Current LE attitude is ‘you will do exactly what I say because I get to tell exactly what to do’. Then they zealously exercise that prerogative.

To me it’s an example of control issues. I think people with these types of issues are drawn to LE. That’s not to say all LE has this problem but enough do to draw attention to LE.

I said last night: Beware of conformational bias. Nobody posts stories about the cops who didn’t shoot the dog or the black teen. Not on FR, HP or Fox news. So what you read or see as news is but a microcosm of the worst of LE.

Here in Maryland the police roughed up and arrested citizens for filming their encounters. It was very scarey and way over the line, until the court stepped in and re-affirmed the public right to video/record the police in action. It is still not over because the police claim it "interferes" with their ability to enforce the law.

The police give no ground. Compromise is impossible. Reasonableness is out of the question. Thus, the police state marches on one inch at a time.

I made that mistake once. I posted a story about a local cop who was run over buy a couple of parolees who had robbed a bank and was informed that it was one less cop that would shoot someone's dog.

Its not just democrats who live by mob rule.
