Police Officers take an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution. 124 Police Officers died in the line of duty last year to insure the right of citizens to criticize them. Who ya gonna call when you hear that bump in the night, Jesse Jackson?
False, they died for a paycheck. A dangerous job sure...but their deaths wasnt FOR rights and shit. Cut it out
Sure it is. Cops protect your rights every day. It's not always directly either.
Many times they protect your rights by refusing to do stuff the mayor or governor may WANT to do....but cant...because they know the enforcement officers would refuse.
For example....here in Charleston a place called Sullivan's Island just a few years ago pass a law that BANNED SINGING in public...because rich people got tired of hearing young people walking from the bar district to the beach while whistling or singing. Not ONCE has it been enforced.
Just like the sagging pants law. Its ridiculous. Sadly....occasionally some moron enforces it. But overwhelmingly the law is ignored by cops who see it as being a stupid law. You wanna dress like a moron go for it.
I could do a whole thread on it. But people would be shocked at how many things they might be subjected to if cops didn't say "no" to their superiors. It's why our system is good because cops aren't military so they CAN say no without going to jail. Might get fired. Usually not. But they can't be ordered "do it or go to jail" like the military can....and that's one reason our Founders wanted sheriffs instead of military handling domestic law.
