That’s my take on it as well.
You know, I see a lot of folks shooting off their mouths here who have never known a police officer personally, haven’t had a family member in a force, and haven’t done any rid-alongs themselves.
This people harken back to 1970s and the Hippies that called Police Pigs and anything else they could come up with on the spur of the moment. You won’t find me joining that ilk.
Yes officer are human. Yes they make mistakes. Sometimes they lose their tempers. Sometimes they operate with forethought in a criminal manner.
There are also over seven hundred thousand police officers out there who take a verbal beating day in and day out. They go to home to help resolve issues, and often find themselves under attack from both parties, even though one desperately called for help.
We don’t know how many times these people are accosted without incident. What we know about is that Leftist anarchists find it entertaining to slam officers every chance they get. I’ve had folks tell me they thought every officer was evil, and others have told me they don’t think there should even be such a thing as police. They think neighborhoods should enforce the law without the police.
It takes all kinds. It’s amazing where some people who think they are Conservative line up on these matters.
Abby Hoffman, Jane Fonda, Angela Davis, Huey Newton, and a whole host of other well-knowns from the 60s and 70s agree were their mentors. It’s just that they are oblivious to this fact.

I know, and I don’t know how they do it- I could never handle soemthign like that- the crap they have to put up with is unbelievable. And like you said it’s constant- nonstop- people just have a real dislike for police.

Yup- and there you have it- many get assaulted over and over again- and simply look the other way- Again, I know I couldn’t handle that-

Egads- then it would become so subjective that it would become like either the days of Noah, where ‘everyone did what was right in their own eyes’ or it would become like Russia where a small minority lord it over the rest of the community- and we’d be far worse off than being policed by a department like the police force who have strict rules and regulations they follow to help ensure people’s rights aren’t violated-
