Why Have Police In America Turned Into Such Ruthless Thugs?

Ruthless Thugs?
Author: Michael Snyder
Once upon a time, the police were one of the most respected institutions in America, but now most Americans fear them.
Almost every single day there are multiple stories of police brutality or misconduct that make the national news.  Just this week, there have been stories about police killing a baby deer at an animal shelter, about police killing a 95-year-old World War II veteran in a retirement home, and about police using legal technicalities to “legally” steal massive amounts of money from innocent citizens.
Why are police acting like this?  Why have police in America turned into such ruthless thugs?  In the case of the baby deer that was killed, 13 armed agents stormed the animal shelter up in Wisconsin where it was being cared for.  Is this really the kind of country that we want our children to grow up in?
A country where Bambi is hunted down by armed thugs working for the government?  Sadly, the story about that deer is not an isolated incident.  The truth is that police all over the country kill animals every single day.  In fact, police in Chicago have shot 488 animals since 2008.  No wonder people are so afraid to have the police come to their homes.
Increasingly, police departments all over the United States are being transformed into military-style units.  These days, even very minor violations of the law can result in a SWAT team raid.  The following is from a recent article by John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute…
Consider that in 1980, there were roughly 3,000 SWAT team-style raids in the US. By 2001, that number had grown to 45,000 and has since swelled to more than 80,000 SWAT team raids per year. On an average day in America, over 100 Americans have their homes raided by SWAT teams.
In fact, there are few communities without a SWAT team on their police force today. In 1984, 25.6 percent of towns with populations between 25,000 and 50,000 people had a SWAT team. That number rose to 80 percent by 2005.
But it is not just local police departments that are being militarized.  This is happening on the federal level as well.  In fact, according to Whitehead even the Department of Education and NASA now have their own SWAT teams…
When it comes to SWAT-style tactics being used in routine policing, the federal government is one of the largest offenders, with multiple agencies touting their own SWAT teams, including the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Consumer Product Safety Commission, NASA, the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services, the US National Park Service, and the FDA.
What in the world does NASA need a SWAT team for?
The police culture in America has fundamentally changed.  In the old days, most police officers were extremely helpful and would give you directions or help you get your cat out of a tree.
But if you stop and ask a police officer for help today, you will be lucky if all you get is some dirty language.  These days, police all over the nation are actually being trained to bark orders at you and to respond to the least bit of resistance with overwhelming force.
The results of this kind of training can often be extremely tragic.  Just the other day, a 95-year-old World War II veteran living in a retirement home near Chicago was murdered by police just because he did not want to undergo high-risk surgery…
A 95-year-old man who served his country during World War II is now dead after police stormed his retirement home with riot shields, Tasered him and shot him with bean bag rounds – all because he adamantly refused to undergo high-risk surgery.
U.S. Army Air Corps veteran John Wrana, who was honorably discharged as a sergeant after he served in the India-Burma campaign, used a walker because family members said he was “wobbly” on his feet, according to the Chicago Tribune. The elderly veteran was shot down by enemy fire during the war.
On July 26, a doctor reportedly told Wrana if he survived surgery, he would likely be put on life support. The elderly man refused the operation, and paramedics attempted to involuntarily transport him for medical treatment. He was sitting in a chair, holding a cane and a shoe horn when police arrived at the Victory Centre senior living facility located just south of Chicago.
Why did the police have to act like that?
Is there any police officer out there that cannot physically handle a 95-year-old man?
That 95-year-old veteran survived fighting the Japanese, but he was not able to survive the thuggish behavior of our own police.

The elite have set in motion their bid to get control over us by making sure that they hire a bunch of low IQ, egotistical thug style men who will do their bidding against us. It's time we put these guys in jail for what they are doing. The police used to have to be physically fit, mentally sound, honest, uphold the constitution, and protect the citizens of this country. Most of the policemen were good honest, helpful citizens. Now the policemen are promised sophisticated weaponry to use against us, as long as they follow the protocols of the elite, and they have learned how to steal from the people whatever they want, and they have no respect for the people, and the constitution and bill of rights is apparentlty no longer followed by them. It's time for us to take the law into our own hands, put these thugs in jail and bring the constitution and honest police back into being. Part of the problem is that this federal government is trying to outlaw Christianity and God from being involved in any part of civil life, and it shows you that that is exactly what we need to put back into civil life for a peaceful citizenry that gets along well and operates smoothly.

#1. The vetting process of recruits was changed in the early to mid '90's. The selection parameters were changed; (probably by fed guidelines).
I was a municipal employee, the city/town PD HQ in the same building as general offices...
#2. I witnessed the change in the behavioral character of the recruits, going from polite and friendly to shaven head body building thuggish types. Looks like it has been by design.

I have a friend who is head of security for a major corporation. He told me a couple weeks ago that there was a training seminar for police and heads of security on how to deal with those of us who question the police authority. It shows that we are getting to them and they are scared because he mentioned that they are being trained to not lose their cool (they don't want to keep getting sued and having leins put on them... hahaha!!!) How amazing is that? It may take a while, but if enough of us keep fighting the good fight we'll get our nation back on track and kick these thugs out!

ALWAYS QUESTION AUTHORITY.
