It’s strange and sort of an oxymoronic statement in Gumshoe’s way of thinking that misguided folks want to weaken as well or entirely eliminate the police.
It’s like the “group think” of sheep (who only know how to graze and stampede) who want to get rid of the sheepdog with their moronic belief that they can reason with the wolves. In their mutton minds, the sheepdog makes them nervous. Baaaaaa! Humbug! Gimcrackery at its best.
Note: Google Lt. Colonel David Allen Grossman for additional context about sheepdogs and sheep. He is one of my mentors.
It is way past the time to DEFEND our police! They protect our lives and property and our way of life. Without security, no one and no thing is safe “don’t cha know?”
The next time you see a police officer, thank them and let them know that they MATTER and that you have their “6”.
Let’s change that “U” in defund to an “E”—it’s that easy and the right thing to do for the sheep that are among us for their own good.
Once a sheepdog, always a sheepdog is Gumshoe’s mantra.
Remember to love the ones who love you, and try to love the ones who don’t.

Your words resonated with me. We are in LIKE-THINK.
My recent post “The Giver & the Takers”
… echo’s your thoughts about the “misguided” folks

Mindlessness … lawlessness … violence & blaring IGNORANCE seems to be the prevailing wind in certain communities.
“Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.” ~ Isaac Asimov
God help the people who reside in these communities because law enforcement can’t effectively act (another subject entirely)
If one understands human behavior, you could say they were acting like toddlers … who, at times, demand to have their way. This can be accepted in tiny beings who are brailing their world. This behavior tests parental authority. A parent worth their salt knows it is WRONG to cave in to the demands of a kicking & crying toddler.
It is an exponentially greater WRONG to cave into the “demands” of anarchists … who, in this case test governmental authority.
DESTROYING, tearing down, looting, robbing .and violence … is the behavior of an invading army. WAKE UP !!!
Likening this to a “block party” or a “Love-fest” is utter LUNACY … utter STUPIDITY … chosen BLINDNESS
“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
This army has NO apparent regard for the country they are invading. Their mission is taking away & tearing down.
When they are done tearing down and taking away: I’m curious what THEY will build … what THEY will contribute … what monuments THEY will erect?
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe” ~ Albert Einstein
Praying for our “defenders”
In His Light, Fay
Great article babe, of course you know my stance on this idiotic suggestion by idiotic people who have idiotic ideas. Like I wrote in one of my articles just recently, you will see a Domino affect that will result in lives being lost, evidence not being established for any crime committed. But look what has happened when one tries to defend their homes! It is beyond understanding and what goes around comes around.
Thanks Nightingale for your welcome comment—let’s pray that the “dominos” don’t ever fall on our watch.
Danny: I for one find it inconceivable that people really want to reduce funding to police departments, or totally eliminate them. Society then becomes the survival of the fittest. Or to put it another way, he who has the biggest gun survives. Aren’t these fools the same ones that want to take our guns? Then what? Survival of the one with the biggest club or longest knife? I have no problem with some retraining, changed rules of engagement even, and weeding out any bad apples. However, I think society could best be served by weeding out the bad apples in our government, and defunding terrorist organizations like BLM, Antifa, etc. The police are not the problem. The problem is that we have created a godless society where hate and distrust rule.
You are right on my friend. When God has been removed from our public squares and schools and replaced by secular thinking, we are definitely on the road to perdition. Let’s build up rather than tear down. Vet all people in authority and hold all accountable in their actions. Thanks for your continued dialogue my friend.
