The war on terror has essentially turned police into occupying armies in some American communities, said a police and criminology expert.
Thomas Nolan, an associate professor of criminology at Merrimack College and former senior policy analyst with the Department of Homeland Security, said the focus of police work had shifted greatly since he was a Boston police officer in the 1980s and 1990s.
“I remember it being drilled into me as a police officer, as a sergeant and then as a lieutenant: partnership, problem-solving, and prevention – the three Ps,” Nolan said Wednesday during a panel sponsored by the American Constitution Society.
He said police were heavily trained to form alliances to help them to better serve and protect communities, and he said those relationships clearly don’t exist in Ferguson, Missouri.

Well, no $hit. Shaved heads, IBA, an arsenal in their trunks, shoot first and shoot those with questions and their dogs later, not being above stealing your property and if it can't be lifted or driven then destroyed and God help those in their ranks that don't support their "brethren" in nefarious activity. All of this will make it harder for the hollow badges and their families to survive "shtf".

DeleteMaybe the most disgusting of all.
Agreed, it is the most disgusting. Further proves the "us or them" mantra of their "warrior" mindset.

DeletePrecisely, though not for all of them, but seems those who qualify are increasing each day.
They had better fear the day when SHTF, there are a lot of quiet, low profile nobodies out there with a very bad attitude and a score to settle. They are not about to forgive and forget.
ReplyDeleteThey are not about to forgive and forget.
DeleteI am sure.
The only real WOT going on with our lawless Govt. is the one against the American people:

Treats for the peasants.
DeleteHmm, Boston PD in the 80s n 90s, does the name James Bulger ring a bell? The fourth P was omitted, that of Payoffs.
ReplyDeleteJust read up on him. Thanks.
DeleteThe police cars here in Asheville, NC use to have "Serve & Protect" painted
ReplyDeleteon the vehicles - not any more. If the cops don't 'serve and protect' anymore,
than what is their job? There is nothing left for them to do.

DeleteVery telling and a crying shame.
