When did we go from having Peace Officers, to Law Enforcement?
Remember the days when people trusted police? When a cop would go to your parents when he caught a teen doing wrong and talk face to face with the parents AND the kid? When a cop would pull over someone for driving home from the bar drunk, and stop him, give him a ride home and tell him the next time he was going into the concrete holding cell?
My brother in law was a traffic cop. He actually was reprimanded because he was the only guy on the force that hadn’t written a seat belt violation ticket. He told his Sgt “I feel stupid telling a grown man to put on his seatbelt and writing a ticket”. THAT is a real Peace Officer.
We need Law Enforcement.
Many in law enforcement are very good people (I mean that).
The issue is partially societal and partially the LE.
1. Society has lost it’s values (religious, constitutional, family). I just wrote about this elsewhere. Today we are far worse than in the 60s, and this is what people would do back then: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment Let me give you an example of what I mean. If you were to take a random sample of LE officers today and ask what amendment 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 state, what percent do you think would be able to explain what they say even in the most basic conceptual way?
If you gave the order to shoot at protesters, many in uniform would because the same reasoning that allows them to confiscate guns after Katrina, or to enforce stay at home orders and prevent people from peaceful assembly would allow them to do such. There is no high principal at work.
2. Concepts like patriotism, professionalism, and ethics are used to push folks in LE to be blind rule followers where “compliance” is king. They recruit folks that on paper are squeaky clean but that means little when it come to character and the psychological make up of these individuals. Many of them are on a power trip, they wish they were in the Army, or in fact maybe they were (sorry so was I - but the way of thinking I was taught in the Army as an Airborne Ranger in the infantry is NOT what you want as a cop).
We recruit wrong, train wrong, police wrong.
Now over $136,000. That $20,000 in the last hour.
He’s the guy I want on the force in my area, his counterparts who don’t support him can count on zero support and much antipathy from us mere citizens
Apparently you have that “little tin god syndrome” as does way too many cops. Wearing a badge does not negate other people’s rights. Hope you’re not a cop. If you are, you shouldn’t be.
He would be a great sheriff somewhere.
Are you a believer in and supporter of the Blue Wall of Silence?
Freaking hero if you ask me. One of the brave guys who wouldn’t be a good nazi, arresting and harassing innocent people and the weaker.
Name one single childish thing he said. He spoke like a man and put himself on the line to do so.
You don't break the Blue Wall of Silence.
Is this worth a ping?
No, you have it backwards. All those officers he has been watching abusing peoples rights all across America have been slapping HIM in the face.
He is the cop. They are the punks.
Good question. I think it was when PD's started training everyone in the dept to be SWAT team members.
There's an entirely different mindset for SWAT vs street cops just like there is for SEAL's vs Infantry soldiers. To the layman they may look like they're doing the same thing but it's very different in reality and very different mindset; not to mention training level.
Could the OP or somebody give a synopsis please??
April 25, 1967.
An 18½ year-old raised his right hand to swear allegiance to the Constitution of the United States, in some form or fashion to defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic, and to obey all lawful orders from superior officers.
That oath had no expiration date, as best I can recall.
Seems as though the young feller in the video took the same, or a very similar oath
Oh yeah. Very much worth a ping!
