I generally support cops. Most of us who are not active leftists do. That trait is being used against us. That is why I can no longer support articles like this one from William Lind.
Mr. Lind makes the claim that we should support the police, because they are “on our side.” I submit to you that the only side the police are on is the side that pays them their pensions. If that means they have to take your guns, so be it. They got their guns, and they get their pensions.
If that means they have to raid your business with an armored vehicle for daring to stay open, they will. If they have to arrest children while pepper spraying them in the face to keep their pension, they will.
If they need to arrest you for trespassing in your own business in order to prove who’s boss, they will.
I know what you are thinking- “Those stories are all cops from other states. I know the cops in my area. They would NEVER do that. The cops I know are good guys.” Just ask yourself- if the cops in your area were given an order, would they refuse to obey, even if it means being fired and losing their pension? I’m betting they would stomp you into the ground, if the choice were between doing that and having to lose their special police power. That is the essence of a police state. You can’t have a police state without police to enforce it.
Watch this video where a woman is arrested for not wearing a mask. No one is near her, other than family. There is no danger. The cop chose to cause and escalate this confrontation, even though there is NO benefit for requiring a mask in this situation (even if you believe masks work, there was no one near her) other than demanding compliance for the sake of compliance.
So, no. I don’t automatically support the cops. I don’t automatically hate them. However, I can clearly see a time coming where I won’t have that luxury. It will be time to choose.
That makes me sad.

This is why I’m baffled by the folks that fly a gadsden flag right next to a thin blue line flag…
Who do they think is going to be the “treading on” them when the time comes?

My brother-in-law is an addict and had serious brain damage. He is abusive Ave if his looks are moving he’s lying. My wife is there person that administers his social security payments.
If he gets his money in one payment he spends it all on drugs and us then begging for food a bit later.
So it is end of month, he’s out of money. He’s been screaming at wife for two days to give him money or to kite a check for him. She’s out in my truck with my daughter to do pickup some things for daughter. So she’s not answering b-i-l.
He feels they the right thing to do is to call in a “wellness check” on her.
I’m doing some programming, I’m expecting a package when I hear loud banging on the inside hall door. I look up and the outside hall for is open. I figure package dude needs a signature. I bee boop to the door and open it.
There is a cop in my face and his partner at the end of the hall.
“Get out of my house!”
I don’t think the cops expected that reaction. He felt that the sign on the outside hall door saying “leave packages inside this door” have him the right to come in.
A bit of loud words were exchange along with do you have a warrant? Then get out.
Seems that bil made a claim that wife might be unresponsive for some reason so the cop thinks he doesn’t need a warrant to come in.
That excuse ended when I showed up at the door.
I finally got them moved out of the house and onto the steps where we talked politely for a bit.
Cops prelabel everybody they meet. That one’s a perp, that one’s a victim, that one is going to cause trouble.
You have to break their loop in order to accomplish anything and in certain situations the loop can’t be broken as they don’t give anybody options.

That became even more clear to me in mid March when the town I live in decided to close its beaches. This is in a very red county in a very red state. I was with my wife and kids walking on the beach, too cold to get in the water, but comfortable walking in our bare feet. This was right after the lockdowns started. Our kids are small so we only walked about half a mile and turned around. We were pulling out of the parking lot when we saw a couple cops on 4 wheelers drive down onto the beach and start ordering people to leave. We only passed maybe a dozen people while walking, all either individuals or couples, and these cops were ordering them off the beach. Completely pointless, completely ridiculous. But they did as they were told. I have no doubt that if someone told them to F off and refused to leave, they’d have had no problem dragging them off the beach and giving them a good beating if they resisted.
I don’t hate or not hate them and try to treat each person as an individual but you are correct, they know who butters their bread, and it ain’t us.

To a cop, everyone is a criminal that has not been caught. And about that “only a few bad apples” tripe, every cop that covers for those bad apples is just as dirty.
Allen · February 12, 2021 at 1:30 pm
They always leave off the end of that proverb; a few bad apples spoil the bunch.
Phelps · February 12, 2021 at 10:38 am
Those good cops you think you know?
If you get sideways with a bad cop, they are going to take his side against you, 1000% of the time. Even the ones you know personally.
Still think they are good?
Hedge · February 12, 2021 at 11:00 am
I read his drivel yesterday too and had the same thoughts. As an ex cop and a FF/Paramedic I can most definitely say without a doubt that cops are by and large pieces of fucking shit on a power trip from hell.
In fact I will add it’s a gang. And when you get sideways with that gang the last words you will hear after placing your badge in the Chiefs hand are “you are no longer one of us”.
mrapp · February 12, 2021 at 11:29 am
If I may, I have simplified this for myself (and you if you like). The proof of NO good cops lies in the constant rhetoric that “there are just a few bad apples”.
OK , so if that were true then upon request by the people in the community (that would be US ,their bosses) those wonderful brave strong community loving, muscle bound , steroid gobbling combat vets would quite simply walk next door and tell the fuckers to get out before they end up in jail…..see how simple …come on…see it, the majority tells that little % age to shape up or ship out…..then ask yourself why this has not happened…..? because they love having the shinny badge and POWER over you……do as I say…just because….end of story…..they all lie, they will all fabricate evidence against you they will kill you for fun if they feel like it……and testify in court that you did ( fill in blank ) to get they and theirs off the hook……..simple………
The thin blue line has been created and reinforced for decades to favor them….the brain washed public fawns at the feet of these thugs and the families are SOooooo proud of all they do…because they are a protected class…that protects itself……jury’s are generally made up of the families of LEO’s and this never finds one guilty . BUT always finds you guilty.
How has this happened , simple… selective recruiting of low IQ friends of friends , generally from military service so they identify with each other as brothers and so no matter what they back each other insult lie and ridicule the innocent and justify it in the end by saying well fuck you look he’s guilty because after all the corrupt court FOUND HIM GUILTY !!!!!!!!! look at how many news stories tell of the police arriving on the scene called to help someone and ending up killing them by “mistake” . and never any consequences. ENOUGH !!!!!
Longbow · February 13, 2021 at 12:49 am
It’s good to know you’re still out there. I mean, still around… not, “out there”.
Nevermind.
mrapp · February 13, 2021 at 5:00 am
……out there is good………..least I’m not layin’ dead some where
Russell G. · February 12, 2021 at 11:56 am
Agreed. And, for those in Florida that think the Sheriff’s will abide by the constitution…Recall that the Sheriff in Hillsborough County charged a pastor with “terrorism” at that start of the covidiocy because he held a service. When the county is basically under judicial and municipal control of Soros, well, you connect the dots.

There will soon be some dead cops after an incident… and you will see MASSIVE retirements… and the elite know it!
Mrs. McDuffie · February 12, 2021 at 1:30 pm
The rank and file have been and continue to be kicked out and replaced with sociopathic drones and those who are unquestionably loyal to the nwo and the great reset agenda, communists and communism. Many of these go along to get along types are of lower iq levels and many are not mentally well and suffer from array of mental health problems. This is also going on with the military too. When it gets real no one of sound mind or sane patriotic individuals will be sticking around to uphold the coupe d’etat of the republic against the American people. Not to mention there will likely be a bunch of PMCs (private military contractors) in cop uniforms upholding the coup.
Most PDs are partnering with the united nations under what is called strong cities initiatives.
The un is behind a lot at the local level of governments as they can’t form alliances with the states under article 1 section 10 so they are using local governments for their nwo vehicle.
The bottom line is the police aren’t your friends no matter how much you’ve been conditioned to believe so.
Johnny Paytoilet · February 12, 2021 at 1:40 pm
Just remember, as long as you have the police, you have a police state.
Rainman · February 12, 2021 at 2:03 pm
Police are walking into punches here.
Arresting church goers for terrorism
will lead to dead cops and civil war.
The 1st amendment does not say
” unless there is a virus with a 99.5% chance of recovery”

A cop once told me, “there’s no such thing as a bad shoot, only a bad report.”
‘Nuff said.

A negro cop abusing his authority to vent his racial hatred against a White woman. Diversity is our strength.
Chris Mallory · February 13, 2021 at 9:52 am
Good or bad, they all wear the same uniform. If a cop rolls up on a couple black dudes wearing certain colors, they are going to treat them like gang bangers. If a cop stops a motorcyclist wearing outlaw club colors, he is going to treat the guy like an outlaw biker. If a cop stops a guy with prison tatts on his neck and face, the dude is going to be treated like an ex con. Why should be be any different when we encounter the gang in blue(khaki, grey, black)?
Charles Emerson · February 13, 2021 at 12:50 pm
Now a days, one must segregate law enforcement. Top end are the LE who are professional. Take their oath, and job seriously. Are too senior for corrupt, sociopathic management to screw with. And who have no problem calling out an illegal, or unconstitutional order.
The mid level are the guys that need the job, and therefore, must do as they are told. If they fall under a senior professional, good to go. If they fall under a blmantifa cop, or socio-pathetic manager, look out.
Then you have the bottom level. Political appointees. Sociopath terroristic criminals who hide behind the badge, demand free stuff and bonuses, give illegal, unconstitutional orders, then hide. Usually, closely allied with members of the bar. Fraternity includes yes men, suck ups, lawyers, and many SES’. So on initial introduction, we the people must determine if the LE is a Professional? FUBAR? Or an incoming BOHICA round? So treat carefully!

As a 40 year vendor to L.E. A very few good cops, Most of the rest with chips on their shoulder. Look at their leadership, 5 stars on the Chiefs collar, and FBI National Academy graduate……LOOK OUT. Most elected Sheriffs wear Bird Colonel Insignia. They know the citizens are their boss.
Achmed Hambrich · February 14, 2021 at 1:30 pm
Being a National Academy grad just means you went through an fbi fraternity initiation, and were successfully brainwashed. You make lotsa good contacts, all under fbi overwatch. You become politically indoctrinated into the communist democrat law enforcement methodology. And run up huge tabs in “the board room”.

ITS a shame none of you know the LORD,he sees the future and the past,HE CALLED YOUR HERO’S ROTTEN TO THE CORE,and they all are,I hear everyone say OH that cop is my friend,he saved us,or he did that,WELL THE LORD SAYS you hero’s will be with the UNITED NATIONS MILITARY WHEN THEIR KICKING IN DOORS AND MURDERING EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE,including their children and dogs,AMERICA,blind stupidity is about to cause your death,good luck at your trial in Heaven,your SATANS HERO”S…

I see the same angle. No one sees the post George Floyd angle. Blacks with a position of authority are abusing the ungoodwhites everywhere!!
From this fascist bastard to black DAs doing prosecutions based on race to Muriel Bowser providing grossly inadequate Porta potty facilities for the Jan 6 rally to black poll workers in Detroit physically abusing white rpoll observers so that they could cheat the badwhites out of their choice for President
Consider this angle first. That’s what’s being revealed here
