“Why is it, that active and retired law enforcement officers/agents/corrections, are the only ones given special treatment and exempted with regards to gun legislation? “
Easy Answer:
The vast majority of “Law Enforcement Officers” in this Country have been conditioned to respond to Politicians and their Unions, and the people be damned. For the most part they will Violate the Law and any Citizen’s right when ordered to regardless of whether it is right or wrong, criminal or not, we Know they will do this because they are not even Qualified to negotiate their own salary or benefits, let alone Stand on their own when they see wrongdoing. They are Puppets of the Politicians that bark out their orders, they act with reckless disregard for the basic freedoms and liberties of the Citizens they are Hired to TAX. This was different 40 or so years ago when they were “Peace Officers” charged with keeping the peace, that is when I had respect for the Police, but since the early 70’s it has gone downhill fast, as far as I am concerned I have more faith and trust in the average Gang Member to be Honest and Truthful. Now I realize this is a General statement but I believe it holds true for 95% of the “Law Enforcement Officers” in this Country, maybe you are the exception, but then again maybe not.
Let us not forget what happens in virtually every Police Department across the country when one of their own is caught dead to rights being an out and CRIMINAl, the entire force backs them up and makes excuses for them, the Politicians and DA’s then do their part by allowing them to resign with FULL PENSION, further cementing their psychological hold on the very lives of the Officers under them.
Just look at the 2 most recent cases of Murder by a Police officer, Fullerton,Ca. Kelly Thomas case, the ENTIRE dept and the politicians stood behind them and still do to this day after at least 4 rogue thugs BEAT HIM TO DEATH. The DA saw fit to charge only 2 of them so far, completely disregarding the Felony Murder Rule, and Did not charge either with MURDER, Instead a version of Manslaughter, they ALL SHOULD CHARGED. Next Long Beach, CA. Doug Zirby, He was drunk, sitting in an “ENCLOSED” courtyard NOT VISIBLE to the Public, when an old blind man in an upstairs unit next door called 911 and said it “looks like he has a six shooter”, The Police showed up, sneaked into neighboring yards and took COVER then without warning or notice, never even bothering to make contact, they EXECUTED HIM IN COLD BLOOD while in FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES while hiding in the Bushes, from a Man holding a garden hose that was drunk and had NO IDEA THEY WERE THERE, even if he Had a Gun in his Hand, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN VIOLATING NO LAWS, It is Perfectly Legal to Have a firearm on Private Property. THe ENTIRE Long Beach Police Dept still to this day, Stand Behind these Murderers, as well as the Political Ruling Class. Hell the DA Steve Cooley, even said the Police Have the Right to EXECUTE anyone they fear without recourse, regardless if the Fear is real or made up after the fact. I suppose we could talk about New Orleans after hurricane Katrina when the “Law Enforcement Officers” began Shooting Unarmed Citizens for no reason, and of Course The Entire dept is still on their side.
So the answer is simple YOU WILL DO THEIR BIDDING FOR YOUR OWN SELF INTEREST AND SURVIVAL WITHOUT QUESTION, Just like the SS and the Gestapo. It is and has been demonstrated on a regular basis for quite some time now. “Law Enforcement Officers” are by definition MORALLY BANKRUPT and will NEVER HOLD THEMSELVES OR THEIR FELLOW OFFICeRS to the SAME STANDARDS they are CHARGED WITH ENFORCING on the TAXPAYERS BY THEIR MASTERS.
Hear, hear!
YOU WILL DO THEIR BIDDING FOR YOUR OWN SELF INTEREST AND SURVIVAL WITHOUT QUESTION
Don’t forget Katrina and the gun grab they had down there. I watch those videos and they make me sick to see and hear what went on down there.
and by the way, I won’t be doing anyones bidding.
I believe in this country and what it stands for, at least what it used to stand for.
I will keep my oath.
