To Protect and to Serve II

[Vol8188]

That is the irritating thing when it comes to cops on this issue. The fall back on the defense of "just following orders"/"enforcing the law", yet they don't use the power of their union to influence changes in the laws or in developing better training.

The “we don’t make the laws argument” first shows a lack of morality and second is a lie. Their unions 100% ensure gun laws, the drug war, and other laws stay intact.

Exactly...

Police unions ensure drugs are illegal? Huh?

Do me a favor, check out the "In a rough spot" thread over in the Pub. You might be able to give some advice.

100%. Police unions, prison guard unions, sheriff’s unions, all fight to keep drug and gun laws intact. Their lobbyists were strongly involved in TN not allowing medical marijuana last session and not becoming a right to carry state.

Maybe because that's all there is?

I'd love to post how my local cops came by and mowed my grass today instead of writing a ticket, but I can't.

You can't be serious

The war on drugs is a jobs program.

Truth.

Can’t believe anyone would even try to argue the roles police unions play in that

It's in their best interest to lobby for the WoD and they do in fact lobby for the WoD. Case closed.

Never thought about that. If we have fewer crimes, we have a need for fewer cops...

A ticket for 25,000 mph is going to be a lot.

Wait until automated vehicles are more commonplace. What are municipalities going to do when traffic court is empty? No one speeding or running stop signs is going to mean big budget issues down the line especially for small towns. Legalize weed and there goes a lot of seizure funds and court fees.

Ever notice the interdiction teams on the interstate are always pointed at the southbound lanes? They don’t want to stop the drugs, they want to stop the money. The drugs are no good to them, they’re worthless and will just be burned. But the cash can be seized to buy new toys to fight the war they’re not super interested in winning. If they were they’d be halting the drugs. Think about the crime and violence committed to get a brick of coke converted to cash. The cops are more than happy to turn a blind eye to all that to ensure they get a new armored car or night vision goggles.

I don’t understand the argument. Are only immigrants capable of murder?

Yeah, I couldn't make the connection between that and "to protect and to serve".

Do cops have the buy their own shoes?

Lets see would it have happened if he was still in Mexico ?

You can make this same dumb argument to support any level of government power. It’s really no different than LG wanting to ban guns. “Someone was shot, ban guns”

Wonder how the cops families feel about it all ? Its basically more of a hate crime

88 doesn't care..... he wants everyone to be able to move about wherever they please.... there are no borders in his utopia...... he needs a few uninvited dirty sobs to move into his house with him

Your open borders/no borders argument is one of the dumbest ever in the PF

Don’t you care about the families of children at sandy hook?

Weak, emotional argument. Thanks LG

It’s called “capitalism” and “freedom”. Sorry you hate those things
