The other side? The side opposite of Liberty? As long as Oaths were taken seriously and honored with fidelity, what other side needs consideration?
Ignoring that most officers see their own shadows as a threat for a second, this thread is composed of nothing but words. If words make officers fear for their lives enough to aggressively pursue violence, then it's time to have a serious discussion about getting rid of police.
I doubt this, given that some studies show nearly half of officers beat their spouses.
There is always a choice. Not always a convenient or good one, but there is always a choice.
So because someone is exercising their First Amendment-protected Rights to unequivocally assert they will not willingly give up their Second Amendment-protected Rights, scared men with authority will conspire to seperate you from both, if not your Life?
Land of the Free, huh?
And it's not the same decision. They are exact opposite decisions.
One is choosing to insert yourself into an immoral situation to visit violence and death on a fellow human being to coerce obedience to the scribblings of politicians.
The other is a choice to prevent such violence and death from making you a slave to those in power.
One is to go on offense and take the inalienable Rights of people by force.
The other is to defend one's Life, the lives of those he loves, one's Liberty and the Liberty of his children and millions yet unborn, and the pursuit of his own happiness and that of posterity.
You want to know how no one faces danger?
Law Dog doesn't hide his conscience behind a tin shield and keeps his ass at home instead of violently enforcing unjust and immoral laws. Then no one has to be scared. No one has to murder to make sure he goes home at the end of shift. No one has to hear bagpipes anytime soon.
With only the force necessary to
diffuse an incident or to protect themselves or others from harm.
Say it with me....... police officers are mere civilians too.
Once again, for those in the back: the police are mere civilians too.
Which is exactly why only a moron or overly sensitive boob of an officer could read any of it as a threat.
If anything, it's a "I don't want any trouble. If you likewise don't want any, and don't look to stir up any, then there won't be any" thread.
Exactly what I was hoping! Freedom of thought, and consideration of all facets of the decision that will eventually be made by all free Americans.
