Oh I do remember the threads on the “dehumanizing stares” assault.
But after all - if anyone deserves a beat-down by the po-leece, its someone who would give them .... “dehumanizing stares”.
/s
When police suspect every one is a danger, no one gives them respect and appreciation.
Its dangerous work but not every incident needs to be resolved with handcuffs and a billy club. Police officers who think people must be carted off to jail are a greater threat to society than the society they’re sworn to protect.
Police are supposed to protect life and freedom and not to deprive people of it unless they’re committed a crime that endangers others. But too many in police work have forgotten they’re servants rather than taskmasters with shields and clubs.
Piece of cr@p charge by the piece of cr@p cops.
But in our own communities, we know where they live...
AMEN!
They are revenue collectors now. It’s so obvious.
There’s way more money in catching granny with a radar gun going 6mph over the speed limit. Automatic cha-ching.
Has anyone noticed the disconnect between the comments on threads of this type, and those on the Ferguson threads?
There seems to be a general assumption that the officer in Ferguson was fully justified in shooting Mr. Brown, who at least according to some accounts may have simply refused to obey a police order quickly enough.
I don’t know what really happened in Ferguson, and neither does anybody else posting to this forum. I just find it odd that the cases described above are taken as evidence that the cops are out of control, but the cop in Ferguson is given much more the benefit of the doubt.
I also sometimes wonder if the “police brutality” complained of by black people for decades, but generally dismissed by many of us, may just be moving out of the ghetto into Main Street.
IOW, might they have had a point all along?
My personal interactions with cops have been few, but with one exception very professional, even the one where they almost blew my head off by mistake.
I can live without them. I encourage others to do the same.
Protect yourself, your and if necessary, join with your neighbors to protect the neighborhood.
It’s much easier to arrest and harass innocent White citizens. There are no marches and you don’t have to watch the fake “reverends” condemning you on national TV.
The arrest numbers go up just the same, and the cops don’t have to put up with the “civil rights” screaming.
This situation has been getting worse over the last 40 years or so. No one questions that police work is dangerous and necessary but the division between ordinary citizens and police has been deepening with no sign of ever improving.
I never disobey authority, I never break laws but every time I see the police I watch what they’re doing and stay clear of them - exactly as I would when I see a pack of “youths” or any other potentially dangerous situation. We have armed them like combat troops and they have migrated their tactics to placing their own security as their primary objective.
It’s a recipe for disaster when we need effective police more than ever before.
“For example, police arrested Chaumtoli Huq because she failed to promptly comply when ordered to “move along” while waiting outside a Ruby Tuesday’s restaurant for her children, who were inside with their father, using the bathroom. NYPD officers grabbed Huq, a lawyer with the New York City Public Advocate’s office, flipped her around, pressed her against a wall, handcuffed her, searched her purse, arrested her, and told her to “shut up” when she cried out for help, before detaining her for nine hours. Huq was charged with obstructing governmental administration, resisting arrest and -—”
This gal is saying her race and religion(Islam)were a factor.
.
the first did step would be to take away all of the MRAP heavy armored vehicles all magazines over 10 rounds, and no more assault weapons in the vehicles.
the reason is to enhance public safety.
when we give them gear like this it is inevitable that they’re going to be using it, much as an actor can only fully get into a role only after putting on the costume .
I’m very law and order but it is getting more and more clear that numerous police officers have SEAL Team six fantasies dancing in their minds.
Nothing will ever change until how lawsuits get paid out by the cities who employ morons or thugs who get successfully sued.
The city just raises taxes on the producers/taxpayers and oh well, life goes on.
IF, IF, the fuzz can charge you with a felony that sticks, you no longer can own a firearm or vote. I would like to suggest, IMHO, that that is part of this new police state agenda. A subtle way to disarm the public...
I'm OK if the Sovereign pays for the defense attorneys.
But the cop has to pay the price of lawlessness.
Personally.
“Personally I detest the police and endeavor to defund their tyranny at every opportunity.”
It is difficult to defund them when they issue traffic citations of $300 or more for going 5 MPH over the limit.
If there was automatic jail time instead of citations then how many citations would be written? ZERO!
Add tasers to that list, too. All paramilitary gear including the PASGT helmets and camouflage uniforms (WTH are those for anyway?) should be turned in to the state police.
Returning police to the haircut and uniform standards of the 1970s with peaked caps should help dispel their self-image as "GI Joe".
Get on the ball and elect a pro-2nd Amendment, constitutional sheriff in your county. I have one. He’s run two appointed police chiefs out of town who overstepped their authority. He’s also informed the state police commander of the district that one state trooper who harassed citizens is not allowed in the county.
In addition, he has a good number of armed citizens who can be called out and deputized as auxiliary deputies in case of an “emergency.”
You can no longer LEGALLY own a firearm. That doesn’t mean you won’t own a firearm or two or three or——
