Okay... what the hell is going on here? Lately on that wonderful social site, I've seen way too many postings about how cops are enforcing unjust rule by some imperial government and should be fought. Some compare them to the stormtroopers from the star wars films. Some compare them to the Jaffa from the Stargate franchise. Ok let's take a look at this. The stormtroopers were clones devised to be unquestioning in the loyalty to the government. They, in turn, had no individual soul to speak of and weren't really people. (I suspect Lucas did this deliberately to justify his heroes killing so many people). The Jaffa were enslaved by their false gods and were literally bred to be dependent on them. So if you're going to try and use sci fi franchises to justify your arguments (I can't believe I just said that), make sure you know them before you try to take ME on. You're so far out of your league otherwise it's not even funny.
To the meat of the matter. Why do you seem to hate cops? I remember in elementary school, we were taught that cops are our friends. We were taught that if we needed help in an emergency and one of those men and women in blue showed up, we could go to them for help. So what happened? What earth-shattering moment changed your mind on our police force.
"They gave me a ticket." Well... what were you doing that you got a ticket? Oh you were driving 20 over the speed limit... I see... do you feel powerful? Does the fact that you can drive faster make you a better human being? Is it a marketable skill? Here, try mentioning it to a potential employer during and interview. "I have 3 years experience in this field. I can learn quickly. I'm highly punctual. I'm a good people person. I can drive 20 mph faster than the speed limit." Speaking as a manager... you're not getting hired.
"They're going to take away my guns." Ummmm.... I have yet to hear a story from someone who actually had the cops come to their house and remove their firearms. The only story I've heard so far of someone losing a weapon they've already purchased was when they pawned it off. During the month it was in pawn, the guy started beating his wife, because of that, he failed a background check. Now should this mentally disturbed violent man get his gun after threatening the life of his wife? Your answer will explain a lot about your views toward other humans vs your own selfish desires. Scumbag.
"Cops enforce the corrupt laws of the government" Ok this one I thought would be my favorite. I only just today heard one that angers me more than this one... but we'll get to that. Your entire objection here is based on the corruption of our leaders. You blame those who are simply doing their job. Can you even come up with those specific laws? Even during prohibition cops were better liked than they are now. What the hell guys? But here's the kicker, if you hate cops for this reason, you have no choice but to also hate our troops. Our troops are under the command of our government. They're conditioned to follow orders issued by our government. Failure to do so carries even worse punishment than when cops do it. So if you hate cops, you must hate our troops too.
Now for the worst one... the one single comment that angered me so much I had to write this blog.
"They took me to jail when I got my DUI." Ok... first off... were you drunk at the time? Oh you were... WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING!!!!!! Ok, news flash into the type of person I am. I have lost too many people to drunk driving. I've seen too many tears shed over those deaths. Tried to console too many friends who lost a loved one. I have no respect for you if you're driving drunk and then hold a grudge on the cop for picking you up. I never say this to people, so understand how much disgust and sheer rage I have for you when I say this. If you drive drunk and act like it's the cop's fault for catching you, then delete me from facebook, if I try to contact you just tell me no. I don't want to have anything to do with you. There's a part of me that wants to tell you to just eat a bullet instead, that way you only kill yourself, but I'm not that angry yet. Just don't do it... please...
