Yea, I Read Cop Blogs

The title says it all, I follow the blogs of a few cop who catch my interest some of them have discontinued their blog. I think this might have to do with the police department politics, their protecting their butts from becoming a scapegoat of a brown-noser.

Not all cops are bad people, there are those who make the good cops look bad. The cops job is to enforce laws made by over educated elected officials, who don't have any respect for the people who pay their salaries.

COP in the days of old was the word of respect, at least that's how I understood it. It meant constable on patrol. These constables protected the people from acts of violence, They didn't arrest some one by what they possessed to consume, but for how they treated other individuals.

This is the link to Beat and Release I read his blog and he has an interesting take on Pima County's excessive use of deadly force done earlier this month. This cop's perspective brings to questions concerning the damages and death that result from our prohibition policies.

 

"A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded."
-- Abraham Lincoln, December 8, 1840

"Penalties against drug use should not be more damaging to an individual than use of the drug itself. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use."
-- President Jimmy Carter, August 2, 1977
