Never forget what we have learned during this historical time in our great nation because we are taking it back. I am not saying those professions are not important but they are no more or no less important than any other job.

Fair enough.
One caveat, however - and this is the crux of my issue with police. It's not that they're generally worse than other people...
It's the potential power they wield. Remember what Lord Acton said about power? That it corrupts? The police's near monopoly on the use of force as a government tool/institution is terrifying.
I can't imagine the Founders intended a police state. Even if there are some good apples.
Go read John Whitehead if you have more curiosity about this perspective. And if not, well, please remember these conversations if/when it comes time to pick a side. Too many cops don't, I fear.
And also realize not every internet argument has to devolve into endless repetitions of name calling. Hell, some of us DO appreciate a good comeback, and someone who's willing to at least engage. (I wish more people did that. If you can crack on me and make me laugh in the process, that's pretty damn good I reckon.)
I already picked a side Fren. When the day comes I will do what all patriots must do.
And I'm not alone.
