Buffalo Cops are Unaccountable [we can’t fire them], Immune from Liability, Uncontrollable [they have power to forcibly control us] & Some are Unidentifiable, Wearing No Name Tag on Their Costumes
/
From [HERE] Members of the Buffalo Police Department covered their name tags while guarding Strawboss Mayor Byron Brown’s house Wednesday evening, a dubious practice seen across the U.S. during the recent police brutality protests.
Photos taken by WBFO show at least three white officers with dark tape or fabric over their uniform name tags during a protest last month, which marched to Brown’s private residence in the city’s Hamlin Park Historic District. Two of the officers also appeared to have patched the thin blue line flag, associated with the Blue Lives Matter movement, onto their uniforms.
Buffalo police’s policy manual says that officers must wear their name tag on the “outside of the outermost garments” while in uniform, and that any mutilation or destruction of the name tag must be immediately reported through the chain of command. If the police commissioner determines carelessness was involved, the officer could face a disciplinary penalty.
As for the thin blue line flag, the policy manual specifically says that officers cannot add patches to their uniform or wear “unauthorized insignia.” [MORE]
How did cops acquire the power to make themselves unknown to the public? Probably the same magical place they got their right to forcibly control us.
We are told that governmental power comes from the people. That is, we delegate our individual power to the government for it to act on our behalf through its representatives. In their representative capacity politicians and judges have delegated or granted to police and other governmental workers the power to act. No different than the way an owner of a business delegates powers to his/her employees to act as his/her agents to get business done. However, it goes without saying that people can’t delegate powers or rights they don’t individually possess.
Clearly, citizens have the right to defend themselves and to come to the defense of others but citizens have no right to commit unprovoked acts of violence on other people. So if we have delegated our individual powers to lawmakers and lawmakers have empowered police officers to act on our behalf, how could police acquire the right to commit acts of unprovoked violence on people? That is, initiate the use physical force on people. Can you delegate a right to someone that you don’t have? where does authority, the right to rule others [or the power to give commands that citizens have a moral & legal duty to obey] come from? Asked differently, you don’t have the right to initiate unprovoked acts of force against other people - so how can you delegate or authorize a government representative to do such things? How did police acquire such super-human powers?
All modern statism or belief in “authority” is based entirely on the assumption that people can delegate rights they don’t have.” Larken Rose explains, “the belief in “authority,” which includes all belief in “government,” is irrational and self-contradictory; it is contrary to civilization and morality, and constitutes the most dangerous, destructive superstition that has ever existed. Rather than being a force for order and justice, the belief in “authority” is the arch-enemy of humanity.”
In regard to symbols of authority, such as the police costume, undeceiver Jeremy Locke explains the following:
“Culture seeks to enforce authority by impressing upon the minds of people that they are inferior to law. When people believe that they are worth less than law, they will believe that it is their rightful place to obey.
The symbols that authority uses to create the illusion that people have limited worth are very similar throughout history. The robes of modern judges compare to the robes of royalty. The wigs of late European politics compare to the crowns of royalty. The uniforms of law enforcement and the armor of knights. Captain, general, senator, magistrate, sheriff, prince, lord. Titles, clothing and badges have been used in every culture in history to create the illusion of authority.
Culture focuses the mind on symbols such as honor, loyalty, devotion and duty. Such symbols are not new. It is easy for most people to recognize the foolishness of loyalty to king, dictator or communism. However, people still fall to modern symbols such as law, democracy and patriotism. If the objective of a symbol is obedience, it is evil.
Police officers carry badges to show that they are duly authorized enforcers of the law. They enforce the law upon you, but you did not authorize them. This is the illusion of authority. Culture hides tyranny behind the trappings of meaningless symbolism. It would have you believe that law is authorized to reign over you however it pleases. It hides the fact that only you can give that permission. Instead, it presumes permission by birthright, or by the geometry of your location relative to its borders. It is an illusion.
Should law truly be the authorized agent of defense or production, it would have to receive the permission of every single person it claims to represent. It would have to allow every person to extricate themselves from that authority if law failed to meet its obligation.
Law never seeks permission and never will. It does not represent you, it represents evil.” [MORE]
