[Right Brother]

Maybe the many cop haters here at FR will chime in with “is the dog OK?”

I think a lot of Freepers, including myself, were once staunch defenders of the police. But that was some time ago when police behaved considerably better. If you don't think that many police are currently acting in a more belligerent and militaristic fashion, then you are not paying attention. Freepers don't 'hate' police. They hate jackbboots and power trip gestapo techniques that are increasingly being employed.

I agree. I thought about making a very similar response to GSC but then thought, "Why bother? People like him/her, are going to believe what they want - just like a progressive."

GSC, I’m interested in your response to what Right Brother said, as his views mirror my own.

Great reply. I wish I could say it that well. Where I live in N.J. Barney barely needs a bullet but all seven cops of which 3 are part time have all the bells & whistles. And our citizens are still better armed than the cops are.

I should have included you in my #20 post to Gay State Conservative. It was an oversight.

Up until 14 years ago i had complete trust in law enforcement and a profound respect for police officers. That was until I was framed by a corrupt cop and justice of the peace. I will never trust any of them ever again.

My candidate for post of the day.
