They are completely rude to the police, and the police will (for the most part) do their job with professionalism.
But I gotta say, I don’t really expect things to get much better. There is what I think is a general breakdown in respect for the law, and it starts at the top. We have 3 tiers of justice in America now; one for the poor, one for the rich, and one for the politically connected. We can’t expect the people to respect the job if the bosses and politicians don’t do the same. This is not really partisan, but sort of partisan... it is widespread just for example from the street where the poor are tired of being caught up in the war drugs (even non-drug involved citizens in drug infested areas are more likely to get tickets and infractions due to heavier policing in their areas; and even those who commit crimes know they will get a whole book of charges dropped on them just to coerce a plea bargain); to the middle class who resent seeing things like homeless defecate in the street (which is a crime 3x over - polluting the water system and spreading disease), tolerance of open drug use, and even taxpayer benefits flowing to illegal immigrants; to the better off who know that there is a game being played. If the FBI can frame the POTUS, if the Sec of State can be corrupt, if the cities and states openly flaunt the law wrt illegal immigrants and even vote to give them money, sanctuary etc... what is the average person on the street supposed to think about the system?
As the Asian idiom goes, the fish stinks from the head down. Most cops do an incredible job for the people for ridiculously low pay. They have an almost impossible task - we ask them to do too much imo - but the truth is we ask even them to enforce some laws and ignore other laws at the same time. So how can we really expect the average citizen to hold LEO in the highest of esteem? It’s not the fault of the cop on the beat and people should be respectful and polite but that’s not the way of the world right now. The way of the world is to call people names and harass those with whom you disagree - from the baker who won’t make the cake you want to the commander in chief.
Poor black culture is evil.
Yes! a Banana Republic. And the people feel powerless to halt the progression to a ruling class and us serfs.
You make some good points but may I mention that the Chinese saying is that a fish rots from the head first, and secondly have you looked at the pay scale and retirement package for law enforcement officers? They are highly paid to work with human debris, they volunteered for it.
And thirdly, and I take flak from some of grizzly FReepers every time I mention this, the policing model they use is all wrong. They are looked at, and act as, an invading force. Until that changes these events will happen. There is evil in our world, and we are seeing the affect on our lives of evil men and women in elected and appointed positions.
*sigh* Entirely too true.
Sam Fancis further argued that "Anarcho-tyranny is entirely deliberate, a calculated transformation of the function of the state from one committed to protecting the law-abiding citizenry to a state that treats the law-abiding citizen as, at best, a social pathology and, at worst, an enemy."
I can assure you cops in Cal big cities including Sacto are not receiving “ridiculously low pay.” And they have the best retirement pension in the country starting at age 50.
