Used to be the right would go to bat for the police no matter what. I just can’t do it anymore. I don’t know if this State Trooper ever did anything wrong but there is a problem in Pennsylvannia. 150 cops arrested since ‘94? Betcha that’s the tip of the iceberg.
Yes sir ...I felt uncomfortable typing my post. But as I grow older (now 52) I see to much fiscal abuse and unprofessionalism by the police forces that we have. By no means am I anti-police , it is a job I would not do as I would not have the self restraint that the majority of the police agencies show. With that being stated I personally have (in the past)dealt with the legal system and see it as more of a an open ended revenue stream and in my area of the country the illegal aliens who commit blatant vicious crimes are not prosecuted with the same tenacity as a citizen who has everything to lose....guess there is no profit in dealing with someone who can apparently just up and leave the area and return at a later date unscathed by a court order initiated by the initial arrest. I see it as a catch 22 ...ones wallet can be drained easily when dealing with the police and I am far from rich....a quagmire for sure but we need them for our society to function ...still I hope the slain officers family endures and even if the man was not on the up and up I doubt it will make the news. I hate thinking this way but the shooting seems well thought out and not a knee jerk reaction to an isolated incident.
