Oversight Needed

In connection with my last post:

Looking at the facebook and other social media profiles 
of our local law enforcement here in rural, Southwest
Georgia, it is painfully evident that not one of these 
souls is in any position to be an 'officer of the peace.'


Certainly they aren't in a position to be holding people's

lives in their hands with ultimate authority and loaded
firearms.

The profiles I saw (and mind you, this is only what is
available to the public) were filled with racist commentary,
pro-Trump diatribes against liberals, violent rhetoric, 
conspiracy theories, homophobia, religious extremism, and 
many more disturbing ideas and imagery.
An actual post from local law enforcement officer's facebook page

We all know you can't separate those kinds of feelings 
and positions from your working self, and in high-emotion
situations where people's true nature takes over...this is
a disastrous set-up.

There needs to be a watchdog group for keeping tabs
on those in law enforcement, jailers, security guards,
etc. and make certain they are fit for the job.
(We also have several firefighters with Klan connections/
involvement: The people who decide whether or not to save 
the lives of citizens are probably important to observe, too.)

We need monitoring, documenting, and taking action against 
the prejudicial and unfit behaviors and commentary of those 
who are entrusted to keep us safe. Because just like mass
shooters and other terrorists who leave a trail of warning
signs prior to committing atrocities, cops can be seen 'going'
bad from a mile away. 

If only someone were doing something about it...

Someone out there must be working on this, so if you are 
and need assistance, let us know. And if you are one of 
many groups/individuals currently doing this, let me
know so we can promote where people can find out more 
about their watchmen.

We need to coordinate this information and make it 
known far and wide. The Good Ol' Boys Club is in
need of being shut down. Time IS up.

Hiding in Plain Sight: The Keys to the Kingdom

agencies (officially) became a safe haven for white

In fact, it's intimidation, not respect.
And it isn't the job of our so-called
'law enforcement' agencies to intimidate
and suppress the public. Nor to administer
lethal force on a whim.

But it isn't a coincidence that America has
suffered such an extensive assault on our
freedoms, liberty, and lives by those in 
law enforcement.

The ever-increasing violence against citizens 
perpetrated by police has been sanctioned and
instructed by those in power. How else could
cops continue murdering innocent civilians in
broad daylight--on camera--and suffer no 
repercussions whatsoever?

No, this was all preordained.
The Powers That Be can't operate in a free and
vocal society, where the public readily and eagerly
makes their voice heard and opposes the
wrong-doing of the powerful.

So rather than try and obviously subvert the 
democratic republic, the shady behind-the-scenes
folks started pushing for cops to get even more
forceful. They let it be known that there would 
be no oversight, no blow-back, no repercussions
for even the most blatant of civil rights 
infractions. They sent a message to paid thugs that
they could be let off the leash (that had only been
symbolically holding them back, anyway.)

No questions, no investigations, no punishment.
No loss of standing, loss of job, loss of pension.
Just overreach the law, ignore common sense,
violate rights, become true Judge, Jury, and
Executioner. No more bullshitting with classes
on tolerance and diversity and being better cops.
No more anger control and keeping perspective:
It's the wild, wild west, and anything goes.

Because if we fear leaving our homes, living
our lives, speaking our minds, being at a protest,
standing up for ourselves or others, or even
asking simple questions of our so-called protectors,
then we have achieved a police state, even though
one has not been officially declared.

Demanding responsible and humane policing
is not an unreasonable action.

The fact that we don't receive reasoned
and judicious treatment from those
sworn to protect us is the absurdity.

And the man in charge of the Justice
Department just publicly declared that
"The police are not the problem..."
with a straight face.

No, they're one significant aspect of the problem:
The allowances of their murderous activities
go to attitudes much higher up the food chain.

Our Supposed Role Models Are Failing Us


There can be no valid campaign against bullying
in America until the ultimate, empowered bullies in 
law enforcement are held accountable for their crimes 
and stopped from causing further harm.

No child will ever listen to a call to 'act more humanely'
or 'take responsibility' if the community members they
are told to honor and emulate are out of control and
beyond reproach.

Power Corrupts

Giving the absolute authority
of a badge and a gun
to a human being
reveals parts of their soul
perhaps unknown even to them.

Without sufficient instruction
and regulation, there is nothing
keeping that sleeping giant 
from fully awakening.
