ACAB
Cops: we don't get to pick and choose what laws we enforce.
Also cops:
That's cool. I'll ignore federal law too since I'm now a constitutional lawyer and scholar. Not really but that's how dumb they sound.
That is not how the rule of law works at all.
Yeah, this is where "law and order" is diametrically opposed to "rule of law". These people feel like they can do whatever in their fiefdoms, free of the law applying to them. I'm not comfortable with the "ACAB" slogans, but when I encounter LEO like this that are getting too big for their britches, it makes it hard not to believe that there is something fundamentally wrong with the institution of policing.
"law and order" is and always has been a euphemism for "beat up black people"
Or those damn poors! Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference through all that grime ...
Just a reminder to arm yourselves against the cops. They're not going to give up their power quietly. 5.56/.223 are excellent for piercing plates.
The group, known as CSPOA, teaches that elected sheriffs must “protect their citizens from the overreach of an out-of-control federal government” by refusing to enforce any law they deem unconstitutional or “unjust.”
“The safest way to actually achieve that is to have local law enforcement understand that they have no obligation to enforce such laws,” Mack said in an interview. “They’re not laws at all anyway. If they’re unjust laws, they are laws of tyranny.”
Not like that
