Any time they damn well please.
“...Any time they damn well please...”
“Any time”?? Well sometimes, stupid actions have dire consequences.
“Some say” if they LOOK like terrorists, masked, in black, brandishing guns, kicking in doors and screaming etc., they might just get TREATED like terrorists by “some” who aren’t inclined to just lie down and take the abuse.
And that will be a Bad Day for ALL concerned.
We USED to have laws in this country...like “Presumed Innocent until found guilty”...”Due Process”...the right to be secure in your own home...
Quick...what do you call it when law ENFORCEMENT breaks, disregards, and otherwise pisses on the law and the people they’re supposed “to serve and protect”???
Well, you call it years of conditioning the sheeple from “CSI”....”Cops”...”SouthLAND”...”The BADGE!...”NYPD Blue”...” etc. We’re supposed to just take it as a matter of course that they’re allowed to do this, shut up, roll over, and accept the tie wraps on our wrists, the knee in our backs, and the Little German Submachine Gun shoved into our head. All for “the safety of the Officers”, you understand....
This ain’t “Barney Miller”...it’s more like “1984”.
And this sh*t happens too often and too quickly. That’s how people die. On BOTH sides of the badge.
