It’s time to stop being useful idiots for the totalitarian Left by giving the benefit of the doubt to local law enforcement. The local PDs are being militarized, and increasingly federalized. The move of local LEOs to the Left parallels previous movements of the educational and government establishments (including Federal law enforcement) to the Left.
If you’re a conservative and can’t see this coming, you’re just deluding yourself.

You took the words out of my mouth. All I have to go on to gauge the methods of our police is my personal interactions with them. I have never been arrested, and it’s been twenty years or more since I was even stopped for a traffic violation. That said, the few times I have interacted with our local police (including filing a legitimate complaint against one of our cops for a clear violation of several traffic laws) I have found that it is indeed an “us vs them” mentality, coupled with a “we cover our a$$ policy” when it comes to clear violations of the very laws they are sworn to uphold. And I have had that conversation directly with our police chief when I had to go to our Town Council to force him to deal with my complaint. They are not your friends. Then don’t care about you. They are not there to “serve you.” If you don’t get that, I feel sorry for you. Usually, their arrival does not work to your advantage.
