Peace officers gone. NOW law enforcement officers. Massive mentality shift.
Civil asset forfeiture.
Don't talk to Police, Part 2, in which a police officer confirms everything the law professor said, and expands upon it to inform that the police are allowed and encouraged to lie.
You Have the Right to Remain Innocent, in which the same law professor (a few years later) explains how the situation has become worse.
Yup. Because we live in the real world, where most folks know that the best way to make a bad situation worse is to involve a cop.
When I joined FR, back in the dark ages, the overwhelming majority were of the "cops can do no wrong" bent. Over the years, this has gradually shifted as more and more people have been ground under the wheels of the enforcers of the oligarchy. It's been fascinating to watch, actually.
I think the one thing that has done the most damage to the image of the police is the shooting of inconvenient family pets.
I respect David Clarke specifically.
I do not respect police generally.
They are there to protect the state, not the people.
San Jose Convention Center. Hillary Clinton Email Investigation.
Where are the patriots? Hiding. Grumblng.
I am an ordained minister. I was called The Straight One (i.e., Straight Arrow) when young adult. Never drugged. Never drunk.
I learned the police are not our friends before age 30. I do not want any involvement with them. (No longer in mnistry.)
I shifted long before Al Gore invented the internet.
Yep. My grand theft auto filing was dismissed from any follow up as “joy ride” by the cop.
I knew a young man who was the lone non-cop in his family. He said dinner conversations were jovial recountings of all the ways they strong-armed citizens, and violated their civil rights, and got away with it. Brag fests.
He said he loved his family, but did not trust them.
Some are not.
But the cop culture is not a good one.
Far from the only thing, but yes, one of them.
The scum rises to the top - and the top sets the leftist policy.
Yes. They have incentive to violate personal rights.
