And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.
Man’s a fool and a big-mouth! What a stupid thing to say!

In the decades following WWII, a number of Jews said the very same thing.
Far smarter to just do it...
I agree it is not an easy job. I have retired and current relatives that are law enforcement and the stories they tell sometimes are heart breaking and it is mentally and emotionally challenging for them.
However, this person is clearly a danger to the citizenry and as I posted will use the “I was following orders...” excuse. If he will gleefully kick someones door down and assault them in their home for gun confiscation what else will he use it for? Shoot to kill? No arrests? Fire into a crowd?
I bet this cop listens to a lot of Wagner
I’m surprised that their police Dept. allowed someone with an IQ below 50 to get the job.
If someone is so fearful of those who would need to use their weapons to protect their rights, it makes me very nervous that these people have any power at all.

Remember, “Head Shots.” Otherwise, you’re just playing target practice with a bullet-proof vest.
“The Silence should be employed today on the likes of Peterson and a good many others.”
The Silence, a public shunning and ostracism, is a great tactic. Sell him no food, no gas, no clothing. The other necessary element to fight state fascism is to elect a pro-2nd amendment, Constitutional sheriff in your county. With a constitutional sheriff you can:
1. Investigate left wing fascists.
2. Throw these fascists in jail.
3. Run rogue police chiefs and cops out of the county.
4. Bar federal fascists from entering the county.
5. Buy surplus munitions.
6. Muster and train a volunteer 2,000 man armed deputy auxiliary - one battalion - for “emergencies.”
I can assure everyone that state-sponsored terrorist groups are very afraid of sheriffs who can bring armed muscle to a dance.
See ya!!
Americans have no appetite for duplicating and repeating the German creation of Hitler's Willing Executioners!
Kinetic enegy.
Even if the oaf has rifle resistant plates (Most dont) The ENERGY goes into his flesh. Enough shots, jello guts and he's dead.
You can stun him long enough to get a good head shot....
An Unconstitutional Law is Void.
“just following orders” got you a Nuremburg Necktie.

Mr. Waxman's ancestors can be seen in the distance, in the red coats.
The police need to understand that the ones who voted for this law will not be the ones putting their lives at risk to enforce it.
How many police officers will die before they decide to no longer enforce it?
