>Shame on you for being willing to do the job. <
are you out of your mind?
>They forget they need the support and compliance and good will of the citizenry to make the world safe. So I reject LE as a legitimate profession.<
I really don’t give a damn what you think. I know what I did and I take this as a personal attack. As i said this is complete BS. You people have no idea what kind of a cop I was and I will be damned if some rummy who knows NOTHING about me can tell me to apologize over and over.
No sir, it is YOU who owes me an apology.
making asinine statements like
>You spent a career consuming tax dollars and leeching off the productivity of others. <
doesn’t even deserve a reply.
Instead of taking a person who may shed actual insight to the growing problems of law enforcement, how the profession works and what can be done about it, all you backward thinking, the sky is falling tin foiled hat people can do is criticize.
YES tin foil.
>Tomorrow those same police powers will be used to take away guns or some other nonsense. <
you said
>Nobody wants drunks driving around killing people. <
so just how the hell is it going to be stopped if the police don’t try to stop it?
I tried to offer insight and was attacked.
Unfortunately you can attack me day and night, but this is still a country of laws. Where we all have to respect the rights of others and give them the proper safety from society as a whole. Your all really good at attacking the people who do the job to the best of their abilities, but you offer no real solutions. Just attack attack attack.
Now you want me to apologize?
You better check the temperature in hell first.
Here you will find solutions.
1. Absolutely forbid any and all federal dollars going into any State, County, or local LE. That will return control of local LE to local levels.
2. DUI is treated like TSA treats air travel. A few crazy Muslims make them treat the entire world like criminals and they spend time looking up granny’s skirt instead of profiling Arab Muslims. In a similar vein instead of having these enormous drag nets trying to catch everybody, concentrate on people who create property damage while drunk. If you crash your car or kill somebody it’s over. If you kill somebody driving drunk it’s murder one. If you crash your car drunk, you never drive again. Period. That way you don’t harass the whole world over a few drunks.
3. Down size the PD by 2/3, and force them to solve property crimes not chase revenue pulling over granny.
The fact that government employees are leeches on the backs of the productive members of society? Well that will never change. Government employees chose government work a long time ago. Many years ago I looked at my options as a young college grad and I considered LE but turned it down because I wanted to be an economic producer. The day John Q Public has had enough of high taxes and LE gauntlets and decides he doesn’t want to go to work any more government employees are out of work. You need the good will of the communities you serve. Instead cops line the medians at busy intersections shining flashlights into granny’s minivan.
I don’t want to live in North Korea. But with the active, aggressive omnipotent law enforcement presence I find in my sleepy little town it feels like North Korea on Kim Jung Ill day.
