No Police

 Protect and Serve...


is the slogan that I see on the Police Cruisers that patrol our city streets and interstate highways but it bothers me tremendously when I see law enforcement hiding around corners or in the dips of roads so that drivers of vehicles cannot easily see them unless someone warns them in advance or unless they have been on that road before and actually seen them hiding...

It seems like law enforce is trying to CATCH and APPREHEND more than they are concerned with protecting and serving.

And, what is really interesting is the fact that on Monday through Friday on one of the main road connecting my city to Knoxville that has a posted speed limit of 55 mph...  in the early morning rush hour traffic from let's say 6:00 to 8:00 am, most of the traffic drives in excess of 80 mph and nowhere do you see law enforcement...  so, in essence they are saying that they do not need to protect and serve these workers...

The same kind of logic holds true on the interstate when there is a group of cars exceeding the posted speed limits...  these cars are left alone...  and law enforcement sees no reason there either to protect and serve.  However, if there is a lone car exceeding the posted speed limits then these law enforcement people will bend over backwards to make sure that they protect and serve.

This contradiction is WRONG and not only should be stopped but law enforcement MUST BE REMOVED and told to get another job.  Most drivers of vehicles know their vehicles and know how fast they are driving...  and if, they want to kill themselves and others...  that is their business and the business of lawyers who get to file law suits on behalf of the victims.

I agree with the BLM movement that police departments have abused their power and that they should be defunded, reduced in size, or in some cases eliminated.  People can learn to protect themselves and their own property.  This is one of the reasons that we have street gangs in most of our large cities...  to collect protection money from the local residents and consequently provide protection from inside and outside the neighborhood.  This process seems to be working well.
