You are being a bit arrogant and other things that I will not discuss! Not sure why but I have not been that outrageous except to post two comments in a row - is that verboten?
I always seem to think of things to say well after the fact, my slow mind probably...
Just what is your real problem?
Maybe I should ask what YOUR real problem is! Not everybody is hopping on your discussion partner. Like you are assuming about me. If you want a long, sensitive, PRIVATE discussion then take it to freepmail. Otherwise what you say is open to be anybody’s springboard at all for any reason. If I whined every time someone used a remark of mine as a springboard, I should have more whine than my local liquor emporium.
Wow, I have no problem if others don’t agree with me. I will still state my opinion, why is that a problem that needs to be taken privately? Really confused!
That occurs and should occur all the time, why the problem?
Or if you must be picky, SHORT sensitive... which is even more ludicrous to complain about being used as a springboard because it is so brief (someone might pick up on a long conversation).
Touchy touchy touchy.
So why are you taking what I say as anything more than an opine on an issue, roughly in concordance with what was written?
You are acting as if I butted into some private conversation at a party.
Maybe you need to realize that FR etiquette is rarely if ever that way.
And you also need to stop being full of your blankety blank self.
Wow, sounds like a race problem... don’t talk about it like about police problems...geez, are you that daft? I’m sorry, buy you sound absolutely silly!
Openness is the best way to explore problems of police activities and racial activities you know... Seems that you missed the boat though...
...When liberalism fails, it’s the cop who gets the call. And when he does get the call, it’s the liberals who will be the first to call for his head...
...It’s not enough that the cop has to clean up for the welfare state. He also has to be its scapegoat…
/article quotes
Never let a crisis go to waste. Dead cops, dead citizens. A means to an end. The calls for more “gun control” by the liberals/progressives/totalitarians marching in lockstep…2 steps FORWARD…
The totalitarians tap dancing on graves. The marxist agenda powers forward. Deceit, debt, death. The calling cards are left in its wake.
Very good article. Thanks for posting.
“So why are you taking what I say as anything more than an opine on an issue, roughly in concordance with what was.”
Yes, you interfered with a conversation that you had nothing to contribute to...
“You are acting as if I butted into some private conversation at a party.”
Well, I am a private party and expressing my opinion! Why is that a problem. Yes, I know it is viewed by many others.
That’s okay if others read my comments.
“Maybe you need to realize that FR etiquette is rarely if ever that way.”
Maybe you need to educate me on FR etquette? I probably need some of that...
“And you also need to stop being full of your blankety blank self.”
Yes, that does seem to be a problem as I age...
Law enforcement people are doing their job. Certainly there are good and there a bad workers in every occupation but that does not give anyone the right to kill them for doing so. If you have a disagreement with them, take it to court, not try to get revenge in the streets.
I fear for ALL law enforcement across this nation. NY does not have a monopoly on cops with targets on their back.
My family is FULL of law enforcement officers and I fear for every one of them, day and night. Please pray for their safety.

I say let the ghetto black communities fend for themselves. They clearly don’t want the help and want to live in a crime ridden hell hole.
Ping to the Knish list.
Thank you smoothsailing for the heads up.
First off, thanks to Smooth and Louis for the article and the ping. As always, it’s good stuff.
I am of two torn minds regarding the civilian police.
First, I am not blind at all to the increasing ferocity and violence of police responses since the Leftist takeover in 2008; only a fool or a Leftist (but that’s a tautology) would deny it.
We see almost daily reporting here on FR and social media of police abusing their authority, reveling in their new powers and tacticool gear bestowed upon them by a generous Federal government.
The laws of the land are being re-written in realtime at the Federal and state levels to make more criminals (remember Ayn Rand’s prescient statement?) And to enforce those laws, more and more police are being weaponized into something they should not be.
Recall the SCOTUS and their famous ruling? The job of the police is NOT to protect and serve - it’s to enforce the law. We haven’t forgotten.
And yes, police burn people out - remember Waco? Remember the epic chase of Dorner in Cali? And how many people are being “swatted” and harassed for little more reason than being anti-Obama?
Now, the second part (directed to Prosouth and Doc):
When you are starting a shift, whose commands and patrols are you doing, and where do those orders come from - the CoP and the watch officer, or the union shop steward? In the major cities, police corruption has been a generational problem, with the uniforms doing the bidding of others.
We see in Noo Yawk just now, where the NYPD is waking up to the fact that the Mayor and his boyfriends on the Left are all too willing to throw the beat cops to the lions to score political points. And now the PBA is calling for a work slowdown, and publicly mocking Hizzoner.
Hopefully, the police unions will realize they’ve been nothing but useful tools all along - and when the left is done with a tool, they drop it.
As I’ve said on others threads, my heart goes out to the remaining good cops out there who are trying hard to keep going in the face of mounting terror. Trying to deny there are bad cops is disingenuous at best; there are bullies with badges who will eagerly and ruthlessly enforce the law (not serve the citizenry).
But isn’t this what the Leftists want?? Divided loyalties? Suspicion? Doubt and mistrust? The only thing keeping the lid on the cities (more specifically, the urban kraals) is that thin blue line. And when the Leftists stage events like Ferguson and Noo Yawk and Sandy Hook, remember that everything is about The Agenda.
Most of the beat cops are useful to them. For now.
Once Again, Dan Nails it!
Great read...
The police officer is the handyman of the welfare state. His job is to put his life on the line to plug the social leaks that the sociologists, consultants and social planners who made this mess had not foreseen.
Don't bother trying to reason with likes of "doc". They, like Obama's supporters, equate ANY criticism no matter its bona fides, to "hating".
Like Obama's supporters they try to paint with such a broad brush in order to silence critics.
De Blasio worked on Hillary's Senate campaign.
PAYBACK Bill swears in the new Mayor. Hillary was sitting nearby.
The Clintons milk the Progressive cop-hater vote.
Thank you for serving. Stay safe.
