police

Nation needs soldiers, politics needs civilians.

The best thing to do when someone is trying to argue with you is to repeatedly state "Stay Away" and video record the entire event. You may need that video for the police afterwords when the aggressor starts fabricating fantasies about the event.

A primary purpose of the police is to enforce the delusions of those with lots of green paper.

Most people are like sheep. Nice, harmless creatures who want nothing more than to be left alone so they can graze. But then of course there are wolves. Who want nothing more than to eat the sheep.But there__ a third kind of person. The sheepdog. Sheepdogs have fangs like wolves. But their instinct isn__ predation. It__ protection. All they want, what they live for, is to protect the flock.

If peaceful protesting really worked, the need to peacefully protest would have subsided to almost zero a long time ago! Instead, the thing that has subsided to almost zero are the number of complaints filed against police officers that are actually upheld.

If you can't experience the humanity of people who don't look like you, you're not civilized enough to be an officer of the peace.

Is it possible for white America to really understand blacks_ distrust of the legal system, their fears of racial profiling and the police, without understanding how cheap a black life was for so long a time in our nation__ history?

Corrupt and incompetent police officers have a long history of being protected by their colleagues, police internal affairs and the government.

My mother__ father, Grandfather Thieme, the son of a railroad engineer, looked quite dapper as a young man. Prior to 1933 the Hamburg Police Department consisted of 21 units, with 2,100 men. My grandfather was a Polizist with the Sicherheitspolizei or uniformed policeman with the department. Later, with an expansion of the Hamburg Police Department to 5,500 men and the formation of an investigative branch, he was promoted to the esteemed position of a Kriminalbeamte inspector. He rose to the rank of Chief of Detectives, and had a reputation of being tough, and not someone you could mess with. Having a baldhead and the general appearance of Telly Savalas, the late Hollywood movie actor, I don__ think anyone did. An action story and part of my grandfather__ legacy was when he chased a felon across the rooftops of prewar Hamburg, firing his Dienstpistole, service revolver, as he made his way from one steep inclined slate roof to the next.Of course, Grandpa got his man! Even with this factual tidbit, there isn__ all that much I know about him, other than that, at the then ripe old age of sixty-four, he peacefully died in his chair while reading the evening newspaper.

Reading isn't an occupation we encourage among police officers. We try to keep the paperwork down to a minimum.

You couldn't be satisfied with being an amateur asshole, could you, Jimbo! You had to go and turn pro on me!

People think someone's going to come from outside and cure the problem. People think a messiah will come. No. They key to success is to strengthen what's local.

Terrorism is the use of violence or intimidation in the pursuit of a political aim. The highest political aim is the creation and enforcement of law. Cops use violence and intimidation to enforce law. Therefore, all cops are, by definition, terrorists.

Oppressors specialise in rasing wolves from amonst the sheep then together with the wolves devour the sheep

The Democratic Party would like to be re-elected so that they can continue to uphold almost no Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) whistle-blower complaints, enforce hardly any police internal affairs allegations, and corrupt corporations with lobbyists can continue operating outside of the law.

It's not all about building police forces and more prisons. This is in a sense an abdication of what the rule of law is and in the same way that simply running to electoral processes has nothing to do with the true building of democracies. There's allot more to democracies then elections and there's allot more to the rule of law then law enforcement.

The police can use violence to say, expel citizens from a public park because they are enforcing duly constituted laws. Laws gain their legitimacy from the Constitution. The Constitution gains its legitimacy from something called 'the people.' But how did 'the people' actually grant legitimacy to the Constitution? As the American and French revolutions make clear: basically, through acts of illegal violence. So what gives the police the right to use force to suppress the very thing__ popular uprising__hat granted them their right to use force to begin with?

There is something about the state putting the power to bully into the hands of subnormal, sadistic apes that makes my blood boil.
