While I 100% would oppose this, I can see how we got to this point. If the police aren't going to enforce the law and if the courts don't sentence everybody evenly then it's not surprising people will reach your conclusion.
We need more law and order that is equally enforced across the board. The anti cop people both on the right (including a few here on the FR) are idiots.
That should read : The anti cop people on both the left and the right (including a few here on the FR) are idiots.
I grew up in Brooklyn. Every neighborhood needs a godfather.
My only interaction with the police over the years is traffic tickets, an unjustified search in which they drew blood, and other hassles. I have never seen them patrol my neighborhood, where my main house is, or where my weekend getaway is. I have seen them frequently on TV standing around doing nothing while rioters burn police cars (NYC) or police stations (Seattle). I know part of it is due to orders from liberal mayors or DAs, but the only logical conclusion is that the police serve no purpose. None at all.
“While I 100% would oppose this, I can see how we got to this point.”
Isn’t that what militias are for? To protect against the tyranny of government? Since government has fomented this hatred, as citizens we should have the right to have a well armed militia to fight against government tyranny.
Just sayin.
