All the instantly anti-law enforcement crowd here on FR complained about the initial response. Now when the police take the lauded libertarian-like preferred hands-off approach they also bitch & moan. I’m just curious what the anti-law enforcement contingent of FR thinks is the right answer? Because at this point all I hear is hypocritical armchair quarterbacking.
Militarization of the police is one thing and wrong. Essentially you have given obama his internal army for control. Is there any doubt in any one’s mind what the police response would be if these were conservative tea party people protesting and rioting?
Law and order is another. You can keep law and order without being roger ram jet commando wannabe’s with M1 tanks and commando raids in small town USA for in some cases simple warrants, that 10 yrs. ago a black and white would have knocked on the door and served. Follow the Constitution and you will be fine as a peace officer. You either protect and serve all of none us.
” Because at this point all I hear is hypocritical armchair quarterbacking.”
The anti-cop crowd is very good at that.
Big,brave guys(and it’s mostly guys) banging away at the keyboard and criticizing the “jackbooted thugs” that face the slime day after day.
