The first day of civilian flaggers has brought out some protesting police officers.They forgot to say law-breaking protesting police officers.
That thug who drove the wrong way and then tried to blame it on the "civilian" flagger should have been arrested on the spot. And tell me known cops swearing and calling you names is not intimidating--especially realizing they know how to find out who you are.
The flip side is, everybody gets to see the mentality of these goons. Those capable of putting two and two together will understand the same bullying on display here is just part of the every day attitude they treat all non-"Only Ones" with--and if they're this bold with cameras on them, just imagine what they're like "in private." And remember: these are the enforcers of citizen disarmament--they get guns but you don't.
A few bad apples my...eye. It's past time these criminal parasites were scoured from the Shire.

Of course these union thugs (pd's up there are union,right?) are protesting. They'd make $20-30/hr out there and the scabs likely get $7-8.
ReplyDeleteNext they'll be knee-capping those 'civilian flaggers', or hitting the contractors up to convince 'em they need protection.
that's what I like about MA. Here, the few bad apples have no problem getting out front and letting you know about them because you can't do a thing to them. . . .

ReplyDelete... and the enemy had a REAL bad day.
Even the smallest person can change the course of history. No orcs allowed west of the Argonath.
anon,
ReplyDeleteas I recall the figure was $42/hour for the cops.
police in MA have the FOP (as many states do, i imagine).
ReplyDeletearound here, they do cold calls asking for your financial support in helping the families of officers fallen in the line of duty.
then they tell you that your donation won't be tax deductible.
this is of course because the FOP is not a 503 non-profit charity for families of officers who have died on the job, it's a 503 lobby group that is pro-AW-ban.
when you say no, they respond to you as if you're a cruel and heartless person. indeed, perhaps some of that donation does go to those families, but most of it goes towards everything else. and who is it that's skimming off the top?
to serve and protect.
