The problem with the police : Comments

By David Leyonhjelm, published 1/11/2024

For libertarians, maintaining a criminal justice system, of which the police are a major component, is viewed as one of the few legitimate roles of government.

Sinister black uniforms were supposed to make the police look more authoritative or scary looking, but it doesn't seem to be working, with more of them being assaulted and even killed. People are starting to think that police are afraid to deal with anyone who is not a white person. They certainly haven't attracted much respect since Covid. Who ever thought that they would be firing rubber bullets at Australians, in Australia!

As with all ‘authorities’ in Australia, police are part of an increasing authoritarianism that voters are too lazy or too disinterested to do anything about. Just keep on voting Liberal/Green Labor for more of it, you fools.

This is the part of the missing equation as what can the individual do which might actually have a meaningful democratic outcome.

What we are presented with is a Coles and Woolworths V Aldi. (Pauline Hanson or the Greens).

I genuinely resent a system that persecutes me for wishing to be ignored by those who, through manipulation of power, force upon me their toxic ideology.

Voting with a bullet has more enduring outcomes! That is historical fact.

When I see the left wing radicals machine gunned in the street, I’ll begin to take interest !

I'm 100% supportive of Police but I most definitely draw the line at Coppers !

DD,

"Voting with a bullet has more enduring outcomes! That is historical fact."

Such a call on a public forum should land you in hot water.

Bonger 1405.

If blind Freddy can work this out, why can’t you?

Here is a question: If thousands die from a bullet in war, and believing that the outcome from that event culminates in a positive winning side in a contest, where is the problem in believing that outcome to be true?

It’s not wrong a State for good example, goes to war in defence of a certain established status quo put under threat by an outside attacker.

I think yours are crocodile tears .

diver dan,

You are obviously a man of violence, having made calls for violence in the past on this forum, you followed that, "voting with a bullet" rubbish with; "When I (DD) see the left wing radicals machine gunned in the street, I’ll begin to take interest!" What kind of interest? You probably see me as one of those "left wing radicals" along with the members of the 'Sowers and Seamstress Guild' and the fellas from the 'Royal Order of Elks", who can tell.

These public forums attract their fair share of fruitcakes, and in your case I'm not sure whether you are of the light or dark variety, maybe even a boiled one. Its not my forum, but those statements could insight some demented follower(s) of yours to literally do as you say.

Bonger 1405.

You’ve put it in a nut shell.

This Country has a dire need for leadership, not slavish following.

There aren't sufficient numbers of Police ! In our town, the Police Station sign is not even lit at night. There are several coppers who drive around during daylight hours preying on the harmless who might miss a Stop sign or have the seat belt twisted or have a pair of thongs lying in the tray of a ute. After hours, a gang of very young hoods steal from boats opposite the Police Station or break into houses & businesses because it is common knowledge that there aren't Police on the beat ! In fact, right across the road from the station is the rowdiest section of the town at night ! If they do get called out, they give ample warning to hoods with sirens or flashing lights. Real Police whose hands are tied by do-gooders & magistrates have to watch in frustration !
I blame society for this deplorable situation. I just hope the new State Govt in Qld can act out its promise to get tough on crime. Let's hope a few coppers & Magistrates are made to pull out their fingers !
