I take a differing view in that they are. MSP is the enforcement arm of the state regardless of Officers personal opinion and until there is a revolution on the force they are not on our side. I know many rank and file deputies here in the county through work and church. All good conservative God fearing pro-2A individuals. And each and every one of them will kick down your door in the middle of the night and probably shoot your dog. And they are the good ones. I read an article earlier this year titled something like the “Police are not your friend”. Basically it details how grandpa in his walker gets blown away. It’s stylized but unfortunately true if you look up all the reports all over the country. Christ the EPA even has SWAT teams now.
We seem to forget the images of Boston with thousands of police officers kitted out like the 10th Mountain Division dragging citizens out of their houses looking for the bomber. All good conservative God fearing pro-2A individuals who would have blown away the first resident that answered their door with a shotgun because they were protecting their residences against a mad bomber on the loose.
And this doesn’t count the gun ho militaristic ones that have the ego behind the badge. There are plenty of them on MDShooters. Every time I see a police abuse thing I think of a thread I read on here a while back about a guy that called the cops about a vacant neighborhood house and stayed armed waiting for them to show up. To say he got castigated by an “Operator” would be an understatement. The Operator in no uncertain terms stated he would blow away anything, he even remotely thought was a threat. What bothered me more was the pile on from other members that knew the operator and yet I’ll bet that the Operator was a good conservative God fearing pro-2A individual.
People are what people do and it is what it is. At the line Officers follow orders, that’s their job. And until they turn in the badge as a matter of principle they are not on my side or anyone else’s in this gun debate. They WILL be on the team kicking down your door. When they do it doesn’t really matter that five out of ten of them men in the black masks support your right to carry.
This is a situation that I think Police have devolved to everywhere, its sad.
