You related the cop issue to “Barney Fife” a fictional character on a TV show, yet even the fictional Sheriff Andy found Barney useful and likeable and did not “pick on him”(though he did work around him often). So it tells me you are relating the McKinney situation to memes and narratives to themes you have been programmed with by the media and don’t have a seasoned morality grounded in real life to accurately judge what is going on. Relating the McKinney video to how Sheriff Andy should have done things vs how the “Barney Fife” cop in that video had performed...you can’t be serious!
If the girl had been permanently hurt or the teens shot as they pretended to gesture that they had a weapon before taking off when the cop waved the real gun, then we would have been in some agreement. Cops are being pushed into a corner in this country and if they suddenly just quit being cops...then this country is in a world of trouble. You see what is going on in Baltimore. I’m inclined to show a cop like this a little more discretion, given what is going on in this nation.
The various policing and legal agencies are like chains. Chains have weak and strong links and the internal adversaries of our nation are trying to push to see if they can get the weak links to break so that they can destroy our nation. That is where I am coming from!
The various “Sheriff Andy’s” have become corrupted or too frightened to act....what may well be left to us are the “Barney Fifes”....to use your analogy(Obama’s crowd like to call us conservative right wingers Barney Fifes any way so you might as well get your one bullet out). Another way of looking at it... The vessels of Gold and Silver have failed us....the vessels of clay and wood will have to step up and be strong!
Your goofy rantings are getting longer and more rambling.
When Barney Fife proved to be like this cop, hysterical and excitable, even the Mayberry kids made fun of him.
Since I don’t even have television and have avoided it for the majority of my life, your personal attacks are even sillier and more dishonest than you know.
Don’t become so brainwashed and sheep like, that you can’t see a man who isn’t suited to be a street cop, even when you see him doing what caused his superiors to remove him from the streets. Your post shows that you are willing to make yourself not see what is in front of you, because you have a bigger agenda, you have to defend all cops, and all cop actions, even this goof ball Barney Fife guy, screaming obscenities, and losing it in front of the kids.
Christian up, and see what you see, and be willing to see that one cop as an individual, not as a part of your larger propaganda war, where you have to deceive yourself and others, for the greater good.
