They should have thought about that before becoming a LEO. Life is not more valuable than this country being free.
So you are saying cops deserve to die due to their chosen career path? I believe in the value of a free country but I believe in those same officers have families like I do and if we can have freedom yet no dead people wouldn't that sound better?
If you believe in freedom, you should consider putting up with inconvenience in order to make the authorities earn their pay by doing things by the book.
Friends I do believe in freedom democracy and the defense of this country till the last drop of blood but I do Know there are too many evil spirited persons out there in a daily basis. So I don't judge an officer if he has distrust on those first 5 minutes of our conversation because he is following a natural instinct just as I would do if someone I don't know comes knocking on my door late at night.
I just believe America would be more crime free if we as citizens contribute to to keep the streets clean, by being coopearational with the boys in blue and not playing hardball with LE authorities just seems counterproductive to what the goal shall be =getting rid of unlawful people who don't care about society and its rules.
Ive seen many threads of speaking on how one shall be defensive against LEO,s about how they could plant something in our car that wasn't there, about police brutality, I've seen them all. Its this same mentality that has driven America to close its doors and windows every time a crime is committed and out of 20 witnesses none come forward because of that wrongfully implanted brain chip "The police will only get me in trouble".
We hire the police to keep the streets safe yet we give them a hard time when they are trying to do it? How will this help.
I'm willing to give up those 5 minutes so that officer can go on and and catch the real bad guy. To me sometimes giving up your rights for 5 minutes is not an unpatriotic because I failed to guard my right, but an act of unselfishness by thinking of others.
This is the same as a soldier giving up his right to live, to have a family and enjoy life while dying to defend his county are we to call him a slave too?
I think not. I'm sorry but Its time we start thinking in the consequences of what we do will have an implication on others. Its time people stop thinking in me me and only me and start doing the right thing in order to have what we all strive for a better place to live. Sorry for the long post
