      Being a traitor and being police/military is not the same. I’m suspicious of police AF but betraying your country is a bigger leap than liking guns.

        Through a lot of the recent bullshit, the police were shaking hands with Proud Boys and turning their heads to miss crimes committed by them. Multiple police forces were entirely dismantled and rebuilt because there were zero salvageable members of them. And that only happened when their behavior got too much national attention.

        The “boys club” that is the police takes the above and makes it worse. For most cops, if 1/3 of their force is all doing something, they’re going along with it out of fear of rejection or even fear of reprisal.
