Yes. I am not getting put in it.

Here's a little something oddly appropriate.

It does boggle the mind. My husband and I need to seriously consider other alternatives to this Stalinist state.

What?? I can't hear you. I'm crunching on some potato chips.
;-p

And I thank each and every one for choosing to take that oath. I am indebted to them all, and they have my profound gratitude.

I prefer orange juice to Simpson... :)

This is what happens when 12 years of public schooling indoctrinate people with the notion that there is no area of our lives in which government has no business, that we owe everything we have to government, that government is the source of all our freedoms, and that the Constitution is just an irrelevant piece of paper.

A large, intrusive government is inimical to individual liberty.

Hell in a hand-basket...

does law enforcement attract the Aholes or it just takes a few...

I worked with a cop like this guy in the past. We were both security cops on a community college campus. He was large and had a mouth to match. His method of dealing with students was abrasive and demeaning. He finally got too many complaints and moved on to some little town in the boondocks full of loggers. Maybe they appreciated his approach more than the students did. Or, he got an attitude adjustment from the loggers he confronted. Never heard from him after the move.

did you just refer to OA as OJ? lol
the question is-what is going on in the training to begin with? Or is this somewhat of a group think us vs. them. I'm sure that is easy for cops to fall into

Exactly, OJ. Cops like this guy need to re-training in the areas of Constitutional law, and who their boss really is, the taxpayer of CT.

This is pretty spectacular, amazing. Thanks.

Under the Nuremberg principle, he will NOT be required. He swears "to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic," does he not?

I know some good cops and I know some cops like this. The ones like this were either dropped on their heads by their mothers or have come back from war with PTSD and given a gun and a badge.

This is going to get interesting...

I do not defend this police officer, but he's in a tough position. This guy says to him you're enforcing a law that's unconstitutional. His attitude is "I'm charged with enforcing the law, not interpreting what's constitutional. The guy takes an extreme example, "Does that mean you follow Hitler's orders to commit genocide?"

I agree both genocide and confiscating guns are against the US Constitution, but saying b/c he's confiscates guns he'd follow Hitler is wrong. Most people think the US Constituion does not allow any citizen (including criminals) to have any weapon (including WMDs). ON the other end, almost every one agrees a well-regulated militia must be allowed 18th century weapons.

Banning certain types of guns puts police officers in a tough position. I don't agree with equating them to Nazis.

This officer would look much better if he had said, "I regret I will have to break down your door to enforce this law if you don't comply." .

What can you say about a cop that would give his left nut? OK guy, drop em.

He won't have to break down his door and enforce the law, he will choose to. Plenty of honorable police and military also choose to join Oath Keepers and refuse to go along with unconstitutional orders.

Shhh, Michelle Obama might hear you.

But he won't regret it. It'll give him a chance to dress up in combat gear and call himself an 'operator'. They actually think of themselves as special forces combat guys. It's a big part of why there's so many deaths.

If he kicks the door in , he could be in lots of trouble. If they do not announce they have a warrant, lots of trouble could ensue. Not a good thought. Hope the cop settles down.
BTW, I have five close relatives that are cops. Not one would kick in the door.

Excellent! Lets hope they ignore any infringement of rights guaranteed by our constitution.

"But I don't trust the Republicans either, at the state or the federal level," Cinque continued. "This whole Progressive movement has bitten everyone, and that's what it comes down to."

Truer words were never spoken. The Progressives have nailed down Education, both parties, the courts, the economy, the press, et alia. They are very near to a complete victory.
