Just saying, I believe we are going to have a REALLY BAD problem with Police

I bet in almost EVERY state! They have been recruited ( BRAINWASHED) by RUMP and pUNTIN (and the police UNION leader)! I wish there was a good answer to this. How can they (police chiefs AND sheriffs) get away with agreeing to community support from any side they choose to pick from? THIS has got to end! Never in my wildest dreams did i think this would happen!

Before the current conflagrations.

It’s only going to get worse.

Channeling my internal Kimberly here...(sorry for the shouting...LOL)

IF YOU ALIGN WITH TRUMP AS A MODERN DAY GESTAPO OR SS / SA...
IF YOU ABET A THEFT OF THE ELECTION VIA NEFARIOUS MEANS OR INTIMIDATION TACTICS...
IF YOU VIOLATE THE RIGHTS OF THE CITIZENS OR CONTRIBUTE TO CONSOLIDATING POWER UNDER A DICTATOR...
IF YOU ABUSE THE TRUST OF THE OFFICES AND BADGES YOU HOLD, VIOLATING OATHS IN THE PROCESS...

AFTER TRUMP IS KILLED / DIES / IS OVERTHROWN:

YOU WILL BE HUNTED.
YOU WILL BE FOUND.
YOU WILL BE TRIED.
YOU WILL BE CONVICTED.
YOU WILL BE HANGED.

YOU MAY NOT BURY YOUR UNIFORMS AFTER THE FACT.
YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE JUSTICE.
CHOOSE NOW...SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION AND DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES - IN A REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC - ... OR REAP THE WHIRLWIND.

IN THE END, IF YOU ALIGN WITH EVIL INTENT, YOU SUFFER ITS FATE, PERIOD.
NO QUARTER SHALL BE GIVEN.
NO CRIMES SHALL BE PARDONED OR FORGIVEN, YOU WILL PAY FULL FREIGHT FOR YOUR ACTIONS.

will be fine. The asshole who was with the police union and concurrent veep of the NRA is long gone and the current head of the police union is quiet.

Hope it stays that way.

Try the vigilantes, they are foaming at the mouth ready to find any excuse to go out and shoot anyone defying Trump's view of "Law and Order" . They are also getting support from the usual suspects like Tucker Carlson( the shooter was justified in maintaining order when no one else would) ( and Anne Coulter(She wishes the shooter was her president) I can't believe some of the things I have been reading in the news and some of the comments I have been reading on Facebook praising the shooter. It is complete insanity out there, and I worry it's it's going to get worse before it gets better. The RNC has done their job filling people with fear, and anger. I'm not sure what can turn things around. It's depressing.

He doesn't have the authority to send law enforcement to polling site, nor does law enforcement have the right to do it on their own initiative.

My problem is How the law enforcement are handling everything in their state. they are absolutely AGAINST everything involving FREEDOM to protesting! THIS is fucked up! THEY MOSTLY support RUMP!

when "what's right" and who has the authority hardly matters.

We've watched three days of multiple violations of federal law (the Hatch Act) brazenly committed in front of millions of television viewers. This is only the latest example of an absolute disregard of norms and laws and authority.

We've seen police harass and assault and kidnap and even murder American citizens knowing full well they are being recorded doing so.

What makes you think at least some in law enforcement won't answer the call in the guise of "saving America", and law and authority be damned?

cross-examination pressures as jury member.

The primary problem that I've seen, is the tendency to keep quiet in defense of the blue line. Also the culture of the given department is important.

There are some arrogant, rotten types. There are some good ones, some that avoid whatever they can.

We hear about some of the bad ones.

And THIS IS a big problem! I really feel there ARE good police, BUT they refuse to speak out as you say! It's more like the army, they will support their so-called brother!
