What is the difference in policing methods between a peace officer and a law enforcement officer?
Here are some examples of what it means to be a peace officer:
How many readers of this article are old enough to remember, as a kid, the cop who gave them a kick up the backside or a clip around the ears when they did something wrong?
How many can remember the instant respect that the uniform got when out in public and on the beat?
How many ex-criminals owe their 'going straight' to the fear generated of being dragged into the police station and the beating to come if they did not tell the truth or toe the line?
How many of us today can think back to the last time, if ever, they were pulled over for some traffic infringement and sternly lectured to about their stupidity rather than being handed a fine?
How many of us today can remember being out in public and in a group of noisy rowdy people who were obviously breaching the peace in the small hours of the morning and then having their heads knocked together by some cops who told them to get off the street?
How many can remember the last time the next door neighbors often and violent domestics were dealt with for good without either trouble maker being arrested on multiple occasions?
Who can remember that once upon a time one could walk into town and wander around knowing you felt safe from society's predators because there was a cop on the beat in the area somewhere?
A good peace officer was also a good cop!
Here are some examples of what a law enforcement officer (LEO) is now made to do:
First of all, today's modern university trained LEO is not permitted to do any of the above peace officer actions! The law enforcement officer would be subject to disciplinary measures, firing or even criminal charges if taking on the role of the peace officer!
The LEO is now trained to be sensitive to minority and religious expectations, to appreciate cultural diversity even if it means that common sense must be suspended so as to better appreciate that which no thinking person would accept, be psychologically aware of special mental health problems, to look for criminality in every 'job' they attend even to the extent of investigating the obvious victim, to treat illegal drug dependency as a 'social problem' and not a criminal concern, to have 'empathy' for everyone they must deal with, but above all be resistant to offered gifts from those victims of crime they have dealt with who may have thought them good at their job because the acceptance of such rewards for a job well done could lead to 'corruption!'
Why is it only the police who are attacked for being corrupt? What about the politicians and the judiciary they work for, how about their corruption which is just so obvious to many?
Some police now wear uniforms that in nearly all aspects of dress look similar in unkempt style to the very people they often arrest. So how does that earn respect?
Cops now have to stand and accept being verbally abused, threatened, intimidated and even put up with minor assault, such as being spat at. How does this inaction against those who really need to be given a hard lesson from authority earn respect?
There is no requirement for modern officers to be of a particular height or weight which has led to some very small of stature officers who are about as threatening to a big hardened criminal or a fundamentalist Muslim, as a sponge cake is to a clown.
If a couple have an argument at home or out in public, and a busybody do-gooder phones for law enforcement both couples are entered onto a police data base for 'domestic violence' argument only incident. In effect, for simply having a normal argument that may have become a little heated those involved in that 'domestic' are then registered on the police data base for future reference as persons of interest.
If one of the couple is assaulted by the other then the person who did the striking and who may happen to own firearms then becomes subject to having his/her firearms seized as a potential killer!
Don't you think it's drawing a long bow to consider an unwarranted strike in the middle of a heated argument is also a precursor for someone being capable of pre-meditated murder!
Today's law enforcement officer must also at some point in their shift do stationary or Random Breath Testing (RBT) of a mandated number of vehicle stops and alcohol testing of the vehicle drivers. It was once legal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration of .08, but this was downgraded some years ago to .05 due to the declining numbers of persons being arrested for Driving under the Influence (DUI). There is now a move within government for the dropping of a driver's alcohol concentration to zero!
No longer are police walking the beat like they once used to. CCTV dominates the public places now which is about as effective as a cardboard cut-out of a cop you may see from time to time taking up space at a Bank or Post Office. Do you the reader still feel safe today when venturing out at night into the city or large town for a bit of fun?
Highway Patrol officers now issue tickets for the most meaningless and obscure of traffic infringements instead of stern lectures or some friendly advice. Lectures, which once had a more meaningful effect on those drivers who deserve to be lectured about their stupidity, are no longer permissible. And the myriad amount of traffic laws that even a judge has to refer to the Traffic Act in Court for determinations, is impossible for the average citizen to be completely aware of while 'special advice' instead of a fine from a highway cop would go a long way in improving that drivers knowledge of traffic laws and respect toward authority!
Being fined means nothing to some people who will just continue to do what they feel like doing!
Unruly juveniles who come under police notice are now given three chances at criminal activity under various Young Offender Acts – which has variations from state to state - before being summoned to answer at Court for strike number four. Due to the limitations on Law enforcement officers to dish out 'summary justice' on the spot to an offending juvenile, there has been a marked increase of re-offending juveniles who go on to become career criminals. Where once upon a time the peace officer would effectively 'nip in the bud' most unruly juvenile's propensity for getting into trouble, the LEO is powerless and this 'powerlessness' is never more exploited than by the criminal element and the up and coming juvenile/criminal offender.
But there is no common sense applied by our lawmakers who generally have never really had anything to do with enforcing their own laws!
And as any good parent is aware of, if you do not apply some form of discipline on your children as they grow and learn, then the chances of them growing into responsible adults are to a certain extent minimized. How is it then that lawmakers, many who are responsible parents themselves, can usher in and put in place such ill thought out laws that allow our young to have three strikes at criminality before being properly dealt with?
There is more truth in the old adage about sparing the rod and spoiling the child than there is in today's airy fairy progressive (Collectivist) thinking!
What kind of police force would you the reader desire, the good cop that is also a peace officer who knows how to nip in the bud the many social problems before they get out of hand or the LEO who is trained by so called academics in a university to be sympathetic to everyone and hard on no one!

The Day America Died
On November 22 this year, 2013, it will be 50 years since the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. This author was twelve years old when this tragic event occurred and can remember exactly where he was and what he was doing at the time. The author can also recall the stunned faces of strangers as the news became common knowledge and the reaction of his parents which was one of dismay, when he returned home on that day now so long ago.
After half a century later and after theory upon theory for why Kennedy was killed and by whom, the question still remains officially unanswered to this day.
Some historical background:
On January 17, 1961, President Eisenhower gave his now famous farewell speech in which he implored future leaders to address the growth of the military industrial complex which if left unchecked would undermine the very system that allowed it to operate.
On April 27, 1961, President Kennedy presented a speech to the American Newspaper Publishers Association that has also become famous for his remarks about secret societies and the ramifications for free and open societies, that if they wish to remain free and open, will necessarily need to limit their government's secrecy.
Also in that speech was his imploring to those newspaper owners to self-censor those news stories that might give their undeclared enemy, the Soviets, any information that could be regarded as having a national security concern. Kennedy was not about to give more authority to the alphabet soup spying agencies which he believed would eventually be used to undermine the very fabric of American society.
But was he right in this assessment?
Also in that speech given on April 27, 1961, was a reference to the undeclared war by an undeclared enemy that used infiltration rather than invasion to gain its ground against the United States. This author believes that if anyone has any doubt at all as to what Kennedy was referring to, all they need do is to cast their eyes at what the United States has now become. It is obvious to this author at least that what Kennedy and Eisenhower warned about has been rather successful in its mission!
We may never know what transpired between President Eisenhower and President- elect, Kennedy when meeting at the White House, but when one looks at the contents of both speeches given by such outstanding and astute leaders within months of each other, one is struck by the urgency of the situation that appears to have been known to both men.
There is now a book on the market going by the title, American Betrayal, by Diana West, who is copping an awful lot of flak from those who choose to guard against what has gone down in America over the past 70 years. The thesis of Ms West's book crosses paths with those two speeches given in 1961 for which this author believes, President Kennedy was assassinated. That act of treachery by an alphabet soup spy agency seeking further controls over the government and the citizenry, also guaranteed the outcome, that America would no longer be the open and free society it once was!

THE AGENDA
What better way for the controlling Elite to have the eyes of the populace that they wish to control through the gradual implementation of their Agenda averted from their tyrannical plan than to introduce Islam –'The Religion of Peace' – into our midst?
Could you the reader think of a more distracting influence for the populace?
Do you the reader also believe that is just pure coincidence that every Western and Westernized nation is now importing Islam, which is the complete antithesis to every value still currently held by those nations that still believe they have a future?
Ask yourself why it is that only the West has sacrificed its wealth through destroying its own manufacturing base to the point that the West is now reliant on those nations that now sell to us what we once made ourselves and that we obediently take in the world's flotsam and jetsam as directed by the United Nations. Only in the West can an outsider become one of its citizens on face value, even though most of those foreigners have no inclination, in fact are encouraged not to, participate in that nation's culture or accept its values.
Do you also honestly believe that it is for the benefit of those nations to be beholden to the United Nations for their political, environmental and social directions?
Do you believe that the United Nations, an unelected and now bloated World bureaucracy reliant on the 'donations' that every nation now latched onto its rotting carcase is directed to give, should be dictating to us what policies we need to be adopting?
This has not occurred without some kind of planning for it to come about. Please do not delude yourself that it is just some kind of coincidence that the West is now on its suicidal path. A retiring British Foreign Secretary once stated words to the effect of: 'No political course comes about by accident'. The name of the person who uttered those words eludes this author, but they were uttered, and it would seem, in a moment of rare honesty.
Can you now see some kind of agenda here in all this, whereby the slow dismantling of the West through immigration, loss of manufacturing and being forced to adopt UN policies via the intimidation of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund to withhold borrowing capacity to governments that refuse to adopt such policies? If you find this reasoning a little hard to swallow then ask yourself why there is such a thing as the United Nations, a World Bank and International Monetary Fund, and what is it exactly that they are in place to achieve?
Do you think they are benevolent or malevolent?
You may also find this interesting: The only nations that are now awake to what the West is doing to itself are those the West once labelled as being behind the Iron Curtain. The West's old enemies, Russia and China and their vassal states, know full well the fate that the West will share in at some point in the future. Vladimir Putin has even given a speech warning his people about the folly of the West and the suicide path it is on! The Chinese and Russians are now shoring up their own currency with similar thinking nations knowing the American Dollar cannot maintain its current world currency status.
They know the American Dollar is about to collapse and what that will entail, do you?
