Some Cops do deserve to be defunded ...

[dogtag]

Or at least fired.
Cops who arrested the Woman for not wearing a mask when she was alone in a park..
Cops who raid businesses and arrest owners for ignoring Bozo's idiotic curfew.
Cops who arrested Man and his wife for protecting their property.
Cops who blindly follow illegal orders from dictator like Governors and Mayors.
There are good Cops and bad Cops. Unfortunately the profession tends to attract
ex school bully types who enjoy bullying people.

"Real Facts" - What other type of fact is there ?

Times have sure changed. In a nearby town of about 25,000 population the only policeman killed in the line of duty was on July 21, 1937. The killer was wounded in the shootout, but was sentenced to death the next week, and executed on September 3, 1937. No messing around with endless appeals and stays then.

I remember when a Cop on the corner mostly gave people directions.
Giving my age away.

Kellyanne did a fine business trading in something she called "alternative facts" for awhile there. Most people just call those lies.

DT, your as bad as the all mighty Togor with your ideas of police. Police do not make the laws the politicians do. They just enforce the law. Mandates made by the likes of Governors if not reputed by the state legislature carry the weight of law. So your complaints about them enforcing rules and such set forth by politicians again have the force of law. Then its up to the courts to say yes or no to an arrest. So if you have a bitch take it to the legislature and change the law and don't try to hang it on the police just trying to do their job.

Another Freudian slip of self regard, thank you Togey for sharing about yourself

Tuna not riding to DT's rescue as he neither wants or needs rescuing, but you know darn well cops are not mindless automatons executing the programmed instructions of their supervisors. They're equipped with judgement, and theoretically the training that allows them to use it wisely. Which means yes, selective enforcement of a lot of little things. And of course the law holds that while they have you detained you're kind of stuck. That can be irritating. Just how it is. You know all of this better than me, which makes your post a bit disingenuous.

But that's not the current narrative. Police, to the National Socialists, are a different species. They were born police, with every possible flaw and behavioral problem, and they need to be eradicated, like coyotes or mosquitoes.

Many Sheriffs have declared they will not enforce dictatorial directives.
City Police Chiefs are political and do what they're told no matter what that is.

[Tuna]

Togor your missing the point again. A police officer makes an arrest for what ever matter. It's no longer up to him or her. It is now in the hands of the courts. A judge decides from that point on. I have seen as many times as not of a judge going with the defendant. Case closed. Now as to Sheriffs. They are also political in nature. What ever wind blows in their county is going to be the way they will lean. It's all politics no matter how you look at it. But the day to day job of enforcement stays the same.

[togor]

Fair point, Tuna.
