The media and politicians are trying to create a problem between the People's Convoy truckers & all truckers and the police e.g. in DC, this is bogus, the police are terrific, I support the blue here
From all I know, the police and the People's Convoy have had a great relationship and work well together...I always defend the police especially when antifa and anyone attacks or kills our police
I think govns have not done enough to protect the police and defend them, they and our military people are the real heroes, our fire fighters, our border agents…these people risk their lives…are the best. our veterans…the best.
Never defund the police, no, fund them more, help them…
The left attacks things we love until they break and assimilate them. Remember how they used to be anti-military? They fought military spending and called soldiers baby-kilkers and rapists? Now it's all quiet because the left got rid of the good soldiers at the top and are now indoctrinating the forces with Marxism and compulsory vaxxes. NASCAR, Churches, public schools, private schools, this is the left's modus operandi. Now they've turned it on the police.
That said, as much as I support police and they've helped us in the past, they are now following unlawful orders and shooting themselves in the foot. They know blocking access to DC is illegal and unconstitutional, just like enforcing covid mandates. Shame on them.
With no disrespect Dr. Alexander, I disagree.
Being for or against police, is as naive and missing the point as being for or against war.
One should be for police when they are defenders of people's rights, safety from crime, and upholders of the law. One should recognize that when police act against the law to enforce government fiat, as in Canada recently, they become state thugs. One should in this context, be for police and against state thugs.
But our enemies use the same word for both.
Same with war. We should be against war when its a con to exert more control and remove our freedoms and rights and for it when the cost of not fighting it is higher than the cost of fighting it. One should measure costs carefully, and certainly include things like rights and freedoms as costs.
It makes sense to wage war to protect them when they are threatened. It makes sense to be against wars like, well present war Ill leave to you all do calculate. But let's say Clinton's Brutal war on Serbia where all infrastructure was taken out in a few days and no civilians had water or electricity. Something the Russians have not done in Ukraine but could have.
So when being for or against an institution, think instead on what you mean by that institution.
