This thread and conservatives concern in general with unnecessarily heavy-handed police action, is due to the fact that conservatives believe in freedom and fear a slide into a police state. And not coincidentally, these are part of the principles of the Founding Fathers behind our constitution -- fear and concern to avoid a tyrannical government.
While conservatives respect the law, laws are created "of by and for the people", per our Constitution;, and should not be used to unnecessarily detain, abuse, or relieve us of our money and property.
Conservatives respect individual freedom as outlined in the Constitution above the rights of the occasional rogue cop to run roughshod over us.
Nonsense. None of this is about the “occasional” rogue cop. There’s a clear hatred for cops in general. It couldn’t ~be~ more obvious. This thread is only one of hundreds over the years, and is still just getting started.
It doesn’t surprise me when lefties and hippies get all puffy-chested about “the man keepin’ me down, man...” but it does get a little curious when conservatives do it.
Like the alternative is what... to not have cops?
