LEO’s will definitely have to pick a side very soon….
For everyone’s sake, I hope they side with the Constitution.

Cops picked a side a long time ago. They wanted to feel the power their costume provided and the protection their union offered. They won’t get an opportunity to change sides.

Initially they’ll go along with the establishment and will take heavy losses. They’ll quit in droves when it dawns on them they need to protect themselves and their families.

The military will then take over policing as an occupation force. They’ll kill on command till they realize their comrades are killing their relatives in a neighboring state. They will either desert their posts or turn their weapons on their supposed superiors. That’s when the gov’t collapses.

Lots of death and destruction for absolutely no reason once again sponsored by morons in gov’t service.

SAO,
Not all cops picked a side long ago and I doubt you meant ALL. Some (not enough) still are ready to defend the constitution. Having said that, a lot more need to get on the patriot train.

I absolutely mean all. I no longer care about an irrelevant document known as The Constitution. Since it’s no longer in force, it’s just as Dubya stated – It’s just a piece of paper. One of the few times the man made any sense.

Cops are among the dregs of any society. They are the individuals that, having failed to get an education, decide that clubbing people and stealing from them is their path to success.

We are all products of our experience and in my case, my encounters with cops has been 100% negative. My only interactions have been to have some costumed thug stop me on a road to hand me a ticket for harming no one. These are professional highwaymen protected by a corrupt system and they like it that way.

Their ‘To Protect And To Serve’ BS motto is correct if qualified by ‘the people that pay my salary’. They are absolutely useless in crime fighting as they show up after the fact with chalk to outline the body. Cops are there to fleece the population to provide the funds for their salaries and retirement benefits while protecting their masters from the citizenry rabble. Without cops, the political class would have been killed off long ago.

And you wonder why angry atheists must be shunned to the fullest. Know your enemy. Intelligence and evil are a dangerous combination. Alinsky while an asshole understood their tactics well, and embraced them. Bill Ayers admitted that millions would have to die in order to achieve his vision. I see no difference here…it’s fallacy of composition taken to the Final Solution.

Tick tock, HR. No doubt in my mind now.

I don’t care what’s in his heart or mind, or if he’s nice to his dog. What I do know is he has sworn an oath to uphold the law with no regard for what any law says. He’s a mindless robot according to the oath he took.

Now, let me ask you a question.

Would you be OK with the legislature passing a law to put cameras in every household to monitor 24/7 as a deterrent to spousal abuse, or other future crimes? Since there’s no limit to the insanity a legislature can make law, this is certainly possible.

A brain dead cop has given his word to enforce such a law without ever knowing of its existence. Does that make any sense to you?

And don’t weasel out with some smarmy bullshit.

“I no longer care about an irrelevant document known as The Constitution. ”

A blunt hard statement to take but it seems you are correct about that piece of paper as many in our own govt feel that way. However, it still exist in the hearts of many and that will soon one day be shown that it is not only preserved, endeared, and also enforced. Many will be reminded of this in the coming storm. Just like freedom is not an idea or a right, it is in a humans soul. It needs no paper or govt to describe or enforce it. People will, in the end enforce these things. Albeit sometimes with massive blood on both sides.

I understand your position. I wish the gov’t would abide by the Constitution, but hasn’t in a very long time. Asking it to once again consider it is just not going to happen IMO, so for the time being, I’ll ignore it as they ignore it.

Just look what they’ve done with the Commerce Clause. It’s been tortured to allow just about anything and the courts allow it.

Any average person’s reading of the 2nd Amendment should negate any and all laws that mention weaponry, and yet there are thousands of laws that infringe every day.

The US is no longer a nation of laws evenly applied. It’s a kakistocracy that does whatever it can get away with.

It starts wars all over the planet and interferes with other country’s internal affairs constantly. It spies on its own citizens and the alphabet agencies are still in business. Hillary is still on the loose and Biden is running for high office. All this and more should be impossible, but it’s reality.

VIRGINIA SHERIFF WILL NOT ENFORCE UNCONSTITUTIONAL GUN LAWS

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/11/24/virginia-sheriff-will-not-enforce-unconstitutional-gun-laws/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=todays_hottest_stories&utm_campaign=20191124

The shit storm is coming.

I know two cops who both have told me they would side with the Sheriff in the above link, and they have discussed it with friend co-workers who agree.

My last major fighting prep was body armor. Got a big discount buying both hard and soft at a Gun Show, and of course got to try them on. Great lady owns this company.

The shit storm is coming.

I’ve  read conflicting reports on this as well and there better have been something far more serious, and provable than simply the mere possession of a $20, 30 round magazine that is perfectly legal in over 40 states for him and his family to be treated this way.

The big question to answer:

“Are your Sheriffs/Chiefs of Police elected or politically appointed?”

If elected, you are better off; if appointed you may have serious problems.

(NB) For the most part, 48 of 50 States elect sheriffs

I am glad this situation brought what seems over a 100 folks to area to be a set of eyes at minimum if this guy was killed.This red flag/gun law nonsense do believe will at minimum soon kick off a kick off push back aka yellow vest/Hong Kong/folks in Iran,hell the list of push back is endless.A huge difference which I believe holds folks in check is the public in this country armed to the teeth,going to be “interesting times’ in this country.

There are lots and lots of people out there who are sick and tired of leftists doing their level best to take away EVERY remaining freedom. They aren’t out protesting, screaming or shouting, they are, however, watching and waiting and preparing. There is a tipping point, a point where things go ballistic, no one really knows what the spark will be but unless the leftists back off, the deplorables will turn them to greasy spots should that spark get lit.

It started when the police went in on a domestic ‘incident’ call which escalated when the cop claimed to have heard a gunshot and called for back up that eventually included …
“The police called in the Putnam County Emergency Response Team, the West Chester County Department of Public Safety’s Special Response and Negotiations Team, and an armored personnel carrier (APC). Booth captured all the law enforcement activity on his Instagram feed. Neighbors said it looked like a warzone. Firearms celebrities started sharing his address and asked people to show up to support him.”

I daresay had the attention of the 2nd Amendment community and internet viewers not happened, the cops would have killed him. It’s what they usually do, generally by starting a fire with a flash bang.

[There’s a LOT of people who are willing to get in a shootout with cops …].
Naah – I figure there’s about 50, nationwide, who really want to get in a shootout with cops. And after they are resolved (one way or the other), there’s about 60 million nationwide who will … practice their sniper skills. And win.
