These are the guys, with their militarized SWAT teams and very casual attitudes about this Constitution thing, civilian control of the police, and the fact that you have them giving loyalty to political organizations, (Weis in Chicago as an example) that are going to control "civil crisis."
The LEOs are the sharp end of the spear. They are the ones who enforce the "law," regardless of how silly, stupid, greedy or deadly the "law" is. They obey. They don't think, or refuse an order. They justify anything, because it's "us" against Civilians. Recall that the Einsatzgruppen were drawn from German Police Departments, not the military. LEOs are the ones who will dig the ditches...
The infiltration of political hacks in our law enforcement system is a big, big deal. I think you’re right on the money with this comment.
When law enforcement down in Missouri took it upon themselves before the election to patrol whether there was political speech about Obama raising taxes or being a closet Muslim, it should have sent a loud, clear call to everybody who understands the importance of the rule of law.
Law enforcement at every level refuses to enforce the laws - unless there’s a political advantage to doing so.
