Oh, I get it, all right. You would just go along with the status quo, maybe watching a little closer, but won’t take a chance of reprisals or worse because he has the badge behind him.
Just like the battered wife who knows not to call cuz she knows what will happen and there is no badge ready to help her.
My question to you is:
What happens when the methhead goes off and harms someone? Will you be there backing him up or cuffing him? I mean, now that there is a victim. Do you cover for him? Do you feel any regret for not arresting him, getting him help and so on sooner? Sometimes right is right and it hurts.
You are a total disgrace. But, it makes you feel better. If you knew the circumstances I am talking about, you would be ashamed. I don’t expect that on your part and it doesn’t matter to me.
In my very humble opinion, cops are out to create revenue for their jurisdictions. Sometimes, in doing so, they stop someone from doing something wrong. Most times they are a nuisance that costs money.
Sometimes a simple traffic stop can turn deadly and I have praise for those POs in that situation. I am watching a case in AZ about one such event. So, while I paint most cops as bullies and/or government lackeys, not all are.
The very bottom line is that I do not trust them to protect me, my family or anyone I care about. That is my responsibility.
