Sorry, just the existence of those benefits programs DID NOT create them. That was in their makeup as citizens and persons. But natural selection would have weeded them out without those subsidies.
If you want more of something, subsidize it. If you want less of something, tax it.

BS. Maybe in NYC and other shiiteholes. Down here I know hundreds of officers and state policeman not one would stand with the government to oppress normal Americans. I cannot speak towards fed guys, I avoid them like bad Mexican food.

If the feds came to the cops in your hometown and said “We need some help with this “no knock” warrant.” Do you think they’d say “Nah, can’t help you. We’re for the people.”
I think they’d say “What can we do to help?” without even looking at the warrant. Then they’d be all giddy saying “Yippee! We get to put on our military gear and play soldier!”

Maybe in some circumstances. I was in the biz for years and believe me read every warrant I went on to assist.

Youd be surprised at how many can cling to an AFV. One or two applications of canister rounds would clean them off.

That’s utterly appalling. This whole police force needs to be disbanded and start over.
