Would someone please show me the words "police powers" in the Constitution. The nearest thing I can find there is that the Congress is supposed to write laws for calling forth the States Militias for law enforcement. Maybe if the citizens of the Militias were enforcing Federal laws, we wouldn't have these problems (from the Fed's at least).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-76774904831552179482016-07-22T02:45:16.958-05:002016-07-22T02:45:16.958-05:00There are no good cops.

We just have the cameras and the ability to post it on the internet for everyone to see. It's in our face now.<br /><br />The problem has always been what I call, The Little Man Syndrome. Someone who needs a uniform, a badge and a gun to make-up for whatever perceived inadequacies they think they have. Basically a bully! As Dave pointed out, silence is approval by default. Until there is a major change in the culture of LE the problem will continue to be there.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06530748998376076224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-20494200385505834062016-07-21T15:42:01.270-05:002016-07-21T15:42:01.270-05:00Police actually kill more whites, but we tend to r...Police actually kill more whites, but we tend to read autopsy reports and assume things like 'suicide by cop' are real.

The Black Lice Matters crowd are pushing to fry cops for just doing their jobs. They're shooting and killing cops that are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Liberals are making excuses for it.<br /><br />You put them in a squad car 8 hours a day dealing with human sewage, and when they DO catch murderers, rapists, and thieves, you do your utter best to put those criminals back on the street. The perp gets every benefit of the doubt, the cop gets none, and at some point he is either going to quit or check out rather than put up with your crap. A couple decades like that, and it is no wonder Officer Friendly has morphed into Robocop.<br /><br />Good grief, you don't have to worry about the bad cops, you need to seriously look out for your GOOD ones. They aren't going to put up with this chit much longer and when they pack it in - you'll be working with the Law Of The Jungle. It will serve us right too.Glen Filthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256741311142364722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-57067175233018924282016-07-21T11:22:44.813-05:002016-07-21T11:22:44.813-05:00I'd be happy if they stripped FBI agents of th...I'd be happy if they stripped FBI agents of the power to arrest, a power they never should have been given, and repealed the legislation making it illegal to lie to an armed agent of the state!

Same way you eat an elephant, one bite at a time:<br />1. dis-arm all federal agencies except the legitimate law enforcement, FBI, CIA, DEA, Secret Service and US Marshalls Service<br />2. repeal MOST federal crimes. Let Crime be handled by the states. <br />3. do not allow Congress or Agencies to CRIMINALIZE what should be a civil matter -- such as violation of EPA regs, etc. <br />4. DO AWAY WITH DEBTORS PRISON!!! you think we don't have it? Boy are you disconnected from what is going on. <br />5. Develop a plan for REDEMPTION for criminals. Some can be redeemed and want to be. But our system keeps for grinding their entire lives -- cant get a job, cant get certain occupational licenses, in other words CANT be forgiven by the state. <br /><br />How to do it? Just start. sdharmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12667962395368822004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-81636590688701686812016-07-21T10:34:07.698-05:002016-07-21T10:34:07.698-05:00What is interesting is reading Lind's "Fo...What is interesting is reading Lind's "Fourth Generation Warfare Handbook," and realizing that our police are heading down the same heavy-handed path (if in doubt, escalate!) our military look that lost Iraq.

Not actively committing offenses against the citizens and the Constitution isn't enough to be "good;" I'd lay odds that there are a lot of LEOs--very possibly a majority of them--who may not break the rules themselves, but know somebody who does, and say nothing.<br /><br />Silence is acceptance; silence is tacit approval. When they start coming forward and saying "my fellow officer did <i>x</i>, and that's wrong," <i>then</i> I'll count them as "good cops."davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13579043129470256468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-12161691810290792572016-07-21T09:56:35.111-05:002016-07-21T09:56:35.111-05:00So long as the police are used as enforcers they a...So long as the police are used as enforcers they are going to be hated by those they use force against. Instead of being the face of propriety and justice they have become the very symbol of enforcing injustice. This situation will continue so long as "laws" granting special privileges or prohibiting consensual behavior continue to poison the civility of our society.mark leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05664390381774473222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-30215160731871528402016-07-21T08:27:21.619-05:002016-07-21T08:27:21.619-05:00Somebody needs to get a message to law enforcement...Somebody needs to get a message to law enforcement that the military gear isn't going to protect them. If anything it makes them more of a target- they are also being targeted by the federal government, in anticipation of using them for more violations of our liberties.<br />What kept the American police officer alive and healthy was an armed populace. If your community knows you are a good officer, they'll have your back. If they know you are a bad cop, or are too angry to stop and think about it- well, even APVs are a target. They are a hard target, but if you are sitting in a sea of angry people, eventually they'll stop it and burn you out.<br /><br />I am afraid the current impulses coming from the right and left will lead to something like Gaza. If politicians gave it any thought, they'd actually be kind of jealous at the high degree of control the Israeli politicians have over their voters by having a captive boogeyman population around. Unfortunately, there also corporations already selling these sorts of solutions, and government programs- like H.U.D. or section 8 housing have already created these large impoverished areas. It won't be one wall that the Mexicans pay for, but many paid by us.<br />It is really important the police realize they should have their back up coming from their own communities, and not from these governments that routinely pass illegal laws. Indeed, if they were really protecting and serving, they'd be arresting the crooks who try to steal from us via the state.Augusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758314961163692341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-85489653840978117042016-07-21T06:56:20.739-05:002016-07-21T06:56:20.739-05:00You're right Peter.
