Using DHS grant funding for something that actually protects the public and supports the concept of public safety is much better than all the misuse and fraud involving homeland security funds that Cal EMA/OES has been accused of doing for years.

Chief– YES indeed— if you have a pervasive and widespread distrust of cops that leads you to action– I DO think you need a tin foil hat. Yes.

I have seen good cops and bad ones–exactly like ANY other professuion/occupation. Without documenting my CV, I too have extensive experience crossing over into the LE world. For every bad cop story I can tell you 5 good ones easy.

Should your caution be up? Yes of course. In life you should walk alert to whats around you, but I have far more paranoia from the knowlege of the thousands of parolees that i know live in my County, than from the fuzz little buddy.

@ Ted Steele, do you honestly believe that since many of us don’t trust cops any longer we are all in need of tin foil hats? I hope not because if you can’t read and understand what is going on in America today you haven’t studied history and are, at best, naive. I don’t believe in Roswell aliens, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster or Crop Circles; not sure about the FEMA camps yet, but I do see that America is not the same place I grew up in during the 50’s and 60’s and the cops today suffer from poor selection and hiring practices, overt militarization, PC run amok and the post 9/11 “everyone is terrorist syndrome”. I worked with PD as a FF Lt. and EMS Chief and as a small town volunteer EMA Director, that would be OES if you hail from La La Land. I know that we had our share of rogue LEO types who would pepper spray or tase you faster than you can imagine for almost anything that ticked them off. Back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s those types were starting to outnumber the ones I could/would trust. Now..forget it. I keep my mouth shut around any cops and avoid them like the plague. Just remember they have no legal obligation to protect you, their goal is “office safety” and if they have to put you in or on the ground to keep so, they will. Maybe you’re a troll, or what we FF called a s_ _t stirrer; I’m not sure. Either way, wake up, seriously, and smell the coffee.

CJ– You are 100% correct. And you have to ask yourself this– Why hasn’t the federal gov EVER admitted it has the Roswell alien bodies?

They must think we are rubes!

The sad truth is that crime and criminals will continue to thrive.
Meanwhile, law-abiding citizens will increasingly fall victim to this “Skynet.”

The fact is that movies like “Matrix” and “Terminator” were inspired by real government-funded research that the script writers were privy to.

This is GOING to happen. The appetite of power-mad government bureaucrats for every shred of information about you, your family, your friends, your habits, etc. is INSATIABLE.

YOUR government owns and operates “endless fields” of supercomputers simulating every aspect of our American life – all 300 million of us. One of their highest priorities is to “fill in the blanks” with real information about real people. That means YOU.

We can all name more Duncey. It’s the price of using humans to enforce the laws of our social compact. Robots maybe? Or how about the honor system?

Bad and vile people work in government? Well, a few maybe for sure like in any human population.

You remain a kook sir. But you’re fun. Have a super duper day little buddy!
