Never talk to the cops...

I’m usually optimistic. I love America and everything we used to have here. I’ve traveled and while I loved the experience, there was always a feeling of relief and pride, coming home.
Lately, it’s hard to sleep. I’m sickened by what’s happening as the progs drag our country down in order to triumphantly dance on our heads.
I get that POTUS is not personally stepping in because Americans need to experience this.....call it an inoculation against authoritarian communism.
I’m relieved Barr has instructed US Attorneys to respond when suit is brought and that he has already presented briefs as friends of the court in 2 egregious cases of governor overreach.
But Trump and Barr and your county sheriff cannot be expected to respond immediately in kind in this large, spread-out nation of totally different states in totally different situations. People must bring suit when rights are violated. They must go to the press. They must film egregious behavior of deprivation of rights under color of law.
Likewise, the cops must be shamed and jeered at if they claim to just be following orders. While the sheriff in Calumet County can whine about no citations being served, nothing was said to address the arrogance, contempt and condescension displayed by the cops.
Many, many, many rural dwellings are single-wides, many with additions. Many are double-wides, which are essentially manufactured homes.
Trailer is not an epithet.
My parents were snowbirds in the last few years of their lives. They couldn’t afford to maintain two conventional homes so they purchased two nice mobile homes in senior parks. It provided them with great opportunities for camaraderie and security.
My older brother took over one of the homes when my parents passed. He lives there still. It’s a tidy two-bedroom home with nice landscaping - no different than most in Anytown USA. That these two JBT’s would mock or disparage someone based on that sort of standard makes my blood boil.
We will get past this - but I won’t be forgetting what they subjected us to anytime soon.
