“... this guy could have paid his child support. Or maintained his car....”
I was reading a statement from Freeper Mr. Jeeves from another thread dealing with this subject. It is poetic and wraps up how I feel...
“When we can’t even call a clear excess of state power what it is for fear that some sleazy character might use the example to get off, we have failed. The Left never loses sight of their organizing principle-Expand the State. Conservatism should be about conserving the radical spirit of Liberty laid down by the Founding Fathers.”
In short, go ahead and make lame excuses like “should have kept his car well maintained” or “shouldn’t have run”.. as a legal excuse to shoot someone in the back and kill them. Defend law enforcement no matter what the situation because they are supposed to be the “good” guys. The time may come when you, your kid, your parent... has a broken tail light. Or an unpaid ticket. Or driving when not wearing glasses or whatever else you find fault in. When I see injustice.. no matter the skin color/previous history/religion/etc... I see that I may be next or my kid or my loved one. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING can guarantee that I’m not the one pulled over.
Just my opinion, but I think you are confusing liberty with anarchy. If we can´t enforce the laws made by the people, then we have anarchy. That is, people do whatever they want, and the police, the servants of the LAW ABIDING people, have to stand by and watch for fear of being branded something or other by the MSM and their cheerleaders. I am not worried about the cops, have never felt the need to flee. That doesn´t make me a boot licker, it makes me a decent law abiding citizen. But hey, let the thugs run wild, just as long as it isn´t in my neighborhood, frankly I could care less anymore.
Cheers
