“We the people” gave the Government the Right to exist … Not the other-way around

A thought exercise

There are good police officers, and they far outnumber the bad police officers is the common premise, yet

When a police officer does something to upset a member of the public, that police officer is investigated BY HIS PEERS.

The vast majority of public complaints are deemed baseless BY THE POLICE.

When an officer breaks the law, instead of ostracizing and shunning the offending officer, the police close ranks to protect him/her.

The police are allowed to lie to and intimidate the public “in the course of their investigations”, but any member of the public that mis-remembers or misstates anything is subject to prosecution. Any disagreement with an officer is very often escalated to “public disorder and resisting arrest”.

Therefore, because the police protect the wrong doers in their ranks, and seldom if ever drum out the “bad ones”, it appears to me that there ARE NO GOOD COPS.

Once the police start tossing the bullies, liars and defrauding/framing specialists from their gang, we can perhaps start to respect them again, but they have dug themselves one helluva hole in the hearts and minds of a very large proportion of the populace

As conservatives, we pride ourselves on our unwavering support of the Thin Blue Line...

False. CINOs maybe.

I’m sure he was just following orders...

I’m also quite sure that Satan will welcome him home with open arms.

I don’t believe blue lives matter. That was a stupid slogan.

No lives matter.

Cops are cops, and they MUST have a better relationship with EVERYONE, especially black Americans, or they lose legitimacy.

That’s the bottom line.

Exactly.

That is why the whole Blue Lives Matter stuff needs to end.
