I no longer blindly “back the blue”. I’ve seen so many willing to totally violate rights on behalf of governors’ orders.
I also no longer trust them to NOT take our guns should a governor give an illegal order.
I no longer blindly “ back the blue”.
100% correct. That theory that 99% of cops and FBI agents(Hannity!) are reliable regarding American constitutional values has been blown apart or exposed, if you will, during the pandemic and the attack on the 2016 election and Donald Trump.
What most of us here think of as “good cops” is probably in the neighborhood of 20-30%…just my observations.
Just following orders ..
Growing up I was taught to always respect police officers and I did until one day I was at an abortion clinic protest and I was walking between a police officer and the fender of a police car and then for no reason at all the officer hip checked me into the car, basically giving me a charlie horse when my thigh struck the corner of the bumper. Why? Just because he could.
For all I knew it could have just been one bad cop among all the 99.9999% of good cops (and I know a lot of good cops). But from then on I realized you can't just assume you have to try to distinguish between the bad and the good, just like in every other profession.
The cops in this video? They probably pulled that sh*t on girls and weaker boys in their high school class and got disciplined, so now they go on to get jobs where they are the discipline.
Felt this way for a long time. They will just hide behind the, "But I was just following orders." tagline. One positive thing about this Covid fiasco is there are a lot of people that have shown their true colors. From law enforcement, to people willing to turn in their neighbors, to just plain sheep; they have made themselves known.
I no longer blindly “back the blue”.
Heck, I’m sure there is even the “Prostitute with a good heart.” Drug dealers may be all bad, though. But few started out that way. ;)
In the meantime they let out real, hardened criminals.
This country is crazy.

Up until I was 14 I supported police like most normal people would. Then my parents got into meth. Yes, they were absolutely wrong.
But their habit gave the police license to abuse us and that meant I was stopped, searched, cuffed, and fondled on a regular basis. It also meant getting used to warrantless police raids in the early hours, having the apartment upended, and again being searched, cuffed, and fondled.
When I married and left California behind I didn’t miss it.
But then one morning at our ranch in Cody, Wyoming I wake up to what? Two armed California tax agents at our front door threatening one of the other women who lived here at the time. One of them kept reaching for his gun.
I called our sheriff’s department and while they were on the way I had my Remington SPS .308 chambered, safety off, my finger ON the trigger, and aimed at the head of the mouthy creep with the itchy trigger finger.
Had that pistol cleared the holster I was going to ventilate his skull.
God bless our Park County Sheriff’s because when they showed up the California bastards had their badges and guns seized and they were told in no uncertain terms never to come back. They haven’t.
Speaking for myself I’ve had enough of abusive thugs with badges and I will not tolerate it.
And you know what REALLY sours you on bad cops and makes you want them hung by the neck until dead for being vermin with badges?
GOOD COPS.
Nothing in the world makes you hate bad cops more than meeting good cops who really believe in what they do and who really believe in their oath to defend and protect the Constitution instead of violating it with utmost contempt.
And then it is no surprise when the good cops get fired by the bad cops for calling out the bad cops as the enemies of freedom that they are.
