As conservatives, we pride ourselves on our unwavering support of the Thin Blue Line, on backing our cops against leftist slander, and yet stupid and evil people in law enforcement are putting that default thumbs-up from normal Americans at risk. It’s bad enough when we watch the ridiculous spectacle of Deputy Karren and Deputy Man-Karen yelling at some mom for committing felony play-dating, but then we see how the FBI has flat-out framed political enemies and it’s too much. If the LEO community does not police its own ranks and stamp out this nonsense, it might as well take all the goodwill it has earned over the years, douse it in cheap gasoline, and set it on fire.

A big chunk of society, mostly on the left, detests the police. It would be a really poor idea to convert the right to that point of view too. But that’s where these trends lead.

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. But the category of “People who violate our rights” also includes political hacks and bureaucratic petty fascists. 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. If doing that stuff was easy and safe, they would not get respect and be honored. 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.”

We’ve seen all these things happen or be threatened since the bat stew virus infected the Bill of Rights, perhaps fatally. 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. We will certainly support remedying such retaliation. But cops don’t get to do the wrong thing and still expect us to have their backs.

Many won’t play stupid games and they simply blow off dumb orders. I’ve witnessed police officers ignore all manner of Karen crimes, as they should. Bravo! We’ve seen a number of sheriffs stand up and refuse to enforce illegal and immoral orders from political hacks. Three cheers!

But then there are the Barney Fifes who, instead of saying “Hard pass” when ordered to dragging off some tattoo artist, comply instead. And that’s how we got a viral vid of two tubby constables hauling a guy to the pokey for trying to feed his family. Is that what LEOs signed up for? If so, we’re in trouble.

It’s a sad truth. Far too many of our LEOs are gutless drones who go along to get along, and it’s a disgrace.

And, to continue the theme of “disgrace,” we have yet to see one FBI agent throw his badge on the floor and walk out of the J. Edgar Hoover Building in disgust at what the Bureau did about FISA and Flynn.

We support the police; the police need to police their own to ensure they support us.

Here’s the thing – in an era where Democrats are increasingly attempt to leverage the power of government against their political enemies, this kind of passive acquiescence to manifest injustices is a real threat to the viability of this nation as a free country. Can anyone really calculate the damage the FBI and DoJ’s schemes and crimes have done to their reputations? And now local law enforcement is trashing its own rep with stupid antics designed to bully normal citizens.

So what happens if a leftist leader starts telling cops to arrest religious minorities for not conforming? How about to arrest people for speaking freely or protesting? What happens when one tells to police to break into citizens’ homes looking for guns? What happens if the politicians tell them to shoot anyone who resists?

Can’t happen? Really? May 4th was the 50th anniversary of Kent State, where four students were shot dead by soldiers while protesting. Without relitigating the incident, the leftist reaction on the anniversary was fascinating. Especially amusing was the ever-flatulent, nuke-curious Rep. Eric Swalwell lamenting how government security forces used guns on American citizens even as he apparently forgot that his dream is to ensure that only government security forces have guns.

After what we have seen lately, through cowardice, stupidity, and outright corruption, who can still be sure that there are not a significant number of LEOs today who would claim they were “just following orders?”

Poster Comment:

My wife and I have watched numerous police chases on YouTube and have been more than a bit disgusted with the required response to the end of a chase. As many as 30 police cars have been counted when the perp has finally been stopped. They all keep a great distance away with their pistols drawn, waiting for the perp to come out of his car and lie down on his stomach. All of this time while the officers are waiting for the perp to comply, traffic backs up, sometimes for almost two hours and prevents people from getting where they need to go. Absolutely never have I seen any officer act like the warrior we expect him/her to be, charge the car, blow out the window, and scare the hehl out of the perp to get him to comply. We expect our law enforcement men and women to be like the real life image of John Wayne, and I believe we have the right to expect that. What we do usually see is a lot of very overweight officers who do not seem to take their jobs very seriously or they would stay fit and trim.

I remember the very gracious sheriff's deputy in town a number of years ago who was about 6' 5" and 275 pounds of well-conditioned hard steel. That, my friends, is one dude who took his job seriously.

Dumb And Corrupt Cops Risk Losing Our Support

Stupid Article –

Dumb and corrupt cops should NEVER have been supported in the first place.

Only dumb and stupid people would have ever supported dumb and corrupt cops.

Expose both and immediately get rid of the dumb and corrupt cops and try to educate the dumb and stupid people in a humanitarian attempt to improve their mental facilities.

There ...

Why would the cop risk his life like that? More than likely the perp would make a wrong move and get blown away.

Then you'd be posting about the cop's "John Wayne" behavior causing the perp to react and why didn't the cop simply wait for backup.

Getting really pissed of by censorship on forums.

Your link is concerning Google forums...Liberty's Flame is privately owned...The owner has the right to do as he sees fit with his property.

stop whining!

Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen.
The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.

The article makes a good point, “John Wayne” hyperbole aside (no, I don’t want to see cops needlessly risk their lives to make a big theatrical ending to car chases).

I generally support the police, just as I support the US military and more generally the militaries of free allied countries: in a dangerous world, they are forces for good. This is true despite the occasional rogue cop or badly-executed mission that results in collateral damage. I accord the military and the police the a priori status of “good guys”, because I consider the alternative with out them, and don’t want that.

But I’ve said before, and will say again, the police are good guys who get some slack. But they don’t get unlimited slack. And when some behave like thugs, I expect the police to expunge those thugs from their ranks. If they don’t, and the bad behavior proliferates (which it seems to be doing), the police can lose my goodwill and that of the community. If that happens: budget cuts, reduced ranks and juries more and more willing to convict cops.

Good points throughout your comments.

Liberals are like Slinkys. They're good for nothing, but somehow they bring a smile to your face as you shove them down the stairs.
