Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Texas deputy who shot farm dog is getting his just reward.....

The truth really burns you up, doesn't it?

Kinda the point of me being goofy in my responses.

When an angry cop says he wants to meet someone he encounters on line, it's usually taken as a threat.

What??? First, I'm not angry. Never am. You read me wrong partner. Second, I said I want to meet you, smoke dope, and have an epic conversation. If THAT scares you, well, I just don't know what to say brother.

I didn't say it scared me. I identified what you were doing.

And your tone is clearly that of an angry person.

PS The root cause of the problem we're discussing isn't any defect in cops as individuals, necessarily. Cops are merely behaving naturally in light of the position the state is creating for them in our society.

The root problem is the increasing extent to which the police are intruding into the lives of regular folks. Again, that's not at root a problem with individual cops, i.e., the problem isn't that cops are doing their jobs defectively. It's a problem associated with our transition into a police state, i.e., the job the state is now asking the cops to perform, that of imposing tyranny on the population at large. We don't want you to do that job at all, whether well or poorly. A certain degree of callousness is a natural result of asking our police forces to fulfill this role, and the casual attitude that develops regarding the shooting of dogs is merely a natural consequence of that.

I didn't know an officer had shot your dog. I'm sorry to hear that.

And I REALLY REALLY hope no one ever shoots my penned dogs, you will all hear about it, cause it will make the world news.

I disagree. With both points.

My tone was never angry. The majority of the thread might have been. My tone was obviously joking and dismissive at worst. Don't exaggerate what's happening please. You know darn well I was not threatening you in any way. Never have in this thread or any other. Threats aren't my way.

As for the root cause, I disagree that it's an "increasing extent" that the police are intruding on our lives. It IS happening, but that's nor the root cause in my mind.

I truly believe the root cause is an increasing disbelief in the importance of freedom from the top down, and more importantly, a huge loss of personal responsibility and lack of respect for our fellow man. That may sound like the same thing. But not really.

It's not just the way we conduct and view law enforcement in the majority of this country. It's the way we conduct our lives in general. Zero morals and ethics. Complete breakdown in passing on to future generations our pride in Freedom and America. And this weird obsession so many have of forcing God out of our lives.

That's just my opinion. A very non-angry opinion I might add.

Why would you try to drag down an officer over something like that?

The average Policeman isn't the Cops i grew up knowing in the 50's and 60's. When we were young growing up we were taught by our parents to look up to and respect the local Policemen, that they were our friends, today parents are now teaching their children to avoid the average Policeman because he is now becoming our enemy instead of our friends. The police have changed in the last forty years and it isn't for the better. When you call 911 you are putting your family lives and yourself on the line.
