If they were they’d quit. Or blow the whistle on the corruption. Instead, they hide in bushes with radar guns trying to catch you going five over on the way to work, or show up to enforce mask laws or vaxx passes, or arrest someone for defending themselves, their family, or their property from the criminals they somehow keep letting free.
Fuck professional police. Fire them all, bring back the hue and cry. Why would you want anyone to police you but your neighbours?
My first day on the job as a police officer. Literally hiding in the bushes at a 4-way stop around 1am. Some unlucky woman fails to completely stop at the stop sign and my “partner” jumps into action, turns on the blue lights and lurches from the hide. Pulls the woman over (small child in the back seat) and begins to berate her for not fully stopping. All this in a quite neighborhood. At 1am with zero other traffic. Woman gets a ticket. That’s when I started to suspect I’d made a poor career choice. However, I thought maybe if I could get high enough up the chain of command I could help prevent bullshit like the above from happening. A few promotions later and I quickly learned that most senior LE’s are even worse. That’s when I left LE forever. The police by and large are not your frens.
I’ve seen LEOs on this board. I wonder what they have to say.
FBI doesn’t count.
don't hurt their feels
Disagree strongly, most LEOS are good people.
Who were the police protecting during the summer of love back in 2020?
BLM and Antifa!

Good people just following orders are no longer good people.
