Tea party? Sh!t, people exercising their 2A rights get murdered every year by cops in the USA. But because it's the 2A, the cops are the bad guys @ FR. And all the police reports are lies that are in direct conflict with eye-witness accounts.
However, when it's misguided youth, stinky hippies, et al having their 1A rights violated, the cops are suddenly the good guys. Because, you know, the crowd didn't disperse when ordered @ 5am. So, when is it ok to peaceably assemble? Oh, it wasn't peaceable, because all the police reports are the truth that are in direct conflict with eye-witness accounts.
I must be tough to hold two opposing view points at the same time. That is, if they are sincere and not some sock puppets.
Cops are nothing more than the enforcement arm of the Nanny State and Big Brother Govt.
Most people grow out of the spoon fed bs about cops by the time they are adults, others don’t because they are related to cops or whatever.
There are some good cops, but most are public sector
mini-madoffs with the garbage they pull on the taxpayers who they are supposed to serve.
