How did I make it personal? It's too bad you feel that way but If my identifying a certain mindset of a group of individuals is "making it personal" then I don't know what to tell you. Oh, and I'm no hero, just somebody calling b#llshit where it's due. You self-identified with a term that is reserved for a very select few units/men. You are not a member of those units or you would know better than to toss that term around so casually.So now you want to get personal, okay dude, that's usually what folks like you do when they are running out of argument points. Get personal hero, it's your world the rest of us cower in your shadow. I served on a SWAT team with former military personnel and none of them had the attitude you do. Congratulations on saving the world buddy.BRI,
Dude, you can justify your ramping up of weaponry as vehicles all you want. Fact is, since 9/11, LEO all across the country at all levels have been in a frenzy of militarization. Do you deny that?
And as far as your comments about MIL dudes f#cking up, of course they do. The HUGE difference is that we police our own. You all pull up the Blue Wall and never publically ridicule the jacked up actions of another officer. Other than the dude in TX whom posts his disciplinary actions on Facebook, I have never seen it. It's ironic in this case that you mention the actions of a few. In my experience, the silence from your side of the fence once Thin Blue Line is in effect, is deafening. Show me some cases where an officer publicly called bullsh#t on something a fellow officer did.
Take the idiots in CA who lit up the two paper delivery ladies, mistakenly thinking it was Dorner. Oops, turns out it was two women in a pickup delivering newspapers. Those f#cktards got remedial training. What do you suppose the charges would be for me? Prison, that's what. Too many of your kind operate with impunity and citizens are injured, mamied and killed all the time becuase of it. All becasue of absolute fear, lack of training and the "I'm going home at night, no matter what" mindset (see example above).
Until you (LEO at all levels) realize that you are a major componenet of the problem, we'll continue down this road.
While we're on the military theme, I noticed in another thread that you were an "Operator." AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA. You most certainly are, or were not an Operator. Just becasue you jocked up/played dress up, stacked up and kicked doors does NOT make you an Operator. Sure sounds like you want to be one though. Thanks for furthering my point.![]()
Not sure where you were going with the whole "cower in your shadow" came from but that's just ridiculous. I don't think I'm some bad-assed super hero running around saving the day. Paint me as whatever you want to though so long as you can keep detracting from the fact the the militarization of the Police is out of control.
Watch the vid lo country posted. It's a parody of all the "Operators" running around out there now. Maybe that will help you understand.
Edit: Why didn't you just ID yourself as a SWAT dude and leave the Operator part out? OK, I just re-read muy post and I can see where you think I was getting personal. My apologies if you thought the terms applied to the fools in CA were meant for you. They were not. As for the operator part? That point still stands.
