Thanks for stepping up to the plate.
I just double-checked the picture...I really doesn’t look like *that* to me.
LOL... a little.... I cannot tell, I don’t often gaze in that direction...
The enablers are always the first against the wall,
because, after all, if they betrayed their fellow citizen,
how can they be trusted?
You keep repeating yourself.
Have a nice day.
One can only hope, my FRiend. Looks like the hammer will strike the anvil well within our lifetimes, and perhaps within mere months. Certainly no later than 2018, is my guess.

Enjoy your barbed wire fence, louse-filled tent, and occasional MRE.

I understand that California has a lot of violent illegal immigrants and the cops are rightly in a cautious state of mind, but that's no excuse to point a weapon at every person coming through your checkpoint. There is a right and wrong way of doing things -- this is certainly the wrong way. If some cops can't handle situations like this with a level head, maybe they should find a safer job.
I wonder why the cop in the foreground isn't wearing his tacticool gear, like his larger compatriot. And I may be mistaken due to the angle, but is he holding the rifle sideways, "gangsta" style?
I know, bro. I went through Russia -- post-collapse -- for a few weeks and I never saw drawn-and-pointed rifles, but a few of the native citizens told me I missed that by only a few years.
This is Soviet behavior, and it has come to Amerika.
Yes it is.

I understand, its dangerous out there for the police, especially in a place like California. But that doesn't change our rights. There is no draft in the police force. Nobody coerced these people into the job. If they can't fulfill their duties in the correct manner, they need to get a nice safe job ad let those who truly respect the rights of free citizens to enforce the law.
"mouthing off" and "being a dick" is not a shooting offense. The police are our equals, not our superiors. They have no special right to treat the rest of us like criminals, like crap, because they somebody pinned a badge on them.
The driver has his hands in full view. If he went for a gun, would the time its takes the officer to point his gun from a safe direction to the driver's head be the difference between life and death for the cop? Only if the cop is rustier than the tin man in the wizard of oz.
>>What are the worst like, hmmmmmmm?
The exact same: belligerent, roid-ed up assholes with a chip on their shoulders who hear the “as long as you get home safely at night” mantra over and over again while being fed another stream of “there are two kinds of people: those on the job and perps”.
Then, they get to put on their ninja suits with all the pouches and pockets and run around pointing guns at taxpayers.
In other words, “a civilian army with the same equipment and training as the military”. Obama’s stormtroopers.
“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” Barack Hussein Obama, 7/2/2008He doesn’t call it a Civil Defense force, that would imply we need (or perhaps that we deserve) defense.
The official name is National Civilian Community Corps.
I think of it as the NATCCC, or simply the NATCs...

Yep. Those guys. One day, all the myriad of federal LE agencies will suddenly show up in one uniform. Then, they nationalize the city cops. The Sheriff’s departments many hold out for a while, but they’ll just be disbanded or assimilated.
Instant “civilian” army and its already equipped with similar gear and weaponry (thanks to generous gummint grants over the past 20 years).
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!
You’re right, Laz. That photo is a must see. I guess we can be thankful for small miracles in that his finger wasn’t on the trigger.
Packin’ a gun and packin’ wood.
He really really really likes his job!
