Deepest condolences to the families & fellow officers of the VA State Police who died today. You're all among the best this nation produces.

When it comes to flying choppers, well, not so much.
The cops have always sided with the establishment, regardless of which that is. Fifty years ago, cops were cracking the heads of hippy protestors in Chicago and even gunning down war protestors. Indeed, BLM has been calling for more dead cops, and getting exactly that.
So who's counter culture now?
The same old, drugged-up, Boomers absolutely hated cops when they were young. Wasn't it they who first started calling police officers "pigs"?
That's the hell of it: the establishment just can not help themselves. They always serve up the red pills, regardless. When they shot four kids at Kent State, there went every last bit of good will that resulted from Nixon's election, and the stage was set for a certain defeat in Vietnam.
As Ghandi* pointed out:
First, they laugh at you
Next, they fight you
Then, you win
We've reached Level 2 here
*How is it that the same country that can produce a Ghandi, a Ramanujan, or a Madhava can produce "people" that can't even be house broke?
