Wow.Remembered how to put a title on the subject.Amazing what sobriety can do. Yes,I was drunk last night.Probably be a few more of those posts.Today I'm just hung.Sometimes the shut off button for whiskey is just not there.Hope I didn't O.D. on Tylenol this morning.Screw it.
Getting back to my post, I was wondering this morning what I was gonna post.Not for a lack of shit to spew,but rather from an overabundance of shit to spew.In the middle of my musings, while having a smoke on my deck,however,I saw a cop car go by and gave it the finger.They couldn't see this passive agressive gesture,and that's when I usually do it,but when they happen to be close by,it gives the extra thrill to it,kinda like screwing in the woods.Perfect.Found my subject.
I have held a distaste(read hate...ed) for the po-lice since I was a kid.Some of it was from inculcation from my parents and older siblings,some of it was from my own misspent youth.Some of it was from what I have seen in the media,some of it was from my own perception of all of it combined.Whatever.I hate c0ps.
Why?You may ask...but if you have to ask that question,you probably are not going to like my answer.Ask me if I give a shit.It is my ego trip.Whatever.
I will attempt to answer it cause not only did I pose that question to myself,I want to fukin answer.
I hate c0ps because I hate the hypocritical little bubble that I imagine they walk around in.They will stop,question and arrest you if they suspect that you are impaired on something. They will question/arrest you if they think you are stealing.They will question/arrest you if they think you were involved in a fight.They will question you and arrest you if they think you are growing/selling weed.They will question/arrest you if they think that you killed someone...etc,etc.Then go out and do it themselves.
Then there is the aversion to their personalities.In my experience,future police officers have been wanna be police at some point in their lives.Call me crazy,but that seems to be the way it works.These wannabes are usually arrogant and insufferable in many other ways.And this is before I find out that they want to be cops.When I find out their ambitions their attitude makes sooo much sense to me...Never fails.True story.And I don't even have to talk about those adults who didn't make it into police academy and work bitterly at low paying/low skilled jobs.Blech.
Shit.Was out nuking something and had a great start for the next paragraph,then got distracted and forgot.Freakin hangovers.(actually,that sort of thing happens to you alot..ed)
Officer friendly comes into schools and talks about drugs to kids,and how they are soooo bad for them.Happened to me,anyways.They came in with their little packets full of drugs in a folding display,give a lecture on how marijane is gonna eat you up and that everyone who used them was a criminal,boring all on both sides of the fence.Said everything except that we were going to hell,but back in the day there was still a some kind of separation between religion and cops.Now they all think they are God(Are you really THAT old/naieve?...ed).Anyways...the drug samples were cool to look at,much to the amusement of the teachers.Actually,looking back,the teachers forced/choosing to chaperone were probably trying not to laugh at the whole spectacle,the closet pot smoking muthas.So Ossifer Friedly comes back and does the same boring, shitty presentation once a year,four years in a row.As an aside...Why do they always have the coolest looking cop cars?At the end I remember really protesting the futility of this to the grade eight teacher,but had to join the zombie procession anyways.He shut me up by telling me that the display with all of the cool samples were gonna be there again,and I forgot to protest anymore.I suspected even then that he was one of the of those closet pot smoker types. What the fuk is my point in this rambling paragraph,I ask myself.The point is that they fed ya 90% bullshit.The American "war on drugs" was well on at this point,and they knew that 90% of what they were telling us on those interminable afternoons was bullshit.Marijane was not going to kill us.And fuck,no kid had I ever met had an ambition to be a cokehead at 12.Pointless lying.Actually,the police have NO obligation to tell you the truth.About anything.That is probably the larger point of this rambling memory.They lie.And expect/demand the truth from regular citizens.Even if they gotta beat it outta ya.The only truth in the lecture was that they would arrest you for smoking dope.And if they didn't arrest you,said that they were gonna cut you a break and let you go,it was cause they simply stole it from ya and smoked at their next party,the fukers.
The RCMP actually had a liason officer attached to my son's school.Some yummy looking,young little shit.What a waste.Anyways,he played the good cop role with all of the kids and my boy actually became buddies with him,working as a student rep or some shit.I really had no objection...well actually I DID...but I didn't want to sound too paranoid to a ten year old,so I let it slide.Until he expressed an ambition to enter the RC's himself.Shudder.I quickly brought out my own weapons of persuasion to bear on him...gently,of course,but by the end of middle school,he gave up on that idea,much to my relief.I did not want to see another life ruined by interaction with the police.But it was CLOSE,the fukers almost stole my only kid!
We have also been inculcated,since youth,that poo-lice are there to serve and protect.Now that I am an adult and have seen them in action,I pose the question:WHO are they committed to serve and protect?Us?The constitution?Don't make me barf.With rare exception,the only people they serve are their own damn selves.Looking to keep their jobs,looking to promote themselves,corrupted by the illusion of power that they hold,covering up for each other and the political /money structure.They violate our civil rights on a daily basis.Don't believe me?Try getting pulled over in a car.If a person does not know their rights concerning police procedure,they will rape your rights with illegal questioning,search and seizure,and justify the stop with a lame reason.I had one potlice ossifer justify an illegal stop with the excuse that a sober driver "had gone around a turn too close to the curb"because he thought my partner at the time was driving when he was in the backseat on the driver side and his daughter was in front driving.It was dark and the coop couldn't tell this from his car however,and boy did his face turned 5 shades of white when he arrogantly strolled up to the car and looked at the driver.The memory still makes me grin.When I started questioning him on the stop,he knew he was in shit and got out of there fast!
I have seen them refuse to stop question someone when under arrest and the person said that they would not answer questions until they spoke to a lawyer,which they are not allowed to do.The questions are supposed to stop.Period.I have seen them listen in on confidential calls between lawyer and client.I have seen them get up on the stand in a court room and lie in the accused person's face,trying to secure a conviction on charges that whould have been thrown out,if the truth were known.Fortunately,I have also seen judges take a more cynical view on poolice testimony,some of them,refusing to go along with the status quo,have actually commented that they no longer take the word of a c0p at face value and actually demand EVIDENCE.I almost shit at that one.
We have all watched the snooze....I mean the news.The lamestream actually still reports something of actual truth/value once in a while.As a consequence of this unexpected illumination,we have seen the poolice battle peaceful protests.Aghh,I am sure that you have your own examples of abuse in uniform.If you haven't,what fukin bubble are you living in anyways?Mishandled,corrupt investigations,corrupt ossifiers,beatings of citizens,the list is endless.Shit,remember the young man in NYC that was shot by an offricer 50 times when the man was coming out of a club with some friends,totally innocent and unaware?And what did the police say...a week later?Some shit on how they thought the man was armed,so one osifrier was forced to shoot 50 times.50.Reload,shoot,empty clip.Stop.Reload.Shoot.Reload.Shoot.Without anyone returning fire at any point.Makes ya think.It's a wonder that there wasn't a total riot.But of course the protesters were surrounded by police with loaded weapons.
A trait that seems to be generically inherent in the police ossifrier is the us/them mentality.The thin blue line.The kind of metality that causes them to cover each others crimes,express many of the aforementioned behaviors and be generally socially disfunctional around non-enforcement persons.Unless they are trying to get the goods on them by "going under the covers" because then they are deceiving a person,and therefore can act naturally.
Please,since this post is creeping into the ridiculously lenghty,I will simply mention the revisions to the American constitution due to the "war on terror".Hopefully,I do not need to go further in depth cause if you managed to read this far then you a)have followed the developments on the world stage since the towers b)you do not wish to read my semi-informed take on US politics and,therefore, c)you haven't fallen off of the truck metaphoically as far as critcal thinking skills are concerned.And who's gonna read this shit anyways?I'm just gonna treat it as a diary since I am too cheap to buy one,and I no longer give a shit what the consequences of my opinion are.
That is just a few examples encompassing my opinion,could type all afternoon.
My,I say to myself,what a bitter and wordy windbag you are.Fuk off,self,you know that you've always been longwinded and bitter.Compounded by todays hangover.Maybe one day I will post something in a different vein and tone.Probably not.Who knows,who cares.Shit,I won't even read it after it has been proofread.Have a nice fuking day.
