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.

Naw, They're not that bad!

When we were growing up, the idea implanted in

our wee brains was that 'police officers were our friends.'

We were to turn to them without hesitation if we needed

something, they were trustworthy, they were our friends.

A bigger crock of shit was never cooked.

What do the police do in my neighborhood to 

make us safe? 

*They harass people for being in a parked car

using a cel phone.

*They intimidate people who are standing on the 

street talking and having a cigarette.

*They stop vehicles and demand to know who you

are and what you're out doing, sans probable cause.

*They harass you for walking down the very street

you live on.

*They stare you down and give you nasty looks 

when they pass.

*They make excuses to NOT come help stranded

motorists.

*They tell you to call a tow service if you lock

your keys out of your car.

*The cops sit and stare at you from their cruiser, and 

follow you around at slow speeds.

*When you call for help, they don't show up.

BUT, here's a list of things the cops WILL do for you!

*They will take your pay-off if you are a drug dealer.

*They will intimidate the neighbors who call to report

drug dealings and activity.

*They will take sides in a dispute based on their

prejudices and personal contacts.

*They will act as judge, jury, and executioner.

*They will threaten and  treat you poorly because

it serves their Ego to do so.

*They will trump up charges so they can make an arrest

and make their quota.

*They will overlook the law-breaking of their fellow

officers, friends, and family.

*They will assume the worst and not listen

to reason or truth.

Did I miss anything?
