This is why I am absolutely terrified of being pulled over by law enforecment. I remember when as child we were told they were our friend and would help us. Now fear them more than criminal since can’t defend my self from a cop.( I am a boomer babe). What on earth is going on ??
It was a Republic ... if we could keep it.
We didn't keep it.
Now we have an increasingly tyrannical oligarchy.
There is an instructor that teaches police that ALL civilians should be considered hostile and that the cop is permitted to treat as such. That’s scary.
Cops are cowards with guns and badges who were picked on when they were little boys. We wouldn’t have this “cop” problem if there weren’t bullies. (Sarc)
Seriously, way too many cops are way too itchy to shoot SOMETHING.
And I’m like you. Cops are one of several groups of bad people I don’t want to interact with.
I feel the same way. At one time, I never feared being stopped by the police. Now I do.
That was then. This is now. I, too, told my children that the police were their friends. This is now. I now avoid any contact with the police an tell my grandchildren to avoid contact with the police. Times have changed.
