not there to "protect and serve"

I've said many times that police are not there to "protect and serve".  Not even with a protection order.  Not even within a government school.  Not even at Uvalde's massacre.

Maybe you dismissed my claim as progressive nonsense.  Here's a lawyer (YouTube, 15 minutes) describing the U.S. Supreme Court rationale for why it is established case law.

It's infuriating, but it's true.

I'm still frustrated by the astonishing lack of progress in prosecuting 4 years of crimes (click above the table to "Show All entries").  The opening for the January 6th hearing, though, was meaningful. Chairman Bennie Thompson came right out and said, "conspiracy".  He came right out and plainly stated, "January 6th was the culmination of an attempted coup."

They failed, however, to draw attention to the actions people played in securing non-action from the military in capitol defense, plus reduced efficacy from some of the capitol police. Too much focus on the crowd's sedition. Donald Trump did not act alone in power.  Cue Republicans who absolutely, undoubtedly, for 4 whole years were totally telling Trump to cool it down: "Would I lie to you to protect my own hide?"

I told you it was a coup. Incompetent. Failed. But a coup.

I told Defense One when they tried to issue apologia to distract from this conclusion and their role in it.

I tell you again, repeatedly: Be like Wonder Woman. Be Antifa.
