In reply to the discussion: We Need To Stop Trusting The Police [View all]SamKnause
(13,114 posts)2. Stop trusting cops you say ????
That ship sailed long ago for me.
My trust in our criminal and civil justice system is gone.
My trust in the "Supreme Court" is gone.
My trust in our militarized police is gone.
My trust in government officials is gone.
My trust in our economic system is gone.
My trust in our military "leaders" is gone.
My trust that 'Separation of Church and State' will be adhered to is gone.
My trust in our penal system is gone.
There is scant to no trust in anything our politicians say, or do.
My trust for the Tea Party, or Republicans is gone.
My trust for Democratic politicians that push for bipartisanship with the insane Tea Party and Republicans is gone.
There is little to be proud of, or trust about the current situation facing the US.
