The police in huge metro areas and even small towns are suppose to be hired to protect the population, but instead they are really there to generate revenues. Ruining lives along the way.
They end up protecting the rich elite ruling class and prey on the people for revenues.

It is no longer about finding those who stole, or those that harm others. It is who can we get today, to pay our salary.

You are WAY behind the curve. Here in Florida they have schemes to garner millions and even attempt to kill old people for their money.

Feds open probe of Bal Harbour police money laundering | Miami Herald

Sarasota sheriff's deputy charged with attempted murder - News - Sarasota Herald-Tribune - Sarasota, FL

If you think these are isolated cases, you are wrong. In Florida, we have a corrupt political system from top (Rick Scott) to the very bottom. It's all about money, sex and power...

Why would an arm of such a large semi-criminal organization (Florida Guv) be honest? My guess is that the honest cop in a lot of these towns is driven out of the system. What do you think the honest cops in Bal Harbor did when all their friends were illegally chasing drug dealers all over the country and taking their money and keeping it? Do you think they didn't know?

Best advice - stay away from LE. You can thank me later.

Civil forfeiture in the United States, also called civil asset forfeiture or civil judicial forfeiture[1] or occasionally civil seizure, is a controversial legal process in which law enforcement officers take assets from persons suspected of involvement with crime or illegal activity without necessarily charging the owners with wrongdoing

The drug war is the most corrupt revenue stream I can think of. If law enforcement had been this way back when alcohol prohibition was in force, we would still have illegal alcohol to this day, and it would be just another way to generate revenue and create criminals.

The worst part of this imo, is the collusion with drug cartels, in order to have a continuous drug war...they need a consistent supply of drugs coming in and reaching their destination.

Its been proven the CIA was involved in the drug trade back in the 70s and 80s, there is no reason they would not be involved today.

Its strange more people do not recognize this today, I see many people applauding law enforcement for their efforts against drugs, how can these people allow themselves to be duped like this?!!! LOL
