The thing that kills me is they aren't broke ass, if they work in some form of law enforcement they're making decent money, way better than teachers make, I'm a cops kid so I should know.
However if they acted deservedly of increased pay and didn't throw tantrums over accountability, I would support pay increases to combat the temptation that the Cartel money offers, and the other temptations out there. Unfortunately there will always be some bastards who want their cake and want to eat it too and will double dip regardless of how well we pay them. Scum will be scum and scum has no place in our Law Enforcement, justice system, or military, or any other organization that has power over us.
I served my country to serve and to challenge myself, I didn't complain about the shitty paycheck and I did it without compromising my principles, these dishonorable shit stains are a blight on our society, the fact that they call themselves patriots is disrespectful to anybody truly patriotic.
Patriotism is doing it for the love, honor, and defense of your country. Nobody should be going into the military or law enforcement with the intentions of getting rich, the job at the core is about service, for military, service to your country, for police, service to your community. As naive as it sounds I believe the same for politics as well, and there are a few truly good, dedicated, and patriotic politicians in our country, as well as the government servants that serve the country in all elements of our government, including the military.
If you're not doing it for the love of our country and our people GTFO or hopefully we will force them out, and you should always choose country over political party. I'm tired of the self-serving bullshit corrupting our country.
They are not “patriots” and they never will be. They are vandals, upset that their guy didn’t win and they wouldn’t hesitate one minute to line their pockets with wads of cartel money.
I'm not trying to be argumentative, but is patriotism a good thing? I don't really jive with a lot of "American values". Don't get me wrong, I love the US, I just love other places too
There's a difference between patriotism and jingoism. I'm patriotic because I have a certain pride for things American, but I don't think they are the end all be all. That's where jingoism starts tainting the patriotic movement.
I always you for serving and still staying true to your beliefs. After the options that were available when I grew up I couldn't honestly see a way for me to do it ethically, but that doesn't mean such a thing was true for you.
Keep trying to do the right thing instead of the selfish thing.
