See that's a police state jaybird. Where the people have to be
transparent to the government and the government is secret and powerful.

That's a denial. Then again, expecting a cop to understand anything is
like expecting my type writer to understand the words typed on it. Both
are just machines doing what they're told.

How about you become a thinking human being for a change instead of a
drone? Sure, they'll let out some traffic collision report or something
equally blah. Anything that might be harmful to them will be denied or
redacted or just outright falsified.

You just don't get it. With cops like you it's a wonder we aren't already
in a nation where people just disappear for political reasons.

You're welcome.... I guess. Read up on the Freedom of Information Act.
That'll tell you what's public and what isn't.

Dealing with people like you is what makes people like me appear that way.
You're throwing all kinds of insults, and always have, and I'm going to
defend against them. I know I'm honest in my job and I'm not going to let
people like you spread malice just because you don't like cops.

Ahh... the freedom of information farce... 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.

Exactly. Not answering a cops questions is reason for suspicion alone.

Side 2: 'That didn't happen'

Document on Albert Eistein's participation in a scientific project in the
1940s.



FBI document on Nicola Tesla.

These men were scientists / inventors. They've been dead for decades.

Note the date on the Telsa document, 1943.

The freedom of information act is a farce.

Insults? You don't like being called a drone? Because that's about the
worst thing I've called you and the only thing I can think of, perhaps
with different words from time to time, and that does nothing more than
refer back to your own 'just following orders' posts you make over and
over and over again.

Let me tell you something, you're a big part of the reason I "don't like
cops" as you put it. Actually, what it is, is I don't like drones. I like
thinking individuals. I dislike people who don't think. I don't like the
drone that does customer service for say, the cable company. But the
person working at the cable company isn't that big of deal. But cops
'just following orders' is a big deal.

You've shown me that cops are nothing more than drones doing what
government tells them to do, a government with a basic disregard for the
constitution and a mentality that whatever those on high say is right
and just. The insight you give is like that of the 'just following
orders' defense. I know that government cannot run amuck if the police
and military are full of thinking individuals, and not drones. People who
know right from wrong without the government telling them. But if either
or both are filled with drones, then we're doomed.

Given your posts jaybird, it's quite easy to believe if the government
said it was ok to round people up and put them in internment camps for
political beliefs or just resistance to say a forced vacination, or
whatever, you'd be there and do it with bells on. That's what I don't
like. People who just follow orders. Who don't see the government's
daily criminal actions and then aid it to carry them out. If that's a cop,
then, yes, I don't like them.

On the other hand, if a cop is someone who can think, doesn't lie, and
sticks to principles, doesn't just follow orders, resists doing things
he knows are wrong, then that would be a different story.

Suspicion, perhaps. I wouldn't be able to list it as a means for probable
cause for an arrest though.

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.

There isn't another 'side' because it lacks any kind of detailed story.
It's just a denial.

That's government ruling _over_ the people, not the government by the people
for the people.

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.

Your posts don't give that impression.

I'd love to be able to hold cops accountable for theirs.

Rarely. A person has to protect himself in this nation.

I don't know how bad things have to get before you wake up and realize
what's going on. 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.

Don't you mean, "*IF* I have enough to arrest you on"?
