A CBS News investigation found dozens of law enforcement leaders — sheriffs, captains, lieutenants, chiefs of police — buying and illegally selling firearms, even weapons of war, across 23 U.S. states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., from the Deep South to the Midwest, Northeast and California coast.

    This isn’t even the state, this is massive corruption. This is literally what we highlight in other countries when we talk about corruption.

      Yes it is. Who trains, arms, funds and protects these pigs from the populace they terrorize?

        The state wants that power to itself though. These corrupt cops are violating that principle.

          The state wants that power to itself though.

          This is that power working as intended. What did you think the 2nd amendment was really all about? You can’t have white supremacist and well-armed militias ready to repress the population if you don’t arm them in the first place.

          This is just business as usual, and these piggies will get off with barely a slap on the wrist because they were performing their function as intended.
