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.
Good cops and bad cops, not worthy of blanket hero worship or blanket villany accusations.
In the end the least efficient part of the government.
However, having none is not an answer.
Serve and Protect seem unimportant these days.
People aren't forming long lines to get the job, and I have met a lot of cops who have become jaded.
