I haven't done a BAD COP, NO DONUT in a while. Let's catch up, shall we?

43. I used to be one of the most ardent supporters

of the police /deputies - no more. I have seen (in person), heard, read too many things that make me feel we are hiring the totally wrong people to be officers. They are not interested in peace and ensuring people are treated with respect and fairness - they want to shoot first and ask questions later.

The people joining the police now, especially with the equipment they are being given, are not interested in being fair and aiding society, they are much more like the Gestapo in their actions:

"The basic Gestapo law passed by the government in 1936 gave the Gestapo carte blanche to operate without judicial review—in effect, putting it above the law. The Gestapo was specifically exempted from responsibility to administrative courts, where citizens normally could sue the state to conform to laws. As early as 1935, however, a Prussian administrative court had ruled that the Gestapo's actions were not subject to judicial review. The SS officer Werner Best, onetime head of legal affairs in the Gestapo, summed up this policy by saying, "As long as the police carries out the will of the leadership, it is acting legally."
