I was in the process of becoming an officer when I experienced the 2000 DNC in LA. That day made me re-think the profession. I also saw the day coming when they will be against us and I don't wanna be against the people.

So they seem to be taking their first step at pitting the police vs. the US veterans. I know who will win.

Those poor police officers are such idiots...if they were less violent and out of control I would almost feel sorry for them. They are like deer in the headlights when you ask them simple questions. Tragic!
