I’m just so sad about what happened to the tea party. I don’t know how the tea party got so screwed up. But I think it’s a good place to try to wake people up. They’re generally Christians and certainly conservative. The problem is that they hold self-contradictory positions. It makes is easy to just let them talk until they shoot themselves in the foot. Here’s another conversation between me and a lady who is into cop worship, like the guy who made the original post.
I happened across this little gem of a quote. I’ve posted about attorneys before who have said that you should never talk to police or insurance companies without an attorney present. Of course, sometimes it’s necessary to talk to those people, and you should have an attorney, and attorneys want you to have an attorney. But, it’s cheaper not to have an attorney, and not talk to those people.
Pilots will make mistakes, and face discipline from the FAA, such as fines or license revocation. Should you start talking to the FAA or any other government entity? Here’s what a former FAA investigator advises:
“I am a former FAA inspector. When I was a fed we had to give out a copy of the Pilots Bill of Rights (PBR) with all written correspondence. If we sent a Letter of investigation (LOI) we had to include a PBR. The PBR, in part stated that they don’t have to respond to the LOI and we can’t infer guilt by their non response.
This can be important because sometimes we had nothing but an N# to work with. No way of knowing who was at the controls. If we send an LOI to the registered owner and get no response we were likely at a dead end.
If we get the registered owners phone number and call them, they pretty much always acknowledge having flown the airplane at the time in question. They admitted to an incriminating key fact that they did not have to admit to because the PBR was bypassed. I asked around about this PBR being bypassed on phone calls. All agreed this seemed to not comply with our mandate to notify pilots of their rights.
I started telling pilots this PBR info when I called them. Some where smart and just said ok, thanks, goodbye. This guy was on video so he would be Identified as PIC already but still, answering a call from the feds is not a good idea. I think it would be best to be very polite and friendly, but say now is not a good time, I’ll call you back. You never know what stupid thing may inadvertently come out of your mouth.
If they do have a way of placing it you at the controls then lots of apologetic ass kissing can help. If you dig in your heels and get nasty some will take it as a challenge and throw the book at you.
I am really glad I am not a fed anymore.
What kind of power-tripping psychopath cop is this?
Liberals are calling for police to be defunded. They’re shooting themselves in the foot. There will be no gun control, no socialism, no big government without police. Conservatives, by knee-jerk opposing the liberals are shooting themselves in the foot, because there will be no gun control, no socialism, no big government without police. If you’re armed, you don’t need police.
Liberals are realizing that socialist-funded police services are terrible, and conservatives ought to be pointing out that all socialist-funded services are terrible, because the providers of those services don’t have to please their customers. Their customers are forced to pay whether they like it or not.
I’m loving the demands to defund the police. That is exactly what I’ve been saying for a long time. I’m somewhat alarmed that many of my conservative friends are mocking the idea. Of course, it’s being advocated by liberals and Democrats, so a certain percentage of conservatives will oppose the idea in a knee-jerk fashion just because of who is proposing it.
The problem is that when they oppose defunding police, they are defending a socialist-funded, government-run service that has protected the business of abortion for almost 50 years. When you defend a socialist-funded government program, what you’re saying is that you want to continue to force people to pay for this service, because you can’t imagine any other way of receiving police services. You are committing the sin of covetousness.
Liberals have their socialist programs, and some don’t even mind being called socialists. Conservatives have their socialist programs and they don’t like being called socialists, but that is certainly what they are.
When liberals want to defund a socialist program, that is a win for conservaitves. When liberals want to defund the enforcement arm of a socialist state, you are scoring a huge victory. Socialism doesn’t work without police (tax collectors/thugs with guns). All conservatives should join with them in working to end socialist-funded government policing, and pointing out that government police provide inferior service, because it is funded by government by force, without free market competition.
If government police ceased to exist would chaos rule the streets as conservatives seem to believe? It sounds like a stupid question to me. Have you given up your guns? If an intruder came into your house, would you feel better that the police will arrive in 10 minutes (if you’re lucky) or that you have a gun by your bed? Are you going to be consistent with your belief in the 2nd Amendment, or just give up your guns and let the government take care of you? Police are the chaos, not the solution to the chaos. For Pete’s sake, they drive around making sure you have the right sticker on your car. You are being ripped off by the police. Police and government are the criminals, not the solutions to crime.
There are biblical and free market replacements for police. I’m not advocating that criminals go unpunished. America had no police for many decades after its founding. Defunding police is consistent with the founding principles. Liberals happened upon this truth for different reasons, and conservatives would be stupid to oppose them.
The narrator on this video explains the lies very thoroughly. I keep debating about whether these cops are lying about whether people have to identify themselves or whether they’re truly in error. I think these cops are just this stupid and untrained as to think that people have to hang on their every word and obey their every whim. I hope this guy sues this PD and gets a huge check.
Here’s my next question. Why does the DA take a case like this to court? The DA knows the law.
This is my strategy if I find myself being harassed by cops:
1. Don’t answer any police questions–even the greeting like, “How are you?” If you answer the initial questions, they will get suspicious when you refuse to answer the more incriminating questions.
2. Avoid being arrested, because even though this case shouldn’t have gone to trial, thank God the jury acquitted. But I have shocking news for you. A good percentage of our fellow citizens are bootlicking statists, and the outcome of a jury trial is a crap shoot. I don’t want to be arrested or face a jury, even if I’m 100% correct and have taken pains to ensure I’m within the law.
Here’s the video of the lying cops of Des Moines, Iowa.
I had a conversation in a Christian Facebook group. A lady asked for advice on whether her son should be come a cop. I posted the following initial response to her question, and ended up introducing new concepts to several people. I’m sure the seeds will grow, but they have been planted.
Here’s my first comment, and the rest of the conversation.
ME: Christians should avoid law enforcement. The laws in this country are becoming more and more pagan. As just one example, police have demonstrated that they’re unwilling to protect unborn babies, but they are willing to protect abortion businesses.
I’m going to school to be an LEO and I WILL make a difference. People WILL know me by my fruits.
MISTY: thats ridiculous talk. Avoid law enforcement?? So the streets can be over taken by crooked and “pagan” cops?? How about leading by example and being different?
SHERYL: my husband is a believer and that is quite offensive. God places his people in all areas of life, including government, for His glory and His purpose.
MISTY: please thank him for his service!!My husband is also a believer and an LEO #bluefamily
KAYLA: This is just silly and ludicrous.
ME: A Christian enforcing pagan laws is not better than a pagan enforcing pagan laws.
A Christian cop who wanted to be consistent with scripture won’t keep their job for long.
SHERYL: still offensive. You have no idea how my husband, and others, want to be consistent with scripture. Abortion isn’t the only issue in society.
BETH: that is ridiculous to think that all officers are put in that position. My husband is a law enforcement officer an absolutely committed to the Lord. With that logic someone could say don’t be a Christian because I knew one one time who did……and plus all the more reason we need godly men in that position.
You are correct though the time is coming when we’re all going to lose our jobs if we’re not willing the cave on our convictions. But it’s not just law enforcement.
ME: The job description of government is given in Romans 13:3-4. Their only job is to punish evildoers. Abortionists are evildoers who not only go unpunished, but are protected by police. 60 million babies have been murdered, in this country. That is 10 times the number of Jews Hitler killed. I’ve heard all the excuses from cops, but zero cops are being consistent with Scripture, because a huge number of murders have taken place, and the murders continue with the blessing of police.
Cops from small towns think they’re off the hook at this point, saying there are no abortion clinics in their town. (As if they would be shutting down the clinics single handedly if they lived in a big city). Unfortunately, there are very few agencies so small that they don’t have a pharmacy, where chemical abortions are sold over the counter. God only knows how many millions more babies are legally murdered while the small town Christian cops delude themselves into thinking their hands are clean.
Abortion is only the most egregious issue. I could run down a list of major injustices and issues committed by Christian cops.
Sheryl, abortion isn’t the only issue, but what a pitiful excuse for your husband’s inaction on the issue. If he can’t do his job of punishing murderers, he should quit. But he’s got a pension to worry about, right? I’m not questioning anyone’s salvation or their self-delusion about their commitment to Scripture. But it is quite simple to show how there are no cops who fulfill their God-given job description.
MIKE: this is one of the dumbest lines of argument I’ve seen on Facebook. Congratulations.
Thankfully in the time you spewed out this garbage and painted an entire community of people with your broad flawless brush there have been hundreds if not thousands of officers actions that have made a difference in the world we live in. Romans 13 also says that God chooses our leaders and we should be subject to the leadership. Life is complicated, but the answer is not for every Christian to exit law enforcement and it certainly isn’t for some random dude on the top row of the bleachers to command what everyone else should and should not do.
ME: Those are the same arguments used by the guards at Nazi concentration camps. Stop twisting Romans 13, and do what it says.
This 9-year-old girl is a U.S. citizen, with a passport, and was detained for 32 hours, by herself, because she gave inconsistent answers to questions. I have two main points to make about this.
First, teach your children to disrespect false authority, and to not to talk to government officials, whether it’s border patrol, local police, child protective service, school teachers (because I know no one reading this would ever be stupid enough to send their kids to public school), or anyone else with the government. We all have a 5th Amendment right to not answer questions. What good is a right if you voluntarily give it up? If they don’t answer questions, their answers won’t be inconsistent, as this girl had, and is completely understandable for a girl her age.
I have told my kids this, but who knows how they would actually behave when under pressure. This is a good opportunity for a refresher.
Second, most of my friends are conservatives. Standard conservative beliefs include the following two tenets:
1. You should submit to, and honor law enforcement.
2. Members of the armed forces serve to protect our freedom.
These are contradictory beliefs. The police lie and steal (via civil asset forfeiture, frivolous traffic ticketing and enforcing unjust taxation) to take away our freedom.
Most of my conservative friends would be in shock that I’m not teaching my children to be subservient to the police, and that the police aren’t a valid authority. They would be in shock if I told my kids to remain silent and not answer government’s questions.
However, the best way to honor the sacrifice of military veterans is to exercise those freedoms they fought for. Remaining silent is the best way to honor veterans. When you surrender your freedoms you’re disrespecting the sacrifice of veterans.
I spoke with a couple people demonstrating for universal healthcare on 9th and Royal Gorge today. I asked them what exactly they’re wanting, and they wouldn’t really commit to anything specific, saying there are several different proposals being discussed in the state legislature.
I pointed out that whatever they’re advocating, if it’s based on taxation, and forcing people to pay, they’re committing the sin of covetousness, and they’re in favor of government theft.
The guy said we already fund fire services, public schools, etc by taxation. I told him we homeschool, and don’t receive a dime from the government, yet I’m forced to pay for the education of other people’s children under threat of confiscation of my property. We learn in kindergarten that it’s wrong to force people to participate in something they don’t want to do.
But he is absolutely correct in pointing out that if I were to take the position that it is just fine to fund public school, fire departments, and police services by socialism, then it is perfectly fine to fund everyone’s healthcare by socialism. Any line that you want to draw between public school and public healthcare is completely arbitrary. There is no logical reason why one would be acceptable, and the other unacceptable.
That is why unless we take a stand against all socialism, we will lose this debate. Our society will be based on covetousness, unless we start applying Scripture to the public discourse, and appeal to God’s law written on people’s hearts–even socialists. It is equally wrong for conservatives and Christians to covet taxpayer money for public school, police, fire services or border walls, as it is for liberals to covet money for healthcare.
It’s up to you to know your rights. The cops either don’t know the law or are more than willing to lie. And whatever you do, don’t cooperate with your captors.
