“There appears to be a misapprehension as to the position of the police of Boston. In the deliberate intention to intimidate and coerce the government of this Commonwealth a large body of policemen, urging all others to join them, deserted their posts of duty, letting in the enemy. This act of theirs was voluntary, against the advice of their well-wishers, long discussed and premeditated, and with the purpose of obstructing the power of the government to protect its citizens or even to maintain its own existence. Its success meant anarchy. By this act, through the operation of the law they dispossessed themselves. They went out of office. They stand as though they had never been appointed."

It's awful and shameful what the DA is charging the Atlanta officers with and the officers are right to be furious.

It's awful and shameful to allow innocent people (who fund your salaries) to get robbed, murdered, and have their homes burned down because you don't like what the DA did.

Quit, don't strike. The officers responsible for public safety striking at the cost of innocent people is no different than a hostage situation.

It isn't conservative or small government to support agents of the state (cops) directly allowing the public to suffer while they are taking the public's money
