Why All Police Are Bad People

When is the last time you saw a police officer stop or prevent a crime? How many times in your lifetime can you remember a police officer protecting you? Have you ever benefited from police services? How many times have you been prosecuted for trivial victimless crimes such as speeding tickets, expired tags, or drug possession?

You have to understand that law is not based on morality and is just someone’s idea being signed into law. Unfortunately, many people’s morality is based on what the government does. When people send money to the IRS it is under the threat of force but still most people don’t consider it stealing. Many of these laws are immoral and are designed to generate revenue for the state. For every new law that is passed the state has more power over your lives. Think about how many DEA and BATFE agents would be out jobs if we eliminated all drug laws and laws regulating firearms.

Now that we established that there are many laws that are immoral, we have to analyze the actions of the people that carry out these laws, the police officers’ sense of morality, and how it destroys peoples’ lives in the process. Are they just doing their job? Or are they just as guilty as the people that make these immoral laws. I think they are guiltier because they are the initiators of force against people just trying to live their lives. Their mere presence deprives us of a certain amount of liberty. To make it worse, most people have no problem with the fact that your are not even allowed to resist them.

Government police have a monopoly of power and the corruption in our society stems from the fact that the police, the prosecutors, the judges, and all other city officials are all on the same team and work for the same people. They don’t have to respond to market forces such as providing good customer service. They are parasites on society and you are the host.

In my opinion if a law enforcement officer or any other government official initiates force against someone for simply exercising their rights, they have a right to resist and use whatever force necessary to defend themselves. The primary purpose of the second amendment is to give citizens the means of protecting themselves from armed government officials; not protecting themselves from private criminals. Who is more of a threat to you?

  1. They are not all bad people, most are just a product of the system that they are raised to believe in.

  2. In the 1987 movie "Barfly," Faye Dunaway turns to Mickey Rourke and says, "Don't you just HATE the police?" Rourke responds, "No, but I feel better when they're not around."

    That pretty much sums it up for me.

    I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF.

  4. Speeding is a "trivial victimless crime"?
    Drug Possession?
    How about speeding while possessing drugs?

    It's not the job of the police to stop or prevent crime btw.

    They enforce the laws.
