: I didn't run that fast. I have no problem with the police motorcade or escorts or whatever they refer to them as, or black wreaths, or black bands over the badge, I simply make the point that if police or firefighters feel that their jobs are too dangerous, quit and get another job. I also feel that worship of police is the wrong thing for society, since their constraints on our behavior is what makes the police necessary to a large degree. In other words, we are not allowed to defend ourselves, or at least discouraged from doing such using lethal means. If we do, even when justified, we will likely be arrested, and processed, and hopefully acquitted. Contrast that to the increasing number of cases of police shooting unarmed citizens, (someone reached for their wallet in N.Y., and was shot 19 times (of 41 shots fired), one of the shots piercing the foot from bottom to top, indicating that the person was lying down at the point that the shot was fired, i.e., he died after being hit the first 12 times or so and dropped like a rock, yet the police continued to shoot at a man armed only with a wallet.) These cops are put on paid leave, then subsequently aquited. http://www.courttv.com/trials/diallo/index.html "Officers cleared in Diallo shooting After 23 hours of deliberations over three days, an Albany jury found all four officers not guilty of all charges in connection with the shooting of Amadou Diallo. The Feb. 25, 2000, verdict sparked protests from supporters of the family, lawmakers and the Rev. Al Sharpton." http://cgi.cnn.com/US/9902/05/police.shooting/ http://www.refuseandresist.org/resis...9nypdkill.html These are not the people to be worshipped. Their past indicated problems. All officers are not good people. NO ACCOUNTABILITY. They wantonly kill, they get a vacation, they get back pay, and they get their former positions. These are not the kind of people to worship. http://www.courttv.com/archive/natio...o/autopsy.html Read the autopsy report, oops, the officers made a simple mistake, they deprived an unarmed man of his life. **** happens. These are not the kind of people to be worshipped. Support (not worship) honest, hard working, well tempered officers. They exist, by the legions. Oppose the kind of officers described above. Demand that your local police (via your city government) purge this kind of riffraff from their ranks. Don't make the mistake of becoming infatuated with the unfettered support of law enforcement. Accountability is the answer to assure that your friends and relatives survive those inevitable encounters with the law. You wouldn't want your wife or daughter pulled over by the likes of those reprobate officers from N.Y. (those described above, not all N.Y. Officers) Regards. Oh, hit and run, eh????? Well, being a firefighter and previous medic, I DON'T KNOW. I didn't make those rules. Maybe an old timer can answer that. I'm too young to know why that tradition started. I feel soldiers have the same rights as well! They're defending our honor and freedoms. G.W. |
