Why should law enforcement be celebrated? Is enforcement of the law through threats of violence and coercion really be celebrated especially when most laws that are broken are victimless.?
I thinks it's irresponsible and pathetic to allow others to force their will over yours, especially when you have not committed aggression against others. At that point you're a slave with no control over your own will.
There's no point of having police at any parade because that's not usually a place where aggression occurs. If anything the likely hood of aggression increases with police presence.
Why should law enforcement be celebrated?
Because they are the ones who protect your ability to live a free and reasonably safe life.
If you think there should be no cops, I think you're insane and should move to Somalia and try it out.
If you do agree that having cops around is a good idea, then are cops not allowed to be gay? Do gay cops not get the same rights that non-cop gays get?
Also about the Somalia thing. If you knew anything about the politics there you would know that it is a bunch of government factions trying to fight for land ownership using threats of violence and coercion. So technically it's a bunch of mini states having a localized war. Basically a small scale version of our world.
But I never asked them to protect me. Every interaction I've had with cops (speeding, broken tail lights, seatbelt violations) I have been coerced into paying them money based on victimless crimes.
I never said we should not have security. We should be able to hire people to have security. Malls, businesses, parking lots have security and they have a 0 kdr (kill death ratio).
Cops initiate violence and coercion more than the citizens do. Cops are not security. They enforce law, they don't protect and serve.
Where the fuck did you inflate that I said cops can't be gay. All I meant was, if you're going to dress up in a costume that makes you believe you have authority over people's will and sovereignty then you should probably not go to a parade that is celebrating people's claim to sovereignty.
(Also if you're going to rely on cops and law for your moral compass then you really haven't thought this through. You only do as your told. Which is the slave mentality. Wake the fuck up.)
Seems rather intolerant for a parade demanding tolerance.
Almost as if this movement has lost it's way.
I support gay rights 100%.
I don't support any bigoted groups or intolerant cultures. So Edmonton-Pride can go fuck itself.
Cops can be gay, and the Edmonton fags should celebrate those law enforcement agencies that have protected them and supported them.
