Watching The Cops Title: We Need More Bad Cops (ANTIMEDIA) A good cop is a cop who is good at his job, right? So let’s review what a cop’s job is, and what a cop’s job is not. A cop’s job is to enforce the law, no matter how unjust, using force to punish anyone caught disobeying. A cop’s job is not to protect and serve. The Supreme Court admitted in Castle Rock v. Gonzales that the police are under no legal obligation to protect anyone. That phrase, “To Protect and Serve,” written on the side of their vehicles? Just a PR slogan. Their actual job description is to enforce laws; not to prevent harm, but to make sure that anyone caught disobeying arbitrary legislation written by corrupt politicians is punished by any means necessary, whether by something as “mild” as the threat of violence, all the way up to and including execution on sight with absolute impunity. And there is now a growing trend in which cops are going above and beyond the call of “duty,” and preemptively harassing, attacking, and executing innocent people before they even get a chance to break any kind of law. Bravo officers, you get a paid vacation for your efforts! So why do we need more bad cops? Well, if a good cop is one who obeys orders and enforces the law without question, then we are in dire need of more bad cops — cops who will use reason, morality and logic, who will not follow orders, and who will stop the good cops from being so good at their jobs. But such “bad” cops are just about extinct, due to the fact that when a cop starts to become bad at his job and better at being a good person, and steps in to stop the violence of his or her fellow coworkers — or even just speaks out against it — he or she is usually bullied, ostracized, intimidated, and threatened into resigning. This was the case with Sergeant Mark Benjamin of the Atlantic City PD, and New Albany police officer Laura Schook, both of whom spoke out against police abuse and corruption. And when “bad” cops can’t be forced to resign, they will often be fired outright for making the department look bad, as was the case with officer Cariol Horne, who stepped in to stop fellow officer Gregory Kwiatkowski from beating and choking a handcuffed man. For her troubles she was assaulted by officer Kwiatkowski, and then fired. This horrible cycle creates a sense of fear amongst the blue mafia: cops are scared to do the right thing. What does it say when cops are more afraid of each other than they are of being an accessory to harassment, assault and murder? A good cop is a bad person. So here’s hoping to seeing more bad cops on the streets!

The cops in my extended family who made a point, on camping trips to Southern Colorado, of stopping at the Ludlow memorial and explaining what happened there to their kids didn't think it was just a slogan... back circa 1968. They also understood the motives of communist agitating Useful Idiots like you, comrade Infowarbler. Were they good cops or bad ones?
#2. To: VxH (#1) Cop families are usually very drunk and violent AND are the only people other then the equally loathsome politicians who defend the porker pig cop thug empire.
#3. To: TEA Party Reveler (#2) (Edited) Cop families are usually very drunk and violent Never saw my dad or any of the coworkers in his circle of friends drunk. The consequences of alcohol abuse was something else they took the time to talk to their kids about. What did you get court-martialed for?
#4. To: VxH (#3) What did you get court-martialed for? Stupidity? "The biggest mistake that libertarians make is the way they view government and private sectors. Government is the root of all evil, and the private sector is the source of all good. Libertarians have never figured out that people are the same whether in the government or in the private sector." --Paul Craig Roberts #5. To: Palmdale (#4) (Edited) Stupidity? Useful Idiocy maybe. "The fire is in the minds of men, not on the roofs of houses" What would the state-establishment do without Super Geniuses like TeePeeRoller to justify its growth?
#6. To: Deckard (#0) The article is not worth much reading by the causal reader other than to excite their respective already pre-formed ideas, pro vs. con, stimulating entertainment of the comments. Everyone must admit, however, that the below article's conjecture is misplaced:
The Supreme Court admitted in Castle Rock v. Gonzales that the police are under no legal obligation to protect anyone. That phrase, “To Protect and Serve,” written on the side of their vehicles? Just a PR slogan. The police are under contract to a government body; the body may be local, county, state or federal. The police are not under contract to the People or otherwise known as tax-slaves to an out of control government entity. As a result, no matter what situation is found, formal and designated police bodies always protect and serve their immediate paycheck masters. In any emergency, they attempt to protect designated government facilities/personnel FIRST; the police force could give a turd for the wee-wittle-folks earnestly poking away at promoting their individualized style of life with family, friends and colleagues. Similarly, don't you question election endorsements by police organizations? Why do these organization pretend to endorse freedoms and liberties for the People when (in fact) all they perform is continued police state mentality that should positively kick them out of any police duties in the first place. You said a lot in your article. I do not want to spend more of your time at the moment with a brief comment.
#7. To: Deckard (#0) " For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
