT not to be murdered. LEOs better thank God above that the majority of the citizenry are on your side every day and have your six; otherwise you’d be overwhelmed by the scum of the earth.
Carrying a firearm is a RIGHT. Protecting your LIFE is THE most Basic Human Right.
DEAL with it.
My apologies to the good Cops out there who understand this simple fact. You guys need to get the Blue Brotherhood in line on this (not easy, I know).
Thanks for posting, lex33.
haledude, the simpler answer to these revenue enhancement officers is to disarm themselves first and prove the theory...
