Hear the phrase, “F- The Police!” and one immediately thinks of the 1988 song by rap group NWA.
This sentiment may not be confined to the inner city alone.
Some White conservatives, far removed from the Hood, are no less trusting of law enforcement. The mid-20th Century inflamed today’s current mistrust.
The 1992 federal siege on Ruby Ridge and the 1993 televised armored assault on David Koresh compound fanned this sentiment among the Right in that time period.
Even the chairman of the National Rifle Association in 1995 famously called government agents, “jack booted thugs”!
From Clinton to Obama, there’s been a steady increase in heavy handed policing tactics which have strained relations with conservatives, usually law enforcement’s strongest supporters.
The recent fire storm caused by the publication of “Challengers from the Sidelines: Understanding America’s Violent Far-Right,” by West Point scholar Arie Perliger, has increased suspicion even more toward Obama-era federal policing.
Looming on the horizon is Obama’s civilian national security force, which he announced in a 2008 speech, off teleprompter no less, that:
“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
Conservatives fear this force will be used for garrison duty in a United States resembling Eastern Europe under Soviet domination.
“F- The Police!” is a cry frequently associated with more than inner city gang-bangers.
White and other conservatives have joined this unlikely chorus, as Americans with little in common unite around a shared mistrust of law enforcement.
One hopes this changes given how police and conservatives serve as defenders of tradition, but as government grows bigger, this likelihood in some minds grows smaller.

DHS and other alphabet agencies have recently purchased over 1.8 BILLION rounds of hollow point ammo – enough to shoot every man, woman, and child in the country 5 times or more – ammo that’s illegal for military use under international law, and have just ordered more and an additional 7,000 FULLY AUTOMATIC “personal defense” weapons. How does anyone with the capability of rational thought escape the conclusion that our government is preparing for a war on its own citizens?
Yep, we American citizens can’t trust law enforcement any more. We can’t trust our government, either. They’ve purchased all this ammunition and weapons to war against we, the people of this nation. They have threatened us, America. They have declared war on us. NEVER give up your arms. Lock and load and keep your ammor dry. Keep your faith in God, also.
I’m thinking these 7,000 PD weapons are the (remember the Obama Phone Lady?) Obama Guns. He is arming those knuckleheads now. Powder is dry. I hope to God we are ready.
Even though I’ve been given tickets I don’t believe I deserved, was arrested because of a clerical error, (court appearance not recorded leading to a failure to appear warrant), I’ve mostly been supportive of law enforcement officers.
But, over the past dozen years, I’ve noticed that the police chiefs of the largest cities seem to be democrats, and that their political ideology guides their policies more than common sense and the rule of law does.
I live in Los Angeles, and I’m pretty sure that the police chief here would implement whatever policy Obama wanted regardless of whether it was constitutional or not. And because the courts are filled with leftist judges, they might see something wrong with what’s happening, but they will not speak out against it
because Obama is a democrat. The MSM will not say anything for the same reason.
That’s what makes Obama the most serious threat to our country. And too many people, in too many positions of authority are supporters of the same progressive, communist, authoritarian style of government, that we have no one in a position to do something about it, willing to do anything at all about it.
The conservatives in congress have apparently been infiltrated by communist supporters to the point that they no longer have any chance of stopping the dismantling of America.
And with the Obama calling conservatives the enemy, the DHS calling us terrorist and the biggest threat to national security, I have zero trust in anything it does.
Even though thousands of LEOs are beginning to stand up to openly oppose the Neo Comm take over, God Bless ‘em, it isn’t enough. We tens of thousands and more not afraid to lose their pensions by upholding their oath.
Same with the Military in the Pink Pentagon. They’ve labelled us Terrorists! These sold-out closet Communists in fancy uniform loaded with brass and mostly unearned medals have sided with the Obamunists. I stand by that statement unless I clearly see otherwise and the muted muttering of a few noncoms on the internet isn’t what I mean.
Those jack-booted thugs fear us, look how they’re dressed, i.e. tailored fear suits. Look at their armament, vehicles, drones, and speech. If that doesn’t speak to being ‘fearful’ I don’t know what does. Let’s see, 2-1/2 million law enforcement and military, some undecided, vs 300 million with as many guns, hmm, fear might be their only refuge. And rightly so, especially when they don’t have one jack-boot to stand on the Constitution. At our next laugh-in let’s all ‘hug-a-thug’:) What’s the problem?…Semper Fi
I trust that there are many of us that want a civil relationship with the police. I know I want them on our side if the SHTF situation happens. The more weapons on our side means the more we don’t have to fight. And they do have some pretty good weapons that we would like to get our hands on to fight whoever comes after us for any reason. I would like to see what Obama has put together with his Homeland Security forces. I believe they will be who we end up fighting in the long run. So lets hope we get the Police on our side instead of having to fight those men also…
