So, I don't.
There are many harmful things in the world. Disease, natural disasters, a variety of bad characters, thieves, and bullies. Cops are just one of many. You'd go crazy focusing on all the bad stuff.
Yes, police are a cancer on society, but just like other forms of cancer, they aren't going to magically go away tomorrow. I accept this fact and ignore the Blue Line Gang most of the time.
The biggest problem, the one which makes me speak out, is that here you have a deadly cancer ... that people worship! What's up with that?
That nonsense demands a response.
Those who worship and defend the cancer justify themselves all manner of disingenuous ways: It's not "worship"- cops are "necessary"- they don't make the evil "laws" they enforce- what will you do when you "need" a cop?- they know a "good cop"- it's just the "bad apples"- cops are all that stands between civilized people and chaos. And so on. Yeah, some copsuckers actually believe the silly things they say.
That's why it is important to keep telling the truth, no matter how upset "the public" gets, or how many times cops and their fan club threaten you. If they would shut up and grow some decent principles and stop supporting those bad guys, people wouldn't need to call them out for supporting evil. But they won't, so we do. And it is a little irritating, because I have better things to do. But cops are where the boot heel of tyranny meets the human face- without them, no dictator would ever be more than a local annoyance who would last a short time until someone gets fed up and shoots his nasty noggin. Cops enable evil tyrants. And, if you support cops in any way, so do you.

Like you, I'm amazed that so many Americans worship cops, in spite of the overwhelming evidence, right in our faces, of how rotten the institution is. It's not just that they murder people on the flimsiest of pretenses, it's the way they high-five each other after they've done it. They, and they alone have made it Us vs. Them, and we the people will either take it or stand up for ourselves against them.
ReplyDeleteGreat column; you're one of the few who tell it like it is.
Thank you. I tell it like I see it, and I hope that usually reflects "like it is".
