I do think lately the cops are far more trigger happy than they have ever been. I moved to a small community on the coast to find nice police officers, like the ones from my childhood, in part.
OK that’s great. Would you show those police officers that you like now the posts on Free Republic that you support against cops in general. I don’t think you would and I think you appreciate a good police force as we all do. I don’t like police corruption or abuse any more than anyone else here. I ask you only one thing. Go back to that original post and look at what was said by some of these freepers and then tell me that their comments against me were warranted. They had nothing to with the topic or article in question but only with my comment about “all police officers should get home safely”. Which I stand by completely. I told someone else here that I understand that a lot of people don’t rust the cops because they were either arrested or had a bad experience involving them. Some believe that the police have too much power and I agree. That power comes from us. We have that control. Advocating violence against police is wrong. Just go back and look at some of those posts against what I said. If you agree with them then come back here and call me a drunk.
