I dont see the continuity in your thinking. Talk or dont talk? Any communication with LE in any way shape or form guilty or choir boy status, still will result in nothing positive. Even that photo of Arnold on your wall gives them more insight into who you are. Or the photo on the fireplace mantel of you and your boys during that hunting trip to Montana last elk season. Why would you volunteer all of that info by inviting them into your home and getting on your knees for them? Are you following balcos advise - cooperate and you wont get arrested?
Did you quote my post accidentally? "Talk or Don't talk"?
I've made more than a few posts over the years about law enforcement and I can safely say I've never counseled discussions of any kind with the corrupt Boys In Blue.
When I was a kid its my belief that Law Enforcement, lets focus on Local and State Police in "Any Town USA" from the point of view of a White Male hanging hard in the Middle Class(From a Black America perspective, I know I would view all law enforcement as Racists who seek to extermimate my people. I can understand why that view is prevalent and even accurate.)
was made up of decent human beings with the occasional bad seed.
These days I believe things are, without question, the polar opposite of "The good 'ol days".
The arrogance and lack of understanding about the role they are supposed to play in society today is disturbing. I find myself loathing their existence while simultaneously finding pleasure and shaking my head with a bit of a grin which I equate to a "It serves them right" expression when a report of one those things meeting his or her demise "in the line of duty" which to me means we're putting a "W" in the Good Guys Column today.
Would I invite them into my home and get on my knees for them? I quickly reviewed the small # of posts you've made at meso. A bunch are one liners while most are "safe" which to me means you weren't clearly taking a position except when it made sense to join the majority.
You seem to be comfortable, or hope to appear to be, in the role of the member who is anti authority which means anti cop.
You don't or wouldn't talk to LE and in your younger years...high school/college you would proudly display the "Snitches Get Stitches" bumper sticker and t-shirt.
You've mocked members and seemingly called out myself and member balco, as well?
My question is when and why did you decide to cut your teeth with me?
Also, am i correct that your advice and stance is to never talk to cops and to "don't do the crime if you can't do the time" when it comes to being a cooperating witness for a sentence reduction or holding your mud and doing your time if you were to find yourself looking at 5 or 10 years in prison?
Have you been in these situations and made those tough and grown up decisions or are you telling us you believe yourself to be of strong constitution and that you could decide to spend 5yrs in prison if you were given a way out by agreeing to testify against another man that would have him taken away from his loved ones to serve a 5yr term while you would then serve 18months?
Have you been in these unenviable positions? Or is meso where you go to play make believe?
