COP CRITTERS ( article 2 of 2 today )

Before we begin today, please recall that my father was a police officer. I was an MP in the Army. I only failed to continue in that career field out of lacking the aptitude for it, not for any moral or philosophical reasons. My best friend growing up was a Junior Pig ( Boy Scouts Explorers ), and we both had clear plans as budding LEO's ( I wanted to go into the military, primarily, whereas he had an “in” with the local department through HIS father, also a cop ). This is all background to underline that I have absolutely nothing against LEO's.

*

I wanted to be, and was, one. But I also hold zero illusions as to what they are. I understand what they WERE, and what they have become. I never worshiped them, and was well aware of their faults. I don't look at them as heroic, and never did. It was a vocation. Nor do I view them as evil. Their job has never changed. When I see them with blinders off, it is not to criticize individuals, but rather the system. Just as individual soldiers can be great warriors, but work for people up to no good, so can the police.

*

The police are not your friend. They never were. They are there to protect and facilitate order. They always were. That this included preventing crime was an added bonus but it was never about that. Criminals are apprehended not because they harm citizens, but because their actions harm society ( which the elite profit off of ). The police also do a very good job of preventing competition with the states monopoly on violence. Not because a citizen may be harmed, but because only the state may decide who is harmed.

*

The state does not care if citizens are robbed, as long as they have approved the theft. Nor does it care about casualties, as long as they made the decision. The brutal truth is that people are idiots and pigs and only naked force compels their compliance. And the police are the instrument of that. They are the iron fist of the state, and the state decides if that fist is clocked in velvet, or not. The reason that the police are viewed any different today compared to yesterday is that before, society was ruled by custom, whereas today it is not.

*

Before, the law was the same as those customs and all the government had to do was to be the ultimate enforcer. It had to do very little because people mostly policed themselves. When it was decided that customs must be changed against the consent of the governed, in the divide and conquer for profit paradigm, then the police and the public were no longer in agreement. The police never changed. They were always there to uphold government dictate. The dictate changed, no longer in alignment with culture.

*

The police were no more “fascist pigs” than they ever were. They were no more of a bully than they ever were. What changed is that before the police had no need to interfere with the average citizen, who voluntarily complied with the law, and now they have no choice but to get into everyone's business because everyone was now a criminal just by adhering to traditional customs. The culture which demanded vengeance for justice was now outlawed. The custom that demanded harassment to force conformity to ensure coexistence was outlawed. In short, “responsibility” was outlawed and “reward” encouraged. It was a deliberate break down of social cohesion.

*

If this system makes no sense to you as a citizen, imagine how little sense it makes to LEO's who must enforce an incoherent system on an unwilling public. Not only that, all through the ranks common sense is disallowed and credentialism rewarded. Prior to the break in culture, the meatheads who showed aptitude in physical enforcement, but showed restraint in merely assuring compliance, would be prime police recruit material. There were few bad apples as far as idiots over their heads overreacting. Today? ONLY college educated idiots who check all the bureaucratic boxes are allowed in.

*

I don't mean to ruffle any feathers. Yes, you could ACCIDENTALLY hold the aptitude for this type of work. But the system itself only wanted blind compliance to rules which make no sense, and actively worked against accepting those with the natural aptitude. You succeed, if an old school style cop, in spite of the system as it is now. Now, here is where I'll ruffle feathers, and I don't care. If you buy into the nobility of the profession, into the myth, I submit to you that you have no aptitude for this work. You are, simply, a blind minion to the new system.

*

I don't mean you cannot take pride in your work. I don't mean you don't do SOME good. I mean, a cop is supposed to be a professional. At cracking skulls and kicking ass, to force compliance with order. If you are doing this because you think you are a noble Blue Knight, you are a delusional Kool-Aid drinker. You've bought into the illusion the government wants us all to comply with, that those in uniform are of a higher social order. When the law cannot be rationally followed, worship the holders of the rule book.

*

Cops were meant to be feared, not idolized. And, most importantly, they were to be feared only because you were breaking the law. And when the culture was the law, this was easy and just for the citizens to expect. When the law broke down, and everyone had to fear the police, the police no longer served any real purpose of upholding order. Now they just try to retain some order through blind fear by everyone. Where is the nobility in this? Before, you could respect the tough job of a force tasked with combating those who broke societies conventions. Now?

*

There is no social cohesion. The laws don't make sense, nor are they meant to. The police by definition must be as dysfunctional as the law has become. There is no more professionalism, as the job is impossible. The police were ALWAYS a tribe of us against them, but the Them were always real criminals. Now everyone is a criminal against the bureaucracy. Criminality loses its distinction, as does the enemy of the police. Before, with a unified culture, compliance was enforced by the citizenry. Only the violent or crazy needed the police response. Now, compliance is impossible with no unified culture. When the citizens battle each other, the police are tasked with compliance rather than just violence suppression.

*

Police are recruited with the lie of being peace officers while they are merely law enforcement. They are recruited with the lie that they alone ensure peace ( when peace WAS ensured by the public, before ). They are hired being told enforcing the law is the same as protecting the public and ensuring peace. Their organization is run by incompetents leading the incompetent because your fellow officers are hired according to compliance rather than aptitude. And that is PRIOR to the school educated Diversity Hire incompetents crowding out the school educated mildly competent, with only the occasional officer having any aptitude.

*

Having an aptitude and being somewhat competent are NOT the same thing. Posers and the inept can accidentally gain competence. That is the only reason so many departments function at all. Which, given all the constraints, is a minor miracle unto itself. And those with the aptitude only make a career of it by accident, because they are not who the elite want policing the street. They actually want the public to irrationally fear the police. It helps with the discord. And the poor bastards working the beat have nary a clue.

*

This all makes for a very different dynamic come collapse than we have been lead to believe. I'll continue this tomorrow, but in a different vein. Why institutions have failed and why they cannot be reformed. Even if the elites didn't want dysfunction, that is all that is possible anyway.

note: global oil production has been flat for almost 15 years, except from the US and Iraq.  And the US production has been all from fracking.  Which peaks in years rather than decades, compared to conventional crude.  If you don't see a problem with this, you should buy a bargain price bridge in New York City, right next to a neighborhood full of peaceful Diversity immigrants.  Article is HERE .  More in the same vein HERE .  Pretty short articles-you won't hurt yourself learning how screwed we are.
