Yeah, but those throwing around the absurd “cop hater” label were really just a few making a lot of postings.

I support good cops. I just realize that now there are so many bad cops, and they are now an arm of an out of control government state. To deny that is to be living under delusion.

I’m sure they’ll be by on this thread shortly……..

Meant to say well written article, too.

Cops today are part of a bureaucracy. Very few will fight it or go against it. Many have come to embrace it. They started with the unions and now the police unions are in league with management. The public is no longer invited to the negotiating table.

I have gotten to the point where I do not trust ANY gov’t functionary. Period.

The issue is complicated - there are plenty of decent men & women who've chosen paw enforcement as a career - however the trend is immistakable.

But as they say, a fish rots from the head.

And, unfortunately, it is the America voter who has initiated the rot through complacency, apathy and greed. Look who we've put in charge.

This is where it has to get turned around.
