The knowing that the people with no stake will not be punished and we'll have to endure this shit again next perceived slight against the moochers...
The more times it happens the less likely the people who're vested in the ownership of the nation are going to follow the rules and call the cops.
We're skidding hard for the moment when the rioters are not threatened with guns, but are fired upon without regard.
The only thing keeping those safeties on is the surety that they will be arrested for murder of the rioters.
The moment approaches where the people with the guns defending their property from rioters decide that anyone not helping them is also a foe. Police that come to arrest them for defending themselves from rioters will also receive a fusillade.
It will be tragic, it will be bad, but it will not be unjust.
In too many places the cops have ceased to be what the citizens think cops should be, and for too long.
It's called a reckoning.
to serve and protect died a long time ago. peace officer became law enforcement officer which has become gestapo, enforcing only what laws the crooks in the big house tells them to. much of this is paid agitators, protected by the dems to keep the post covid19 economy from taking off.
ReplyDeleteCops are only responsible for maintaining general order. They have no duty to "preserve and protect". They have failed miserably in their primary duty and, yes, they are cowards. Heroes? Bulls&%t!
ReplyDelete"[T]he cops have ceased to be what the citizens think cops should be..." is the money quote.
DeleteCitizens think that cops SHOULD have a duty to preserve and protect something besides their own worthless skins.
I'd be a lot more pro-cop if the Peeler ideals were not an exception.
Cops are supposed to be the thin blue line between chaos and civilization.
ReplyDeleteWhen it became more important to make it home safe at the end of the shift than to stop evil and enforce constitutionally legal laws, the police stopped being useful.
Justifying using SWAT for misdemeanor warrant service 'to keep in practice' is ridiculous. Do I think SWAT needs uparmored vehicles and heavy weapons? Yes. But not on a friggin misdemeanor traffic warrant with no history of criminal behavior.
And.. that whole 'illegal or immoral law' thing? They are supposed to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. All of it. Not just part of it, or a twisted interpretation of it.
So. No more 'Hate Speech.' No arresting someone for burning a gay-pride flag or a Mexican flag or a BLM flag and not arresting them for burning the US Flag. No more 'it's hateful to say bad things about blacks' but 'its not hateful to say bad things about whites.'
No more 'protective seizures of weapons' for the children. Either it Shall not be, or it isn't.
Same with 'No Knock' warrants. No. Those are patently illegal orders also. Either announce or don't go in.
Tired of this garbage. Want my country back.

I would like to think when this moment happens, the cops will have changed their mindset and joined the regular people defending their homes, but that's probably a wrong thought to have, because they are conditioned to be in control, and there is no controlling the future, there is only planning for the various possibilities of what it may be.
