Masked Law Officers

 

Masked Law Officers

I have lived 85 years as an American citizen. For 84 of them there were no masked law officers on our streets. Under MAGA that is no longer so. In my early teens I watched an imaginary masked lawman of early America called the Lone Ranger. This mythological hero left saved damsels in distress and left a silver bullet (not one in the basket). We liked it that way. Be careful what you wish for!

Today there are federal law officers on the streets of major American cities that are masked. They are masked for good reason. They don't wish to be recognized while doing illegal acts. They arrest US citizens, and folks legally in the US along with folks who are not here legally. All that they need to do to qualify for arrest is to be a person of color, preferably Hispanic of Native American descent and not be able to prove their citizenship. I can't prove my citizenship. I carry a driver's license, but no passport or birth certificate and a driver's license is not adequate proof. I don't worry because I am Caucasian.

To you folks willing to walk a thousand or so miles north to escape masked police (while seeking asylum) forget it. Masked police are now available in US major cities.

What of our elected representatives? Are they rising as a single voice to stop this practice of masked police? Are they introducing a Constitutional Amendment to stop the madness? We are the people who voted for them but are entitled to nothing in return. Instead they are taking action to redistrict, take away the representation for Democrats, Republicans, Brown Folks and ?s.

Representatives who stand up for you, not their party's leader with large dollar interests are now very rare. They may talk like an intelligent person, but they vote like a rubber stamp guided by large dollar interests. If you don't believe that you are not watching carefully.

When I was a young man I had friends who were police officers. None wore masks at work. They served the public. They were our friends and neighbors. They believed that the law benefited the public. We knew them. None wore masks. Let your children know unmasked police officers.
