We back the blue, but will they back us?
Like most conservatives, I support the police and the vital role they serve in a civilized society.
But like many conservatives, watching them stand down on orders from blue state mayors during months of riots was jarring. (They even stood down during a Back the Blue rally in Denver when speakers were attacked.) (snip) I fear the police may be slowly morphing into an arm of the Democrat party to be used against citizens in ways that target conservatives and allow Marxists to roam free, destroying everything in their path. This is one way I fear the left plans to “reimagine” the police.

If you got the DAs you are 2/3s there. Release murderers, child rapists, illegals, arsonists....
Great-great grand Sons of Liberty need to re-organize in ‘peaceful’ response.

"...but will they back us?" Yup, that's THE question.

We no longer back the blue in this home. They are a clear tool of the left.

Look at this from the police officer's viewpoint. If they don't follow orders they get fired (and just try finding another job right now) or severely disciplined (and demoted with loss of pay). What would you do if you had a family to support? My real worry is going to be the quality of recruits they are going to be able to attract.

They will continue a valiant fight against speeders, meting out fines wherever possible.

The Right: Back the Blue. The Left: Sack the Blue. And it's beginning to look like, The Blue: What Constitution?

A lot of the chief's spout "white supremacy" as the problem, so many agencies are lost already.

Do not look to the Police to have your back as this country pivots further and further away from the ideals and rights of the US Constitution. And remember the militarization of the Police and the increase of power and acts contrary to the Constitution have been the result of efforts by many on the Right.

Re: #4:
Think of the men and women who have risked, and given, their lives to protect the Constitution and their country. They left family and jobs to do so.
So cops are afraid of losing their jobs. Therefore, they violate the oath they took (yes, cops take an oath too!) Those who are guilty of ''just following orders'' are the lowest, scum-sucking pigs. They don't have the honor of those who have given their lives for the country.

The reimagined police goes hand in hand with the Defund the Police movement.
Defund the Police was no knee jerk reaction to some shooting. It was planned. The left wants a police force that will serve them rather than protect the public. Today's thieves, thugs, looters, and rioters will be tomorrow's reimagined police whose purpose is to serve their leftist masters, and keep the rest of society in tow.
It will be Venezuela, but on a much larger scale. The left steals everything, and turns everything around them into a wasteland while they live as kings. It will start in the big cities and move into all medium cities. Look at the states of New York and California for your best examples.

So, #4, in order to continue to support their families, you want the police to stand down and let the thugs beat up me, my kids, and maybe their own kids? You want them to open up the cell doors for murderers and rapists as some kind of act of "social justice"? Is that what you're saying as a good enough excuse for following orders? If it is, then you and every single cop who does so can go straight to hell without passing Go and collecting your $200 Marx-dollars.

...there is a recent vid that has gone viral showing 3 police officers in Key West ( The Sodom and Gomorrah of the U.S.) handcuffing and arresting a tourist out on the street...who happens to be a Fire Chief in his hometown...and charging him for "Not Wearing A Mask " !!... he is clearly not resisting (of course, he's white)...and when a bystander asks Why they are arresting the man...the female officer basically replies "Ve are only following orders " .
Fla is a very lax state when it comes to masks ..but Sodo...Key West... is FULL of liberals, perverts, and pot heads ...who hate the Republican Governor...and anyone who does not comply with THEIR mask dictates.
DO NOT LOOK TO THE POLICE FOR HELP IN A POLICE STATE.

During the recent Pro-Trump marches in DC, who did the police protect? Antifa and BLM terrorists...not the Trump supporters.

Not a problem, look what the fat white girls with green hair were able to do to a cowardly police presence. Their sense of duty and natural human protective instincts were successfully suppressed by the idiot democrat mayors. Are those same police going to come after an armed insurrection? I highly doubt it. They are more likely to control traffic so we can get to the center of Washington unimpeded.

Tthere's another vid of a policewoman kicking a mother and her young child out of a library for not wearing masks. That is the future of policing under Biden's regime and all the regimes after him because we are never going to get rid of Dominion, Smartmatic, ES&S and mail in voting after this.

I have said for a long time cops are not our friends.This is the same State Police who killed one the bundy people. The man was standing with his hands up and shot him.

From what I have experienced, many police officers will cower to the Left. Back in 2007, I organized a protest in Steubenville, Ohio that involved religious signs. I got permission from the police department. We carried out peaceful, prayerful protest on a city sidewalk. However, things turned sour when a security guard from a local community college--a public, taxpayer funded college, by the way, and one of the protesters was a student there--came out and said, "Get those religious signs out of here!!" He didn't like that our vehicles were in the parking lot of the college. The parking lot was huge--about the size of three football fields--and about 95% vacant. The college building itself was about two football fields away from where we were standing (on the city sidewalk). We were being singled out by the college for our religious speech. Other people were using the parking lot for reasons other than school attendance (and I took pictures of these other activities). The security guard called the police and made us move our vehicles to the fire department across the street.
This action by the police was totally unnecessary. They will kowtow immediately to the demands of people who are hostile to religious speech. And although they swear to protect the constitution, they are clueless about the First Amendment.

Everyone loves the Blue; backs the Badge, and all that.
Cops are NOT your political friends. Their unions support those Democrat big city machines, for a start. They get it back at negotiation time, after some posturing and wrangling with the local council.

I've been saying this about the police for some time now. If they obeyed orders to stand down against obvious crime, what would prevent them from obeying orders to come after us with power and force? We're talking about police, not sheriffs so much. Capital police are definitely of concern. What they did to those citizens in Oregon - cowardly and shameful!

She is right. Things are building to blow up.
There are tens of millions of good, patriotic, Americans who are hanging onto their "law abiding, non-violent" status by a Christian thread, praying hard for some non-violent option.
But perhaps in their hearts they know what Thomas Jefferson said about the Tree of LIberty. The time to pay up for our free ride for our wonderful Constitution may be coming.

All Police salaries and benefits leave them beholden to Politicians and Unions.
