Telling the Good Guys From the Bad Ones

I am not trying to disrespect the uniform, but those wearing them should not bring disrespect to their uniform, either.  The alarming increase of these videos that appear to be abuse of authority and badges to bully are reason for concern.  In all fairness to the good guys that also stand behind a badge, I don't want to incite such an attitude of mistrust that we make their job harder.

Troubling times are ahead.  It's going to be difficult to tell the good guys from the bad ones.

I don't know if this is some sort of localized tyranny or another step toward Agenda 21, in making people realize their property rights end when law enforcement arrives.

Then there's the guy arrested for the DUI that was apparently teasing the K-9 which is a felony, facing a possible 7 years.  Definitely more than one bad decision was made while he was drinking, but . . . what caught my attention in this, though is the Police dog is named "Chaos."

After viewing the above video, this one was pleasant for sure.

The Name Caught My Attention

I don't know if the name Hershberger is a common Amish name, but these articles pertain to two different families, both Amish.  Clearly the Amish are being targeted.  I'm going to go so far as to call it persecution,  If not religious persecution, then for the simple reason they are predominantly self-sustaining and not dependent upon the government for their subsistence.  Independence does not make for good "sheople!"

The first article pertains to someone who has the audacity to sell pure food, raw milk and raw milk products, specifically.  The dairy lobby is strong, though in Wisconsin.  Mr. Hershberger faced a five day trial and was acquitted on three of the four charges.  The conviction came on violating a "hold order."  He removed the tape from his store refrigerators.  You'd think if our government was so worried about our food supply, they'd stop giving Monsanto a free pass, but then the lobby brings nice gifts . . .

The second article clearly indicated parents who believe in healing by G-d will be targeted, but these parents had taken their daughter for treatment and the daughter didn't want to continue the treatments.  They had sought another doctor and more natural curatives.  Medicine is powerful in the country, more powerful than parental rights or religious rights.  Could be because it truly is the primary belief system of our nation, and most people have woven their secondary religious beliefs around it . . .

I've included the last paragraph from an article at opposing views, in which an appeals court reversed the lower court's decision.  The lower court had said the parental rights and decision should not be overridden.

>>> The hospital is not contending that the parents are unfit, only that chemotherapy gives Sarah an excellent chance of beating the disease. The dispute is solely about “a disagreement between providers and parents over what course of treatment is best for their child,” the hospital said in a written statement.  <<<

And the hospital wins!
