"...Here’s the thing – we normals respect our police not merely because they have badges and funny hats but because they take personal risks to protect us from those who would violate our rights. Usually, these violators are criminals.
And we reasonably expect to be protected from those creeps too.
“But we might get suspended or fired!” is the response.
Well, yeah.
That’s correct.
And that’s immaterial.
We flat-out expect cops to run into gunfire to save lives, cowards like that Florida slug aside, just like we expect firemen to run into burning houses.
See, that’s the deal.
They get pay and prestige, honor and respect, because they do things other people can’t or won’t for the good of the community.
It’s like soldiers – the troops don’t get thanked for their service because their job is kick-back and safe.
So, we can surely expect them to pushback when some tool with sergeant’s stripes or chief stars tells them to oppress us.
For those LEOs who are confused:
- When someone tells you to tackle people for misdemeanor failure to social distance, we expect you to say “No.”
- When someone tells you to fly drones around scolding citizens, we expect you to say “No.”
- When someone tells you to walk through a church parking lot taking down plate numbers, we expect you to say “No.”
- When someone tells you to roll the SWAT team, with a complete with a Keystone Kop sniper up top, to confront the peril of a bunch of people protesting to reopen business, we expect you to say “No.”
- When someone tells you to hassle Jews for praying, we expect you to say “No.”
...And these atrocities have to stop.
Yes, the officer(s) resisting bullSchiff commands may get disciplined or fired.
Yes, doing the right thing sometimes has a cost..."
