From Five Feet of Fury:
I’ve read posts from patriots excusing police: ‘They were just following orders to stand down.’ That argument went out of fashion at the Nuremberg trials. I’m a former member of the Canadian Forces who went to jail 5 times for trying to walk down a Caledonia road with a Canadian flag.
Our Ontario Provincial Police stood by and allowed violent native thugs to terrorize an entire town for years, and I gave up my career in real estate sales to become a full time ‘rule of law activist’ to stop it. People were terrorized and beaten in their homes. Women were raped. Hydro station firebombed. Bridge burned. Rights violated. Because police and government decided appeasing violent people was better than enforcing the law.
Eventually, two books — including a bestseller — were written about Caledonia and our struggle to use Dr. King’s methods to restore the rule of law against the worst efforts of police, government, media, native thugs and anarchists/communists. Different names, but essentially the same gang of subversives the free-speechers in Berkeley are up against.
Well-meaning people said the same disgusting thing to us: “They’re just following orders, Mark.” As someone trained in the military, soldiers and — I would argue — police have a duty to disobey illegal orders.
Yes, even if it costs them their jobs, even if it costs them their pensions."GO READ MORE.
Punched my buttons! Looking at Berkeley as an example of police standing down in accord with "orders from above":
ReplyDeleteThe purpose of LEO is to enforce the law. If you wear the badge and the blue AND you refuse to enforce the law then you deserve absolutely no respect.
You have people standing up for their constitutional rights, risking bodily harm and worse. But you won't risk enforcing the law because you are beholden to your unions and paymasters. You might have to risk your little pension so you can't be bothered?
What kind of parasite are you? Don't you have any self-respect? Can't you at least turn in your badge and seek employment in a jurisdiction willing to pursue rule of law? And where do draw the line you won't cross? What happens when you are ordered to fire on uncooperative civilians? Are you still going to "follow orders". You better start thinking about this shit seriously because the day is coming when some of you will be tested.
If not you are nothing but a worthless slug in blue uniform wearing a badge you don't deserve and carrying a firearm you should not be entitled to possess. The Berkeley cops have failed the test: disarm the marchers and ignore the Antifa aggression. How do you assholes sleep at night?
You are voicing my internal anger there. Thanks.
