Threats to CT Police Escalate Following CT Cop’s Gun Confiscation Comments – Cops Ask Pro-Gun Veteran to Help Cool Things Down When the government fears the citizens, we'll have the type of country the founders imagined and we'll have liberty.
And I remember I father, WWII vet giving every officer - state patrol, city police, everyone a little wave when we passed them on the road. They always waved back. He drove me to my PT appointments for a while, and he always waved - but they never did.
Now, WHEN we see them in our neighborhoods, they're driving through, wearing the mirrored glasses, window up on the car, no connection with anything they see.
I am angry and sad and angry. They are not our friends any more, they are not our neighbors or even our relatives. They are "them", frightening strangers at best and homicidal strangers at worst.
I'm glad that they knew someone to ask about what to do after they had dug their own holes with what they've said and what they've done.
I fear it's too little, too late - and I would not trust them, no matter what they said in their "apology". As long as they have created it and expanded it and nurtured it - and as long as 1 guy in a department still believes he's in charge - they are still, to some extent, "them".
It was a different world, one I miss, and one that worked a lot better than today's.
I know that in more touristy areas, the police can be corrupt and it's sort of open and kind of accepted. The best cracking down on that kind of thing has been smart phones. smart phones are great "witnesses."
They drive SUVs that have much more in common with military Humvees than your wife's Jeep and wear the uniform, body armor and carry the weapons of special forces units. The cops that are out in squads are dressed like their SWAT team "brothers".
The current "squad" has as much in common with your family car as a tank does with my truck.
The point is that every effort is made to build a divide between them and us. In every contact with the public officers are taught to couch every sentence, every word in the manner of an interrogation.
Gone are the days of the good ole cop on the beat - now the patrol. They don't talk to citizens, they have a contact - and document everything said. When they are called to serve a warrant, it's common to refer to the act as an assault on a home. All military phrases, all couched in a way to build the citizen being "contacted" into the mold of a criminal.
Ha! Love that bit.
It would seem that threats of violence are exactly what was needed. That is what caused the police chief to see this as something that needs to be addressed. Not the statement itself.
All the crap the MSM usually pull whenever they can.
