For America to function,
Americans must have a healthy fear
of police

Original Article

Americans from our earliest days as a nation have rejected authority, especially when it seems arbitrary and comes from government that seems out of touch with ordinary citizens. Such a domain of authority is extremely delicate when it involves the powers of police to protect public order and safety. Collective large group consciousness and unconsciousness embraces and grants permission for such use of force by the police.

Comments:

This one disagrees, a little. There is no "healthy" fear of police. Understand the Game... Police are trained to push all the "Fear" buttons. Voice, Posture, Pose, Hand on Weapon. In a predictable, escalating sequence. Every single "Fear" button that can be found and identified by the very best social scientists is used in interactions with the public. Why? To gain compliance. To gain compliance through psychology is preferred to gaining compliance through blood and death. Understand the game. Respect the power and authority of the state and there is no reason for any fear. At least, in a "normal" interaction. Teaching your children to "fear" police is the wrong path. Teach them instead righteous values.

Change the word fear to respect and I'll agree.

The police have gotten away with a lot. So have the prosecutors, and the judges. I have been naive. Then I learned about prosecutorial discretion from Obama. And from Trump's term, double jeopardy, not really, as they can try in the state and the federal jurisdictions. Attorney client privilege seems to have considerable shortcomings, if the client is Trump, and the attorney's office can be raided. If you worked for Trump, dawn raids by SWAT for made up process crimes have occurred. Our FBI sent 15 agents to investigate a rope to open a garage door, but no one sent for a lady calling in about someone about to shoot up a school, lunch you know. Our police were sworn to uphold the law, but when the mayor said don't enforce the law, they obeyed an illegal order. That doesn't earn much respect. The leadership seems to have no principles, morals, or ethics. All the FBI leadership has been fired. The DOJ should be, and so should the police chiefs, mayors, and most of the governors. The jails have been emptied. The police no longer arrest anyone for property crime. Like Seinfeld once asked, have you ever caught anyone for that? No. Actually, there are some good police, and even a few at the FBI, but they shouldn't expect to be promoted. The country is ran by the Democrats, a criminal organization, so you need to be barren of conscience to rise.

In democrat run cities, there is no fear that The Man is gonna come and take you away. There is no respect for men and women in blue, not even from the democrat/communist mayors and governors. Now Joe Biden has hitched his wagon to defund the police. The silent majority needs to make a statement in November!

Exactly how NYC dropped its crime rate during the Giuliani mayoralty. The police weren't shooting everyone but they proactively enforced the law.

On the rare occasion of having to interact with police (asking about a policy or a task- Ive not had a ticket or anything since 1975) I found them universally accusatory and offensive. I resent being talked to like a felon, especially I initiated the conversation and when the reason for the discussions had nothing to do with me doing anything "wrong". Lose the attitude, please. Not everybody is a perp.

When Americans fear their government (police) you have a tyranny. When government 'fears' the citizenry you have a Republic. Only criminals should fear the police. The corruption has run so deep every citizen is at risk. Just look at what they are still trying to do to the President. The three letter agencies need to be emptied - there's no 'reasonable' extrapolation from what the constitution grants the government in the way of authority, to what these agencies do, without requiring a constitutional amendment which didn't happen because the commies were in control when the agencies were created. That needs to be fixed.

Let's see, who wants a job whereby every time you'll called you pretty much see people at their worst behavior. Deal with that on a daily basis for years and see how it affects you. Not condoning bad police behavior, but the job is not for the weak minded.

One more for respect, Dr. Olsson. Not fear. Respect - for authority. It's been the end game all along . . . erode respect for authority. For our parents, our churches, our institutions. For our own bodies and unborn children. It's all "of a piece". Police were just next on the list.

Diplomatic immunity does not extend to terrorism, and that is very bad news for Iran's embassies.

(Snip) There’s no doubt that this plot was ordered by Khamenei, Rouhani, Zarif, and Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alavi.”

A word is more than just a neutral label attached to an object; it also carries a time-hardened public attitude. The easiest way to change the attitude is to change the label; hence, I heard on NPR a mention of "sex workers." Juvenile drug-dealers — I kid you not — were called "boys who made a mistake."

There were voluminous reports, from eyewitnesses and experts, of widespread election fraud in the so-called battle states and beyond. Specific allegations were made, and evidence of election rules violations and statistical anomalies were collected. Yet the courts refused to listen to virtually all witnesses and experts, rejected most of the evidence, and refused to subpoena more evidence requested by the plaintiffs. Many state government officials and some top representatives of companies supplying voting machines and software categorically denied any election fraud.

Love them or hate them, electric vehicles (EVs) are in our future. If you doubt that, look at signs. Car companies around the world are in a mad rush to pivot to EV manufacturing. Some examples follow. "Since March 2019, General Motors has committed to invest more than $4.5 billion in three U.S. manufacturing sites to prepare for EV-related production. The company announced it plans to release at least 20 new electric vehicles globally by 2023." This includes a monstrous Hummer which GM is repositioning as a pickup truck to compete directly against Tesla.

“Minneapolis residents in some areas still recovering from rioting and unrest are forming community watch and security groups, some bearing firearms, to fight a surge of crime,” reports the Wall Street Journal. While no one can blame the residents — in fact they should be applauded for doing what it takes to protect their own – this is, in ways I’ll explain below, not good. It is, however, a sign of things to come in countless Democrat-run cities:

I’ve been aware of Marc Lamont Hill as a long-time political contributor at CNN, but apparently, he’s weaseled his way into not only a professorship (Professor of Media Studies and Urban Education at Temple University) but a news gig at BET. Now, if what Hill does has any connection to news, then I’m Minnie Mouse. He’s one-hundred percent a radical, leftist activist who gives his opinion all day long. The most recent example came Monday night, in a video Hill shared on Twitter. In the video, which runs just over two minutes, he chides black protesters who he claims aren’t down with the Revolution.

Her approach to reporting the story is a textbook case of confirmation bias. There is no substantiated evidence of any sexual misbehavior by Brett Kavanaugh at any point in his entire life. Several shaky claims have been made along these lines, but all of them are badly undercut by available evidence. None of them is more likely than not to be true.

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people.

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
