Cop worship is one of the areas where the right has it wrong. The state is not your friend and police are the principal force-projection apparatus of the state. They do the bidding of the government and enforce laws as written, not the principles or values which they (allegedly) represent.
Picture if you will, were there no police interference, a horde of armed parents descending like the hammer of god on the shooter in defense of their children. The shooter would have counted himself lucky to have had time to eat one of his own bullets before those parents had their way with him.
They used to be the other way around. The problem is that the left subverted the meaning of what it is to be a cop from "good guy who catches bad guys" to "government worker enforcing law". Globally, countries have moved away from local coppers to law enforcement officers, and the spirit changed with the name.
I don't think it was wrong to support police along with the rest of emergency services. It was a difficult, mostly-thankless job with high risk. More importantly, it used to be the case that a community was policed by someone from that community.
Like all changes stemming from globalist/city policy and culture, the one-size-fits-all solution fits everything poorly. The international/globalist police officer is no different.
When? Even for all soviet propaganda of good guys from militia (yeah, the irony of Soviet Union calling their law enforcement boots 'militia') I got to read in my childhood, the cold harsh truth here is that "good cops" are inherent minority.
As was the case here. A cop being local to community does not make him any more caring about said community.
The past- probably before you were born if that's your opinion. Of course, it's going to vary from region to region, but it used to be that your local cop grew up there, knew everyone, and was expected to enact justice in a fair manner because people are living, laws are dead. Bad apples were the odd one out, not the whole goddamn bunch.
A
copanyone will absolutely care more about their home than some rando who drives in from a couple towns over.Maybe in another place. Down here it was reality for longer than US existed in various incarnations. Granted, down here they have long learned to make sure local boots are not local born exactly to prevent good apples from doing anything useful.
