2 California deputies shot in apparent ambush in patrol car

there’s no sense in risking your life for a country that despises you.

I still see the sense in it. Those who do not, should have taken another career path from the start.

LASD caught lying about their brutalization of a peaceful protester and journalist at the hospital, also caught trying to destroy evidence. Cops never change.

This level of bigotry is disturbing, and rather ironic. No one who says “Cops never change” have the integral moral authority to protest bigotry in others. To stand up against bigotry in society, one must first remove the beam of prejudice from one’s own eye.

In a pure sense I’d agree. But modern labor unions are so infested with corruption and so misguided they need disbanded and started fresh.

Any mob blocking a hospital entrance or blocking a highway or bridge thus tying up traffic, some of which is bound to be emergencies, such as ambulances, pregnancies, police 911 calls, should be met with full force to be cleared out as quickly as possible. Start with tear gas and take it from there. If anyone disagrees with this ask me them how they would feel if it was them or a family member whose emergency was unattended to because some mob decided to tie up traffic or hospital entrances.

Lol they weren’t blocking anything, if anyone was blocking the parking lot entrance it was the line of cops standing there. Given how quickly they brutalized a credentialed reporter at the hospital and given how generally violent police become when one of them gets shot if these protesters were doing anything wrong they would have been attacked. That’s why they tweeted that out, they were mad they couldn’t do anything and wanted to farm some sympathy points.

I pray you, and all the rest of your liberal counterparts, never have to know what a society without police is like. They do a job that the majority of people are not brave enough to do. When we run from a mass shooter, they’re running towards him. When the World Trade Center was under attack, and people were desperately fleeing for their lives, police and other first responders entered those burning buildings looking for survivors, knowing that they were not likely to come out again.

God bless our police for their dedication to keeping the peace. They don’t need any additional training. Parents have 18 years to teach their kids that rioting, looting, robbery, arson, burglary, assault, and murder are wrong. If they fail to take in that message, that’s not the fault of the law enforcement officer. If someone resists arrest and gets shot, he’s an idiot, not a victim.

The police should all quit their jobs so we learn our lesson, it’s the only way. Also, I’m not a liberal.

If someone resists arrest and gets shot, he’s an idiot, not a victim.

This is a good reminder that a significant number of Americans believe cops being able to challenge you to a game of Simon Says and murder you if you lose (or to be fair if you win too) is a good thing.

If tomorrow, there were no police, some would still do the work of protecting their community. Criminals would still find police ready to protect the weak. Who would stop them?

Therein is the misunderstanding of anarchy. If a man serving as police can break the law and use excessive force, the store owner, the neighbor, the relative, of a victim would be able to use all the excessive force he wanted, without breaking the law. There could be no civil rights violation, as there would be no one to enforce even an extreme violation of civil rights. Anarchy is not freedom from oppression. Anarchy is a complete freedom for any degree of oppression people can get away with.

Isn’t that an issue for the members (assuming laws are not being broken)?

 

[RhodesianSon]

I’m not content letting people self regulate when they wield enormous political influence that runs contrary to what I believe to be right. Luckily for them I’ll never have the power to do anything about it though.

One of the victims, Claudia Apolinar, likely Hispanic name. You know, there were some pictures released. I saw her handling the situation (see story), from pictures, standing up and she looked like she was bleeding from the jaw area. That’s confirmation on where her injury was, shot in the jaw.

I still have not heard the name of her partner. She made a tourniquet for him.

So, God bless she and her partner; and Lord please protect peace officers doing their duty.

Heavy.com does appear to have some of those photos of what these officers went through. Search for her name.

What about federal law enforcement? Should they quit, too?
How about the US military?
Do you also think Americans should not be allowed to own firearms?

This is a good reminder that a significant number of Americans believe cops being able to challenge you to a game of Simon Says and murder you if you lose (or to be fair if you win too) is a good thing.

It is this kind of misrepresentation of policing by the Democrat left that leads people to believe they can assassinate police officers.
