Some estimates say that two million Americans are victims of violent crimes every year, a tragic staggering number, perhaps an all time record rate of violent crime. But there are almost 300 million Americans, which means that the odds of being a victim of violent crime is considerably less that one in a hundred on any given year. Furthermore, since many violent crimes are committed by repeat offenders, the actual number of violent citizens is considerably less than two million.
Living in Chicago...I agree that the chance of facing a violent crime are rare....I can attest to the fact that my friends as well as myself, all of us white and professional, have had much worse run ins with the police aka "sheepdogs" then the "wolves."
The police are an illusion of protection....Ask the five women murdered at Lane Bryant...What do you expect the police to do?
They are an "after the incident" response system...They routinely solve crimes because of civilian cooperation or the information of other criminals. There is no miracle "police work." They are not necessarily heroes. They can be heroes.
"“Then there are the sheepdogs,” he went on, “and I am a sheepdog. I live to protect the flock and confront the wolf.” If you have no capacity for violence, then you are a healthy, productive citizen, a sheep. If you have a capacity for violence and no empathy for your fellow citizens, then you have defined an aggressive sociopath, a wolf. But what if you have a capacity for violence, and a deep love for your fellow citizens? What do you have then? A sheepdog, a warrior, someone who is walking a hero’s path. Someone who can walk into the heart of darkness, into the universal human phobia, and walk out unscathed."
It would seem that someone has delusions of granduer. Walk out unscathed? How many cops abuse alcohol or drugs, beat their wives or kids or commit suicide?....How many cops, "sheepdogs" feed on the lambs?
"The sheep generally do not like the sheepdog. He looks a lot like the wolf. He has fangs and the capacity for violence. The difference, though, is that the sheepdog must not, cannot and will not ever harm the sheep. Any sheepdog that intentionally harms the lowest, little lamb will be punished and removed. The world cannot work any other way, at least not in a representative democracy or a republic such as ours."
What a load of crap! Punished and removed my ass! The sheep don't like the sheepdog cuz they are assholes. They use racial profiling. They are lazy. They have forgotten why they joined the force....They will never "punish or remove" one of their own unless absolutely forced...Their union will protect them...Regardless of whether they are beating up a defenseless bartender, shooting up a car or speeding on the wrong side of the road and killing innocent "sheep."
When I step out of the house I am much more concerned with having a shitty run in with my "protective blue egg shell" then a brown or white criminal...The criminal is going to do their thing regardless of whether there is a sheep dog a mile away or not...the cops are an opportunity feeder.....Give them the opportunity and they will feed.
No thank you...I'll still stick with the criminals. I will know to expect the worse and never be disappointed. Cops...I still expect some glimmer of hope....So fucking sad.
Drew Peterson was a cop....He was in good company.
