Someone has to say it. Being a cop doesn't automatically make you a benefit to society. Sure, stable systems of law enforcement are good for society as a whole, here's why you'll never catch me waving a thin blue line flag.
Remember, these are the same cops who will:
-
Lock you in jail for a dimebag of weed while everyone ignores Hunter Biden's crack habit and illegal guns.
-
Will sit around while children get shot like fish in a barrel and fail to save many lives because when it comes down to brass tacks they're too chickenshit to do the hard parts of their job.

- Shut down your business over covid ordinances and arrest you if you do not comply.
- Taze and arrest you on BS trespassing charges for refusing to wear a mask.

- Show up to your house completely unannounced and demand to violate your right against unreasonable search and seizure without a warrant.

-
Enforce red flag laws and seize your guns with no due process.
-
Confiscate your firearms once the bans lefties all want go through.
-
Herd you into the box cars and take you off to the camps when it gets to that point.
So no. I will not fly a blue line flag. Nobody gets credit just for being a cop with me.
Every single cop needs to put their foot down, stand up for people's rights, and WALK THE FUCKING WALK.
Otherwise they're just as bad as the Stasi.
Fight me about it. Prove me wrong.
Can't prove you wrong. There are good ones and bad ones. But I also think you'll find that in most professions... good lawyers, bad lawyers. Good nurses, bad nurses. Good doctors, bad doctors. Good teachers, bad teachers. Good adminstrators, bad administrators. Good business owners, bad business owners. Good pastors, bad pastors. The list goes on. If anything we learned during the plandemic is that 'we the people' should have stepped up to the plate whenever we had the opportunity. We allowed this shit to happen. We didn't do our due diligence and question the mandates, the masking, the shots, the all of it! We are considered a free country... that's BS now. They took advantage of complacency.. and knew they could. Shame on all of us! I hope to God there have been and will be lessons learned and we never allow our freedoms to be so easily stepped on ever again. Something I've learned over the last couple of years has been how easily people just 'do what they're told' with seemingly no question on what they are REALLY doing (your examples above). We're all a bunch of wussies that need to get angry and start making a difference by doing THE RIGHT thing, even if it means job loss, income loss, license loss, etc... In the end, those are the people that will make a difference. Those are the people that will change history. Without bravery like that, we are just another commie controlled country, with no hope and no future.
True!
You also don't see lawyers rescuing people, children, animals from life threatening situations. Cops die in the line of duty. If you can't see the difference, then it is hard to explain. Most cops will die trying to protect the defenseless, most try to do the right thing everyday. Some succeed and some fail. Some cops are bad out of the box and some go bad over time. Dealing with the dregs of humanity day after day takes its toll on the best of them. If you haven't walked a mile in their shoes, it is truly a unique type of person that judges them.

Yeah you do. This pizza dude saved a bunch of kids.
And most cops won't die to protect the defenseless, just look at Uvalde. They sat on their phones while the defenseless were slaughtered.
Remember that time the Boston Bomber was found hiding in a boat by a private citizen, but the Boston PD threw themselves a victory parade?
If you believe that the Uvalde event was a FF, it is hardly a good example for proving your point. I can tell that you have very limited interaction with LEO's. What examples of personal interactions do you have that prove your point? Was it broken taillights and dime bags of weed? A fixit ticket is hardly an abuse of power, a bag of weed is only found when you have done something to attract their attention as a probable person of interest. What is it about you that attracts scrutiny from law enforcement?
