LTFOL... I just went and read the oath that police take. What a joke...

This is the Law Enforcement Oath of Honor that is recommended by the International Association of Chiefs of Police. So I'm sure there are many different variations but I assume they are all fairly close to this.

On my honor, I will never betray my badge, my integrity, my character, or the public trust.
I will always have the courage to hold myself and others accountable for our actions.
I will always uphold the constitution, my community, and the agency I serve.

I find the part about having the courage to hold theirselves and others accountable especially cute. I'll at least give them this... If you took the constitution and community out of that last line it would actually be fairly accurate.

That shirt is stupid in so many ways. Can I stop being forced to pay for their services against my will?

No... Okay. Until then STFU and do your job how you're supposed to do it. Maybe actaully remember that oath you took. Ya know... The one where your said you'd uphold the constitution instead of whipping your ass with it, smearing it all our faces, and then acting like we're the bad guys for not liking it.

That'd be like Tony Soprano wearing shirt that said "Don't like our protection racket? Then find a crackhead to protect your store."

I actually hesitate to use the mafia analogy because yeah the mafia were bad guys and they'd make you miserable if you didn't pay your protection money, but at least they'd actually ensure nobody else messed with your store. And would usually make anyone who did sorry. Like government LE, their services weren't voluntary and funded through coercion but at least they actually did what they said they would. Best you can hope for with a cop is for them to show up and fill out a police report for your insurance. They also didn't try to pretend to be something they weren't. They were criminals and they knew it.

And when I start wearing a shirt that says "Hate Doctors? Then have a crackhead take care of you" then your post might be relevant. The thing is, I don't recall promoting such nonsense so per usual, it isn't.

It really is funny the usual suspects still think this is all about cops. Cops are simply the pointy end of politics. They only enforce the will of the political class.

No... It actually made no sense.

I mean, if expressing frustration that garbage like that is most LEOs and their groupies response to the growing turmoil between cops and the citizens in this country makes me a "badass", then okay I suppose.

You guys need to stop coming at me with with analogies to the medical profession. I'm betting that I think health care and its workers are an exponentially bigger joke than most of you guys do.

I heard the other day that 70 cents of every dollar spent in healthcare are by the government. I honestly don't remember where I heard that or if it's even true but I believe it. The government has its tentacles on just about single little thing we do and even though hospitals aren't technically government controlled, they essentially decide how we're gonna do stuff and how much it's gonna cost.

And as I'm sure you guys know, everything government puts its hands on is pretty much guaranteed to turn to s***.

It just amazes me how you lump ALL cops in the same category. They're no different than any other profession..... There are bad doctors, lawyers, plumbers, etc.

You're missing a key thing here Carl. You can voluntarily refuse the services of a doctor, lawyer, or plumber. You cannot refuse the "services" of a cop.

You're wasting your time buddy. I've tried to point this out dozens of times and there seems to be some invisible force that keeps it from getting through.

I meant to include in my post above but forgot how, though health care is a train wreck, the biggest difference is that, with some exceptions, my patients voluntarily came to the hospital and anybody who's cognitively able is free to walk out the door without any penalty.

Some like to think that when you leave AMA that insurance won't pay but that's a myth. Now if you walk out and show back up in the ER 12 hours later, the insurance/Medicare will be less likely to want to cover the readmission but probably still will. Either that or the facility will be force to eat the cost. Like I said, healthcare is joke.

Indeed, extract government from healthcare, I'd guess prices would plummet almost instantly. It's sad, regulate this, tax that, and so on. For every intervention they make into our lives, they simply make the problem worse.
And, we won't even get into the fact we're being robbed to pay for the care of others. It is what it is...
