My dad was a career cop, police have changed. They now enforce mask bullies, violate rights, and arrest citizens not breaking the law. THE PROCESS IS THE PUNISHMENT. Yes this guy will be released, yeah in 3 years the lawsuit may finish for rights violation. I ask cops all the time now, did you enforce the shutdown mandates from the Governors? Did you tell people they had to wear a mask or leave public buildings? Would you do it now? And guess what the answers are! Yes, they will not think for themselves. Police that are good are gold, the rest are useful idiots or thugs in blue.
protecting the pensions ... they don’t get paid to think ...
Raised in a family of cops (father, mother, brother, cousins), I find your assessment to be spot-on correct.
Old-time cops were peace officers.
Today’s cops are law enforcement officers.
That’s a significant change, from peace to enforcement.
That’s more than just unfortunate. It’s a tragedy. Police are, of course, vital to society. And their job is getting more and more difficult each day. Yet many cops alienate law-abiding citizens with unnecessary rudeness and bullying. We are their allies. That too is getting more and more difficult.
