There’s a Free Republic meme going around that ALL law enforcement are jack booted thugs.
I think you’re playing straw-man rhetoric because you know your view is a loser.
Sorry it took so long to respond, but let me clarify. There are certain FReepers who seem to push the meme that all law enforcement are jack booted thugs. Go to just about any thread about law enforcement. You’ll very rarely see one that lauds law enforcement. We usually only see posts condemning the police for violating people’s rights. Not only that, but in those threads you’ll rarely see anyone defending law enforcement.
Consider this thread. The Connecticut police haven’t even started rounding up the unregistered weapons. We don’t know what they’ll do if they’re ordered to do so. Yet, we have a thread talking about the possibility of another Waco. The general opinion again seems to be anti-law enforcement, some going so far as to post how we’re going to need to start shooting back.
Please correct me if I’m wrong. Where are the posts lauding police for jobs well done? I’m sure in a nation this big, the police do heroic deeds. It’s not all bad.
