Police are the strong arm agents of government and the wealthy ruling class. To do the dirty work, they themselves are to cowardly to do themselves. Imposing your will on others, takes an army to force compliance, of those that do not consent. Liberty and forced compliance and not compatible.
Those that are hired guns for the wealthy corporate, are not held to the same accountability as an elected Sheriff is.
Police are not there to protect and serve any longer. They are there to harass and abuse and clean up the mess they create. Every bully in school, became LE of some sort.
This is not rooted anywhere in fact.
All of the officers I know are upstanding people who truly have a calling to help others. They're not imposing their will on anyone. They are upholding the laws. Don't like a law? Fine. But until you work towards changing it, you're accountable for upholding it.
Some bullies did become LEO's, but does that mean they all did? Absolutely not. This weekend two officers bought a bicycle for a young boy whose parents couldn't afford one because he was scammed into buying a stolen bike. They didn't have to do ANY of that.... but they did, out of the kindness of their hearts and their desire to serve the public. They possibly could have made up some story about receiving stolen property and gotten the family into trouble but were able to make the decision that they knew nothing about it and instead, helped that family. I see countless LEO's dropping off food and supplies to the local homeless community (we have a sort of camp underneath an overpass) every week just to help them get by. All do it out of their pockets, and never once ask for anything in return. Their desire to bring goodwill is sometimes staggering.
That is one instance of MANY that go unnoticed because too many are concerned with where the next bad apple may come from. When you only look for evil, evil you shall find. You need to learn that the entire world isn't out to get us. There are bad people who have every intention of harming us, both here and abroad. And we need to remain vigilant of them. But you cannot lump everyone into that category. We're all humans capable of thinking for ourselves. Just because someone puts on a uniform doesn't mean they are automatically brainwashed to follow what "the man" tells them. They still know right from wrong. And a bad person is a bad person with or without a uniform.
well, like I said, it is okay that you don't need police officers. Most of us don't even know how much we need them until it is too late.
Maybe I will never really "need" a police officer, but I still understand that they are just regular people just like myself. Who do I think I am to judge them based on their career choices?
That is the bottom line. I don't know where you are from, well, I was born in Oklahoma city, and I grew up in Newport Beach, california. Police officers are welcomed and respected.
My brother has a bbq restaurant run by veterans. If police officers came to our restaurant to eat, that would be our lucky day. They are very funny people, actually! Try talk to one, sometimes. They are not as intimidating as you think they are.
The 2nd Amendment is very scary and intended to be even scarier for government.
It wasn't created to go hunting to eat. It was created to hunt tyrants and all agents of tyrants.
Pick your battles wisely as a human. It could be the last.
Watch your back!
Funny, coming from a white redneck, sticking up for the black community, eh?
stereotype that!
Or whites can stop acting as if they're above the law. Black people can obey the law and still end up with bogus charges.
And BLM types can stop trying to perpetuate the myth that that is the rule instead of the exception.
Does it happen? Sure.
But it's hardly the norm, nor is it at the "epidemic" proportions that is being implied.
It's a simple matter of the entire population suddenly having a video camera in their pocket and the media jumping to conclusions and hyping every incident before the facts are in so as to boost ratings and advance the Liberal "perpetual victim" mentality and entitlement agenda.

What are you trying to say? what point are you trying to make?
i don't know any police officers who are against 2nd amendment. LOL Just stop it already.
Atlanta to Austin. 15 hours, when the speed limit was 55mph and I was dragging my box trailer.
Things to do, places to be.
Now with the speed limit 75 that is normal.
Oh..ok..you should be able to speed because it's inconvenient for you to obey the law because you are somehow special....got that..
Btw towing a trailer has additional speed restrictions depending upon the state..but most states mirror each other..
..bottom line..live a unsullied life..do not attract attention..you will never meet a policeman...which is good civic duty...and reduces the need for officers. Which reduces the need for government intervention in anyone's life...
A win win... And exactly what you always best about

No, that is my liberty. There is always a time and place to argue the facts.

No one likes to watch their back.

Its not illegal until you get caught.
It is important to discuss the need for them to be educated, carefully selected, well-trained, controlled in their use of force, honest in their actions, courteous and respectful in their demeanor, compassionate, and closely in touch with the communities they serve.
Serving as a police officer also requires courage – both physical and moral. In many instances, the latter trait is more difficult than the former.
I've seen with my own eyes how courageous these police officers are. I am not saying my experience is yours, but you really need to be fair and balanced. this whole "watch their back" thing is scary to say the least.
That is a good story for the campfire, but unless we are both there to see for ourselves, statistics are being more comprehensive and the truth of the matter at hand.
Are we seeing the symptoms? Or are we witnessing the cause?
A badge, has become the flag of the enemy to the people in the Police State, government has created. Killing unarmed humans, is murder. Killing an armed human, is war.
Just the whack job language used tells me such a person is clueless about their community..and since this is about personal responsibility for one's actions care to share how someone with your beliefs actually improve their community...your language is stale. Cliche and mostly false
Your thinking is divisive and simplistic
Do you subscribe perhaps to communism or socialism? Do you see yourself as a social justice warrior.? As you even a person of color... Don't share if you don't want to but it would be good context as to your misguided statements and would provide context for the rest of us...
So..just how would you improve your community and the oppressive government you rail against?
Do you use any government services you approve of?...and pay into?
Makes my point perfectly...
Pick your battles wisely as a human. It could be the last.
I will never shoot my brother just because of the profession he chose. And if you shoot my brother, it could be your last shot.
