re: When did we start accepting our current police state?

A report just came out from the Advocate that listed a bunch of towns in Louisiana that derive over 90% from their revenue from speeding tickets. And this isn't limited to them either - agencies like BRPD and Lafayette PD are notorious for inspection sticker checkpoints, cops parking outside of busy areas with radar, etc.

Big agencies have dedicated traffic units. A fraction of the BR budget is derived from traffic tickets. BRPD traffic units really don't do shite, honestly.

Krotz Springs only has a department to generate traffic revenue. They don't do a damn thing other than sit on the highway.

False. Texas is covered in troopers patrolling the highways. I can't tell you how many times I've seen one just across the state line.

CAF is bullshite, I agree. Most people will not defend police brutality. Not sure where you're getting that from. For example, in the last thread about the JPSO deputies at the Mardi Gras parade, most people were calling for them to be fired.

The same folks who are in Q threads talking about the deep state are weirdly always behind the arm of the state that can actually infringe on their rights on a day to day basis. I just don't get it.

I don't even know what this means.

Most PDs are made of bald, tattooed meatheads who can barely type let alone correctly enforce the law.

This is heavily dependent on the agency.

For example, city police are almost all the most high-strung of the bunch. BRPD is pretty good for the applicant pool in which they have to hire from and a horrible leadership team, but they are still much more in line with what you think of when you imagine a stereotypical cop.

Most sheriff's offices are more good ole' country boys and are generally a much less high-strung individual.

Troopers are very serious and do their job well, but will not play the games local departments play. They do their job, escalate if need be, and get on with their day.

It is shocking to me, to see the kind of response and police presence possible when something goes a little sideways here. Too many cops.

That's because you're seeing every on-duty cop in the city come hauling arse when shite goes south. Almost every department in the country is horribly understaffed.

Right-wing people love to talk small government but are always for larger military and more police cracking down. Ironic considering those of the people that have the most means to threaten their individual freedoms.

It's pretty common now that police don't actually help do much. They're just Tax Collectors with guns. I was involved in a hit-and-run 2 years ago and reported it to the police.

They didn't even come out there because they said they were too busy and when I finally filed the police report they didn't actually follow up on it or do anything. The Walgreens parking lot where it occurred had footage of the event and the police never even picked it up even after I told them it was there.

That's how they pay your troopers so much more. Georgia had to give our troopers a 20% raise last year because they were going to Texas for alot more money

You forgot that in LA, a recent law makes resisting arrest or any perceived "violence" against police as a legal hate crime.

That is some thug police state shite right there, man. But the answer, as others have no doubt stated, was the Patriot Act. I knew what it was before reading it, just by the name. I and others told people that it was a power grab, using 9/11 as an excuse, but you people let it happen anyway.

"Patriot Act" is straight out of Orwell. It's so obvious and blatant, and all you have to do is read or be told what it actually says to understand that it's the implementation of a police state.

But I was in Europe in 1999 and they had a pretty intimidating police presence everywhere I went, especially in the Paris/London/Amsterdam triangle.

They have media-manufactured knife control in the UK now. They want a totally defenseless and cowed populace. It's what exists in many places now, and what is being worked toward in the West. Once again, it seems super obvious to me that we need to resist it at all costs, and time permitting, try to save Europe. But, people didn't believe me then, so why would they now?

Globalists want serfdom and total subjugation. We can't even begin until enough people acknowledge that fact.

The thing is they will seize first and ask questions later. And like most things once it is tied up in the system it is harder to get it back
