I defy you to find one post by me that says or even implies there should be a different set of standards for police.
Wow.
I'd really rather not, being a relative newbie around here, but since you asked, my answer: From what I've read in this thread (and I've read most of it)...every...single...one. And it astounds me that you don't see that, or that you can pretend not to.
HYPOTHETICAL- Let's say MS-13 "youths" mistake some policeman's house for someone they want to "have a word with." They shoot the policeman's dog (when it surprises them in the yard), and when this disoriented homeowner walks to the front door, in the dark and jammie-clad and pistol in hand, the "youths" are looking through the side window with their NODs (or actually through the walls with their thermal imaging devices) and recognize your cop's pistola or his operator stance, and blow him away. Whether he makes it to the porch or not, you'd be howling in defense of THIS homeowner.
It's bad enough that blue-gang orchestrates an ambush on Waco bikers. Worse that they assassinate ranchers in the snow. Worse still that they shoot 90-lb kids for carrying a screwdriver or flash-bang a baby in his crib or strangle a fat guy for selling untaxed smokes. Nota Bene that ALL of these "public servants" are still breathing my air. But, what's worse even than all that, is that when America is telling you that we see what you've become and we don't like it one bit, your cognitive dissonance immediately goes into hyper-drive.
We're trying to tell you, as nicely as we can, that you've squandered our trust. Since you're not policing yourselves, and you knee-jerk to the defense of your brethren, and your system consistently gives you a pass, and you have no mandate to actually protect anyone, and you spend taxpayer money faster than a souped-up Dodge Charger, and you even have a program to take citizens' property without so much as charging them with a crime, not only don't we trust you...we're having a hard time
liking you. And we're the people-liking people!
When the "law" has devolved into being only what the elites favor, and the law enforcement gang only prosecutes what those elites prefer, the citizenry begins having a harder and harder time distinguishing between your gang and any others.
First they came for the Jews, and I wasn't a Jew, so I did not speak up. Then they came for the blacks and bikers and babies. I wasn't any of those, so I didn't speak up. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me. Well, this is us speaking up. We recognize those others as low-hanging fruit in the NKVD world, and we've studied history, and we know what boxcars and camps
might lie ahead.
More than I oughtta said, prolly.
