Well said!
As with any profession, there are always a few bad apples. Human nature.
I get so sick of the police haters here. Yesterday, I even saw a poster refer to the police as the “pigs”, which was the term used by radical hippies in the late 1960s and ‘70s.
Seems like another Alinsky goal has been reached if the populace starts attacking those who have sworn to protect us.
Ever since the Edward Snowden affair came to light, I can’t help thinking that there has been a deliberate campaign to make us doubt all of the intelligence community, to put us in a perpetual state of confusion and mistrust.
Of course, when the economy and society are in tatters, the dictatorship will be inevitable.
I swear sometimes I feel like I’ve wondered into DU.
“... a deliberate campaign to make us doubt all of the intelligence community, ...”
I am comfortable that the career professionals in the FBI, CIA and military intelligence remain untainted, however the other intelligence agencies as well as the appointed leaders of all intelligence agencies are mostly political provocateurs, IMO.
