re: Why do police always follow orders?

This crap is getting stupid.

Not all cops DO follow orders. Not all cops did during covid, not all cops did responding to hostile situations. Those cops, at best, are suspended or even fired. At worst, those cops become talking points for things like "defund the police".

I've spent the last two years hearing how cops aren't necessary, how we need to defund them or replace them with dime-store psychologists. Now we have a hostile situation that happened where cops were TOO cautious and it's the exact opposite?

Here's a possible future: federal police. They won't care what your feelings are. They won't be subject to civilian oversight boards and dipshit mayors who jab a knife in their back whenever politically expedient, they won't necessarily go to your churches, have kids on your little league ballteams, eat at the local restaurants or be subject to your local laws. They will have central authority from people who may never have even heard of your city, town or community. And you will hate them. And you will have zero say.
