I found this amusing.

I ran into a friend of mine last night. He's a local cop and great guy. We talk politics and history from time to time. At one point in the discussion I said to him, "I like you and all, but I don't want the police state that seems to be coming." He replied, "No offense taken. I don't need the overtime."

"No offense taken. I don't need the overtime."

Does this mean that he's up to speed on things?

Mostly. He's old school and has witnessed the rise of the paramilitary thugs being hired as of late.

Good.

If he's like the LEO's that I know, he's just trying to make retirement and head off to his place in the country.

Rather than pretending it doesn't exist, they should be speaking out about what is going on, since they know it from the inside. By skating along until retirment, they are as responsible for the police state as the paramilitary thugs.

Cops should wait until they're gone from the force before they speak out. It's a fool's mission otherwise.

Yes, but that's a tough call at that stage of life, from a strictly financial point of view.

The system does not reward speaking out...

I figured that would be the response.

Finacial security is always worth much more than freedom.

No. In this case, better a live dog than a dead lion.

From what I know of cops, I wouldn't waste my time or effort. Please stop the missionary work, it's useless. Assume they are enemy and you'll do fine.
