To enforce this bullshit is to enable the prison and police state. Add into it the hypocrisy if you're busting somebody's kid for possessing marijuana, who very well could have bought it from your girlfriend. |
My bad.

Well then don't be a Cop or Sheriff.
It's something they have to do.

Not gonna lie; I love you, man. I think you're a great poster, and I enjoy reading what you have to say. But, I have to admit, I've just lost a whole lot of respect for you.

No, they do not. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, if a law is clearly unconstitutional (like the drug laws) - anybody can refuse to enforce them - states, presidents, police, sheriffs, judges, juries.
Most people are complacent because they don't want the fuss, but those few who do go out of their way to actually enforce the rule of law (a law which is unjust is no law at all, and is the reverse of the rule of law) perform a great service to those who are complacent.
But, unless the thread creator responds to me, I will not post again. Don't want to derail the thread anymore than what the creator will tolerate.

I don't know what to say. I don't have a defense for this. I've seen and done a lot of things that I'd probably have done differently. I won't go into detail here, though. I never took a bribe or anything like that. I'll just say that having that job put me into a lot of crazy situations and I didn't come out unscathed. The person I was when I started wasn't the person I was when I quit.

It's his job! He has to do it, you can't lose respect for him if he didn't want to lose his job for not enforcing laws.
EDIT: OK, I'll stop. But seriously lighten up on him.

It's cool, NintendoPie.

Well, nobody can change what happened in the past. I understand that.
Like I said, I know you're a decent person. The system just has a way of turning people against people. They let the police think they're enforcing the rule of law, the TSA think they're defending the borders, and the army think they're spreading democracy. The tyrannical state thrives on confusion.
I can tell there's a lot that you regret about your time in the police force, and regret is one of the worst feelings. It has all the shittiness of feeling bad, with none of the goodness of being able to amend what you did.
I'm sorry if I dragged any shit up.

No need to apologize if you're right. I'm okay, though. You didn't drag anything out that I didn't voluntarily put out there.
