Get the document but all but two words are blacked out and those are "the", "a". You are apparently all for transparency of citizens to the police/government but not the other way around. |

Well good. Out of these last five paragraphs, only the last one has any merit. I've been a cop for many years now and I can say with confidence that I've never done anything job related that I knew to be wrong. We do think for ourselves and we think that we are helping to make people accountable for their actions and help out those who would be victimized by others. It's a difference and a purpose that not many people can say is a result of their profession. Just because you don't agree personally doesn't change those facts. -- --- jaybird --- I am not the cause of your problems. My actions are the result of your actions. Your life is not my fault.

Of course, you define right and wrong the way the government tells you. You've made that clear many times. You fail my test because you allow the government to define it for you. (on that point you've been clear, that your view of right and wrong is what government tells you the law is) In doing so, there essentially isn't a sense of right and wrong. If the government wants you to do something wrong, it just tells you it's right. The history of man consists of great evils being carried out by men who were told by their governments those actions were right. > We do think for ourselves Your posts don't give that impression. > and we think that we are helping to make people accountable for their > actions I'd love to be able to hold cops accountable for theirs. > and help out those who would be victimized by others.

Driving is just an illustration of a much greater problem. The subservision of your profession is key to the success of ending this late 18th century experiment in liberty. The next is turning people against each other and not having them understand what liberty is. To finishing changing the minset such that obeying is a greater virtue than free thought. |
