You don't even want to know what my husband person would say about this (he's a retired cop, BTW). But I will tell you this, all the facts need to be aired and the chips need to fall where they may.
A few years ago I was called in for jury duty. When the judge asked me what I thought about the police, I stated some bad things ending with "....they're a bunch of pussies hiding behind their badges." The judge released me from jury duty.
I could tell you stories about my interactions with the police that would make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. There are some who are absolutely terrible and probably belong behind bars. But there are some really good cops too. The problem is separating the bad ones out before we give them guns.
I got to go along with you on that one relative to the police state. I have actually seen police here in Virginia dressed in military fatigues. Spooky to say the least! But as "Anonymous" said, "But there are some really good cope too."
There are some good cops, but if they turn their head and allow the bad cops to continue, that makes them bad cops. I think they call that a conundrum.
Crap! That's scary. I am curious to learn what the cop's version is.
ReplyDeleteI think a soon to be ex cop might be on the inside looking out when this is over.
ReplyDeleteHardnox,
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure the cop's version will be a lie. I am so disgusted with the character of our lawmen. Honor and integrity seem to be completely absent.

The arrival of the police state is here.
ReplyDeleteThe guy on "Preppers" was declared mentally incompetent and his guns SEIZED the other day. More proof that the government is out to disarm us.

Well it's either a conundrum or its dereliction of duty. And yes, there are many mighty fine cops out there still.
