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 I ask you a serious question? And I apologize if this seems a bit spicy, but I'd really like to discuss this hard question with you from a standpoint of good faith.
Is it possible the LEO's in your family aren't as "good" as you think? Is it possible, that when they're out of your sight, that they abuse their power, a little here, a little there? Maybe because they're tired, hungry, annoyed, or in a bad mood?
If we were to sit down and somehow watch a film of all of the interactions between your family members and the individuals they exercised their powers against, with Jesus Christ himself sitting with us, and a few lawyers perhaps, how do you think that would go?
Would we see your family members as the gleaming paragons of justice you see them as?
Or would there arise ugly moments, not all the time maybe, but a little here, a little there, that would compel you to beg forgiveness for them?
Well, it is conceivable that they could abuse their power, but it doesn' t match their personality. Some people are law abiding and follow a code of conduct. It is partly the way we were raised, but the reason why I didn't go into law enforcement was because I don't have the self control not to cripple a pedophile, or disappear them. I follow my own moral code and the law doesn't always follow the same path. My brother in law is retired and he is a Marine that was nearly crippled in the service. A corpsman saved him and he managed to save his arm. He has always had the code and has always acted with honor. Some of us don't have flexible morality. I don't cheat on my taxes, I don't steal, I don't sleep with married women, I have solid Christian morals and behave like I am being watched. Temptations do come around, but I deny them. Believe it or not, some people have self control and actually do try to live life as if God is watching and judging.
I hope that you are that way, and I hope that your family is that way too.
