The rampant corruption and fraud in government has become more obviously pervasive and terrible of late. We always knew it existed and were aware of the optics that the miscreants protected each other from accountability. To the point here, in my perspective, lawlessness and corruption by police, prosecutors, and judges ranks several levels worse than that of regular Citizens, and even than sundry other government bad actors.
This is called evil in the real world, and should reliably be met with much more stringent accountability and judgment.
How can this behavior be known about and buried by the very people that hold people's freedom and safety in their despicably crooked and ludicrous hands. People should be contesting every single report, ticket, warrant, and conviction that such dishonest malfeasants had anything to do with. The sheer gall and anti-social psychopathy is beyond measure.
Yep, I know people that haven’t taken 1 hour off since being promoted to upper command. Working years without any time off. Or, some taking every other day off while being on vacation in another country. Not sure how that works. I’m accountable for every hour by logging on my computer and being fully viewable on gps mapping. Most command disable thier gps or don’t even bother logging on duty. Some don’t even work full shifts. When you bring it up to the higher ups it falls on deaf ears. I’m refused to be caught up in this nonsense of cheating the system. We arrest people for theft. How on earth can we be stealing? How these people live with themselves is beyond me.
As an everyday citizen, whose had neighbors and a sprinkling of FR friends, I find corruption in LE even more frightening than in politics. And we know the political realm is fraught with corruption and affects our day to day lives.
Why worse? Because these are the first people to respond in a dire or needful situation. How can I trust their judgment of a situation, or of myself, be it a routine traffic stop or a 911 type event, if they cannot be trusted to be honest?
In my youth, and my younger adulthood, I loved and honored all FR. I was asked numerous times to become an advocate for women who had been assaulted, to gain my Chaplaincy and serve with the SD. My own son had planned on entering the SD. His best friend a jumper Fireman. My Uncle a Fire Chief, a cousin both an Officer then Deputy. I fed and rode S Posse stock.
Then years ago, I was forbidden from visiting my then husband's music shop on a particular evening. I finally drove by numerous times and each time, several Units were present. Long story short, my children and I ended up in a shelter for domestic violence. We were located despite being two counties away, and had to move, twice in less than a year. My attorney was a former Detective turned attorney. My ex [allegedly...] had been supplying many officers with drugs. Needless to say, I did not come out on top of the situation. Alot more to the situation, but from that initial day and something that had occurred, I have feared those whom I should trust with my life.
Obviously at this time in my life, each officer, Deputy or P/F I may come across for whatever reason is given the benefit of the doubt, extended respect and honor due their position— the danger they walk with, and what they must see and hear on a daily basis. All branches of FR prayed for regularly. But I feel underlying fear, and can never quelch it. It makes me sad. Because I know it's not fair.
But maybe this will illuminate why people in LE and in religious settings must do their best to be of a higher caliber than the average human being. Is it fair? No. But it's what the public needs~ men and women above reproach. Not perfect, but above reproach.
God bless our FR and may the reasons why they do these things be healed, corrected. 💙🤍❤️
