Joe, I'm the guy you recently criticized for having harsh words about kops, and the spelling of the word cops.
Now, you did support my 1st amendment right, as I do you. This is not intended to be a bad comment to you in any way. I think we can still respect each other even if we occasionally disagree.
It seems to me, recently in fact, that you yourself have gotten on board with my criticising of kops as well. It is news and you publish news, but your comments seem similar to mine, to me anyway, even though yours might be less 'harsh'.
I'm not sure where I'm going with this comment, but actions like these 'cops' have been displaying is a nationwide problem and now it seems to have come out in the open in little ole Salisbury.
Some people think cops can do no wrong, and these people have had little to none interaction with them personally.
These same people think others are 'bashing' cops when in fact they are stating truths, known to people who have had interactions with them. And no, you don't have to get arrested or be a criminal to have bad interactions with police.
The internet, and court records, are full of stories about bad cops and their illegal, immoral and unnecessary actions.
Some get caught some don't. Some get punished, some don't. Mostly don't.
Now to be fair, there ARE some fine officers out there, and the few who have tried to take a stand against the bad ones have been punished themselves for doing so. Even putting their lives on the line for speaking out, from their FELLOW OFFICERS.
None of what I speak is any secret and can be found quite easily by an internet search or case history search.
Even if we don't agree, I salute you for having the backbone for publishing it.
I think it is fair to say that in the 9, 10, 11 years or whatever the amount of time you have been doing this, YOU ARE DELMARVA'S NEWS LEADER.
This has gotten longer than I intended, but I hope you get my meaning of it.
In closing let me say good job and Godspeed.
Peace.

I respect your perspective of things,but you need to take it a step farther.Given your opinion of the police you should never call them for help.That's fair isn't it?

ReplyDeleteWe wouldn't need to call the police if the Government hadn't made it illegal to protect yourself.
If I were to do what the police do when they are called it would be a crime.
Put on a badge and all the sudden its legal to protect yourself. Why the double standard? If we were allowed by law to do what the police do there would be little need for the thugs.
You sheeple are fools. Most of the police are sociopaths hyped up on testosterone induced rage. Not all, but most.
Some are in treatment for psychological illness and still carry multiple guns daily.
Wake up and smell the gunpowder, it's about power, authority and punishment if you disobey.
Then don't call.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you have to call the Police to have a record of the incident for Insurance purposes. Otherwise pretty much a waste of time. How often do you hear of stolen property being returned. Otherwise people wouldn't bother with theft insurance.
ReplyDeletePolice obviously have a valid place in our society. The problem has become that a small minority have forgotten their place and their brothers are not putting them in their place. Just as the military overstepped their boundaries in My Lai and Abu Ghraib and the perpetraters paid the price so should the police who mess up.
2:16... is right. the great majority of citizens DON'T ever "call the police".
ReplyDeleteBut sometimes, citizens are FORCED to call the police.
It doesn't negate or diminish our RIGHT to call them names, question their abilities, make fun of how short they are, or how they can combine arrogance and stupidity in ways that most people couldn't think of....
When you're strapped, somehow, someway, trouble seems to leave you alone....

Given 'my opinion', and others opinions as well, into account, why would you think we would WANT to call the police? Other than an attempt to display you smugness?
Each police dept., I don't care which ones, each and every one, should have a civilian oversight committee over them.
ReplyDeleteSome communities have these, yet others don't. It should be mandatory for all U.S. states.
Less corruption, less abuse. More community input. More community trust.
And stop the practice of having cops employed in a town or city that they do not live in. They have no real connection to the place or its' people, and don't know most of the citizens in it.
I think people are more predisposed to resist people they don't know, cops are not, and are strangers to the community.
