Cop shuts down highway to save small dog, becomes Web hero

[Anti Federalist]

Holy shit, am I seeing some moderation in this thread? Not all black and white? I never thought I'd see the day.

By all means, what was I thinking, yes, moderation and compromise, now.

I don't have too many rights left, but I'll happily compromise the rest away for...well, for the sake of coming off as rational and civilized.

Am I doing it right?

You are not making disparaging remarks about the servants of the public are you, comrade?

Perhaps you should be rehabilitated in the Psikhushka. No sane person would have such disturbing views about officials who sacrifice for the good of the people.

Irrational hatred of an entire group of people is a collectivist way of thinking.

This statement is mundane as I did not say I hate all police forces, but if you honestly believe that there are more sane LE officers than psychotic pigs who raid the "wrong house" then you clearly are deluded to the point of no return. When you have a pig who tasers a husband on the freeway in Utah because he refused to sign a ticket, and the pig is cleared of any wrongdoing there's a cancer in the justice system as a whole.

Individual instances of abuse should be pointed out. Corruption should be researched and uncovered. Police should be monitored by the community. Sure

Spare me your lame talking point man and wake up. You have drones flying over this country and factions of the military tactically training in civilian environments.

But gross generalizations are for idiots. Are you an idiot? I think you might be.

I think you need to change your shit-stained glasses.

rep whore

Speaking of rep whore, where do I sign up?

I'm at 74 rep and I still only have one green bar. Maybe I should echo the echo chamber's sentiment du jour a bit more? Or just post more?

Does 100 rep = 1 bar? I've always wondered.

What does it mean????

I thought the exact same thing when I first saw it. When someone showed the first line of it to me on their phone, I said, "What is that?" To which they replied, "Haven't you ever seen someone flipping over a table in rage?" And I said, "Like jesus in the temple of the money changers?" And they kind of stared at my blankly.

But basically, envision it as some kind of cartoon character flipping over a table in rage.
On the next line, another character puts the table back.
Then on the final line, the original character flips over the person who replaced the table.

That's at least how I envision it. With no significant meaning attached from my perspective. For whatever reason, I just thought it was interesting.

Wrong,, My hatred is for authoritarianism.
I am opposed to the very concept of Police. I am opposed to the concept that people NEED to be CONTROLLED.
And that certain Elites decide what is to be controlled and by who.

It is contrary to the Concept of Liberty.

Police need to be eliminated,, The very concept of "police" needs to be removed from free society.

Yeah, but you are crazy. So I am going to argue with AF instead. I disagree with em, but at least AF has the capacity for rational debate.

EDIT:I edited something to be nice.

See, first of all, I don't think it is "irrational". Or, let me put it this way, it is not irrational to approach any encounter with law enforcement with extreme caution and, all things considered, you are almost always better off avoiding such an encounter in the first place.

Second, the generalization is in the uniform.

When the time comes, cops will follow orders.

And that's just a fact. If we take the position that this government has gone corrupt and rogue (it has) to its logical conclusion, you must "generalize" that those who don the uniform will follow the orders of that same corrupt and rogue government.

The fact that they rescued a puppy from the freeway today, does not negate the fact that they will be SWAT raiding some poor innocent bastard tomorrow.

The fact is, I know many cops who do not follow orders like that. Now I would agree that caution should be used when an encounter with law enforcement is necessary, but that doesn't mean that a large number of police officers are actually interested in protecting the public.

Again, I think stereotypes are for liberals, doesn't matter if it is based of race or occupation.

So you're saying you know, personally, a number of cops that will turn in their guns and badges if they are issued orders in opposition to the constitution and Bill of Rights?

Are any of them canine cops?

Did you read the today's SCROTUS ruling?

 

[KingRobbStark]

Not very professional of him.

 

[Indy Vidual]

Thank you.

With all the bullshit hatred of cops on this forum, I thank you very much. I don't mean to demean or discredit real abuses of power and the constitution by police. I think they should be pointed out and word should spread. Which is why I don't get angry at the majority of AF's threads.

At the same time, we need to recognize that all cops are not evil. The one who saved the dog isn't. The one who saved my life isn't. And that many (not all) offer a real public service.

So a very Sincere Thank You,

Slutter McGee

Yes

Forcing people to obey political edicts ≠ protecting the individuals that comprise "the public".

That doesn't mean "all cops are bad people". It's an institutional problem, which attracts many people who are simply interested exercising power over others in a socially and legally acceptable way and forces the people interested in doing something positive for their community to do or contribute to bad things at it's very foundation. The issue is that it's a horrible "security" system based on socialism and political authority.
