Anyone who knows any Cops knows that most of them don't do allot of thinking.
Tell you what, it doesn't take much to call in sick for a few days. You wouldn't get me to stand up to people coming to save a life.
This situation has turned reality on it's head.
sooooo true.
Cops are not known for brains.
(dare I say little better than ketchup keepers.)
Local cops tend to do whatever the county bosses want. if they rock the boat, they tend to find that they get passed over for promotions, for instance. I know one cop who blew the whistle on corruption. When it came time to take the test to become sergeant, he got the third highest score. The response from the Powers was to change the quota so only two people would be promoted that year.
If this judge is connected, the local cops will do whatever he says, regardless. The judge's friends can make life hell for them if they disobey.
If true, this suggests that Jeb did more than we know.
That the social-services people, presumably on his direct or indirect order or signal, were about to move Terri even without a court order -- that Jeb was willing to confront the police with opposition from these government agents.
It's only fair to admit that he should not have ordered unarmed social workers to resist armed police, in the event that the police, as they did, insisted on a court ruling
before letting them through.
If I'm wrong about my deductions here, someone please tell me. This story strikes me as an extremely important part of the larger story.
I know two cops very well: my sons. They both went to college, one served in the Army, and both know how to spell "a lot."
And they could likely handle situations that would cause you to piss in your pants.
