Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Pissing in the wind, but lets give it a try

Witnessing felonious assault and giving a verbal to a speeder are the same thing to you?

Rhetorical question

The problem is the liberals can’t see it as that, they see it as whitey has all the privilege and that the 13% black population is targeted unfairly, just look, over 50% of the crimes are prosecuted against them. White privileged is alive and well...

I do tend to ride toward windmills on occasion.

LOL 🤠

Good grief Gruff. That's the same old song and dance cops always use. And for the record, I don't know the difference between officer discretion and picking and choosing. Sounds like slightly different ways to describe the same thing.

Personally, I'd like to see all LEO crap scrapped and a return to Peace Officers. Maybe that's just semantics, but I believe words have meaning. There are some fine cops out there. Let them do their jobs and protect and serve rather than just be an agent of the local commies. This shixt where guys like Kyle Rittenhouse get arrested and rot in jail (AFAIK he ain't out) is bs, especially when there's a catch and release policy where BLM is concerned.

With the mask laws/mandates in so many areas not being enforced I think yes is the only reasonable answer. And that’s just a current example.

^^^^^^^^^^^THIS, and it's about time someone actually puts it in perspective.^^^^^^^^^^^

Dodge268, I am betting you are feeling insulted and attacked now. Please don't.

You see, as a cop it's YOUR SWORN JOB to uphold the Constitution and be the warrior for the people. if you don't like that, quit, but don't act like your money is more important than mine of any one else. And from what you write, it sounds like you ARE trying. But calling out the faults of the system of allowing obvious wrong doing to continue in the name of "keeping the job" is the reason and the ONLY reason our county is now in danger of being destroyed. As I said before, politicians and judges NEVER kick doors, NEVER strong arm people, and NEVER arrest people. ONLY Cops do that.

If you re-read my article I wrote here (link>> https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...d-the-horse-they-road-in-on#Post15228651 ) you'll see scathing rebuke for corruption, but not for honest brave cops and never for a cop who will stand his ground against something that is OBVIOUSLY evil and unconstitutional.

If you did stand against unlawful orders and you did arrest those giving them and you were fired you have the option (and the duty) to sue for wrongful termination and can site the Bill of Rights as a reason to NOT obey orders, and article 3 section 3 for arresting someone giving you unlawful orders that are evil, and you DO HAVE FULL power to arrest anyone for treason or operation under color of law. those are both felonies. Can you win? Maybe and maybe not, but doing it will cause an effect to let evil politicians know they are not safe in their crimes and bring attention to the issue. Let the evil people defend themselves in front of a court and call for PUBLIC review. Like Richard Mack, that is how you be a VERY GOOD COP, not going along to get along. Bring it into the public eye. That's what you swore to do. Talk to your fellow officers and see what they say. But the "thin blue line' needs to be a line between the innocent and the evil ones, not ant a rope to tie the innocent up with so the evil ones can hurt them more.

We have lawful methods to act on. If you and other cops don't do it and just keep going along to get along, do you actually think you will have better options in the future with a communist overthrow of our nation? Do you think you will be honored and still get your pension when taxes have to be raised 3 to 6 time higher?

The paycheck and retirement you are hoping for will be some of the first things you'll see destroyed under the new system YOU are working to promote-------- by not defying it and opposing it.

please think about this and understand you can't avoid the issue.

I don't think it's just blacks, but scumbags of all sorts and those that have allowed the downplay of serious crimes and over-criminaization of chit that is not actually felony level.

I don;t feel attacked or insulted. I just don't understand why people don't get that you have to work inside the system. What my ideals are are different from the reality where I live. I wish everything was as cut and dried as it seems in the internet world where you live. I do what I can where I can and try to live with the rest.

The only way to do that is to eliminate city and state cops as they are beholden to the mayor or governor and return to just local Sheriffs as they are beholden to the people as they are elected.

Cudos to you sir.

I haven't seen any singing or dancing.

Agents of the local commies. Would those commies be the ones elected into positions of power?

So, to paraphrase, you want the cops who are hired to enforce the law, to ignore the laws passed by the folks elected into positions to make the laws. Is that a fair assessment?

Assuming said laws aren't in direct conflict with the constitution. But having said that, who interprets the constitution? The random dude sitting at the computer posting on a message board, or the judges elected or appointed by those elected?

Elections have consequences, that's not limited to POTUS.

I just want them to enforce the law EXACTLY THE SAME on politicians/mayors/judges/each other as they do on us peons. LMFAO !!

That is something I don't think anybody could disagree with.

Have not heard of it happening the way I described in over thirty years. And yes, that was not so smart. Neither was giving an "upstanding member of the community" a ride home in the back seat while officer #2 drove the person's car home for them.

Neither was the looking the other way when someones old man whacked the kids, or the old lady in a manner which today would be called child or spousal abuse. The next time he might kill a kid or his wife. And yep, it happened that way in the "olden days" I lived through, just like telling a borderline (or over the line no doubt) DUI to get the car home.

How does one limit lack of smarts in officer discretion? Have them enforce the law stringently every time?

No,

it's just the blecks.



Well, maybe some of them Latinos too.

And a few of them Asian gangsters.

Thanks

I don’t particularly care for law enforcement as a group, but I don’t see any way a policeman could make the public happy right now. I also don’t see what would draw anyone to that career at this time.

I’d bet in the next 10-20 years you.’lol see some real losers wearing badges. I sure wouldn’t want to do it.

Not realistic. If they did that, they wouldn’t have a job for long.
