“I no longer feel protected, and certainly not served — by anyone and anything having to do with government. I suspect many conservatives, though not all, agree.”””
I agree. And, for that I’m called a cop hater on FR.
Yeah, but those throwing around the absurd “cop hater” label were really just a few making a lot of postings.
I support good cops. I just realize that now there are so many bad cops, and they are now an arm of an out of control government state. To deny that is to be living under delusion.
I’m sure they’ll be by on this thread shortly……..
The title of “cop-hater” is only reserved for those esteemed (closet) liberaltarians whom chomp at the bit to label all US police as “stormtroopers” & “gestapo” etc.
So far there seems to be quite a few liberaltarians on Freerepublic now.
To that I would reply with this:
If the cop in question is the kind who wears a balaclava, kicks in doors, supresses media reporting, threatens and arrests those who record him on audio or video, shoots dogs unnecessarily, will not identify himself during police operations, and does not follow due process, then yes.
Under those conditions, absolutely I am a cop hater.
By an ever shrinking portion of posters.
More folks are waking up to the danger of the standing army in our midsts.
