    Over a half a century of occasional interaction with police I have learned they are not useful to me and if they choose, can waste my ass without second thought. Everybody gets to have their own thoughts.

    Blacks support the police only because they don’t know what’s best for them.

    I’ve known a lot of good and pretty good cops over the years, and interacted with a few bad ones.
    I think we, alas, need the cops.
    I don’t think we need police immunity not immunity of any government official.
    I do think we need laws and regulations that are in full accord with our Constitution and that any actions by the police be limited to enforcement, not interpretation, of such.

    Gotta have the Po-Po. I have a tendency to obey the Constitution, and pay taxes. No problemo with the police. USA!USA!USA! My oath to uphold such, still stands.

    I saw a YT vid yesterday that showed some evidence that a significant number of LEOs are joining State militias. Seems they are beginning to understand that their handlers don’t have their backs when they respond to dangerous situations using approved protocol. The handlers jump ship at the first sniff if a problem from their response to an incident.

    Hell, I don’t blame them. When your bosses will hang you, your jig is really up and if I was a big city po-po I’d be damned before I’d respond to anything that intimated trouble beyond clearing traffic after a minor fender bender. All of my response times would be tepid.

    Jack, they ain’t gonna give up those lucrative incomes and all that goes with it. I will NEVER trust a gov’t employee. The time for jumping ship is long past.
