Police, even the ones who are perfectly honest and trustworthy, are often called upon to enforce laws that are blatant violations of the rights of citizens. The current state of "the law" compels them to do so as part of their jobs.

Is it really that surprising that rights conscious types view them with mixed feelings?
Look through some of these threads. I'm not talking about rights conscious, or mixed feelings.
That's perfectly reasonable.

True, but I think the idiots have gotten more strident in proclaiming their idiocy in the last few years, especially lately.

The past was worse so appreciate how bad it is now is not a compelling argument.

The retarded responses are increased due to the inability to reconcile their belief that personal freedoms are inalienable and their desire to see the government repress those that they deem as undesirable.

No difference than say... veterans.

"Thank you for your service and sacrifice."

"Stop being a pussy on July 4th, it's just fireworks."

Or politics.....

"No sharia law in the US!"

"Gay marriage is against the Bible so it should not be legal in the US, we are a Christian nation."

Or consumption.....

"You can't allow someone to ban big gulps, I like my big sodas. Personal responsibility."

"Grow a plant go to jail."

What about not seizing cash you find suspicious solely because it's cash or not signalling your dog to manufacture PC so you can perform a "legal" search?

Do feds count? I think I can come up with more examples for Fed LEOs of the top of my head than locals.

ETA: Not trying to be accusatory. Consider "you" and "your" as referring to examples of police.

If you substitute "they" and "their" it would be somewhat less accusatory.

The level of retardation constantly paraded throughout any thread involving the police has reached critical levels.

Making gun owners look less like responsible citizens and more like self righteous jackasses doesn't help our cause.

OP I've been doing this shit for 29 years, in GD you look at the title of the thread and weigh the possibility of an aneurism against the need to see how stupid people can be. Then you either click or not. I tend not to but when I do I am rarely surprised at the comments herein, it's just like walking into a trailer park on a hot Holiday weekend  Saturday night.

There are a lot of great people here and then again there are a lot of good people here who cannot separate the person from the employer.  

meh.

Maybe it's this place that has changed....and maybe it's me....or more likely some combination of the two. 
Any more it seems like more of an echo chamber than I recall....although I suppose it was always that way and the topics of discussion have simply moved to areas I don't care for.  It's not just cop threads.....there seem to be a variety of popular topics that result in a very clear bias among posters here. Those biases (for me) are largely exhausting, uninspiring, without adequate composition. 

There are a lot of good folks who post here....but there are also a lot of uninformed and ignorant comments which at times grab a lot of traction. Seems like there is also a very strong inclination for binary thought...dualism with a lot of 'black and white' chains of debate. It's that dynamic that troubles me more than anything. To each their own....not my place to judge, but it's tough to not observe the level of absurdity that underpins so much dialogue here.

No. That started when grown children who are overly invested in their toys and are mental fucks came here seeking others of their kind. What started out prob as a great info and enthusiast board very quickly become a joke on the online firearms community with GD and later, spreading thru the tech forums. Still great info here, awesome veterans threads where history of our soldiers are recounted. (Snake Driver, ETC...) And the few serious topics when members need help where good people come thru for each other.

The bashing shitshows are the embarrassment of the site. And it is telling that the mods and owners even allow the childish shit to get started, much less continue.
