Don’t get me wrong, as a medic who has worked some busy streets and a lot of scenes involving law enforcement, plus as an Educator having led class rooms full of Officers, I can say I have taught every State Trooper in the state at one time or another.
And having made many friends amongst law enforcement..
I find the majority are good caring officers..Can honestly say I’ve never had a bad experience with LEOs in my career, now maybe a time or two during my formative, rebellious years..But that’s neither here or now.
But when I see stuff like this..
Militarizing Police Was a Bad Idea
Makes me wonder what the hell is happening..
Lot of fail here on law enforcement and government ..
THESE DAYS IT IS DIFFICULT TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CRIMINALS AND POLICE WHO ARE ON THE TAKE. SOME OF THIS IS DUE, BY HAVING POLICE HAVING THEIR HANDS TIED BEHIND THEIR BACKS, WHILE PERFORMING THEIR DUTIES, WHILE OTHERS ARE JUST PLAIN ROTTEN WITH ABUSE. A CHILD IS NO LONGER SAFE WITH POLICE, I REMEMBER THE DAYS WHEN POLICE WAS EVERY CHILD’S FRIEND. THEY WOULD GET CHILDREN AND FAMILIES TO WORK TOGETHER.
