The worm at the core of our misery.
Division is at the root of everything.
Let me start with a question.
Can there be a good order/follower?
Quick answer: no.
But here’s what most people don’t realize: Not every cop is an order/follower. This is a very unpopular opinion among guys like me. You know, guys that question everything and never trust the government? Yeah, these guys usually have a disdain for cops and army members.
But somehow…That was never me. I always liked the military. Maybe because I grew up near Halifax and saw the big frigates from the Canadian Navy (very impressing as a kid!). Maybe it’s because I fed myself some Jocko Podcast for years and read every military book there is out there. The Taliban Don’t Wave is a personal favourite. Steel My Soldier’s Heart too. These books introduced me to some fine men and women. Heroes in the shadows. But more importantly, it showed me that not every military member is an order/follower. Au contraire, most of the higher-ups are extremely mature and balanced human people that would put to shame 99.9% of the protesters. They would take a bullet without a single second of hesitation to save one a human being. How many virtue-signaling protesters would say the same?
I came across a story a few days ago that made my heart sink. It is the story of a young female officer in Quebec who is ready to throw in the towel. This story is a classic one in Canada, if you have friends in the RCMP. I heard it too often.
Yes, this is an emotional letter and the tone is fed-up. I like it. This is the story of A. (translated from french):
“You don't know what it means for us to get up, morning, evening and night to go to work ... to eat and sleep at irregular hours when we can ... and to have so little recognition, to be so little respected, if judged and if misunderstood...
How many of you in your work are called "big dirty pigs" or "bitch" repeatedly? Do you see the walls of your city lined with "fuck accountants" or "fuck the carpenter"? ACAB = all cop are bastards .... How often do you see “all dentists are bastards” graffiti?
This is hatred to which we are constantly exposed.
I saw a 14-year-old child lying lifeless on the ground after jumping down from an electric tower.
I saw two men who literally blew their brains.
I’ve seen dozens of fatal accidents.
I saw 3 people drowned.
I saw three hanged.
I saw two people killed by medication.
I saw an 18 year old girl who died of an overdose.
I have seen dozens of natural deaths.
And I announced four deaths.
I returned hundreds of people, some by force, to the psychiatric emergency because they posed a danger to themselves or to others. And among those, I saw them come out after a few hours ... I saw some that in the following month, finally killed themselves. I saw that we had to return three times in the same week. I made references to the CLSC for poor people, I made references for therapies for various addictions. I gave tickets, but I gave MUCH chances to people.
I believe that I saved lives by removing some people from the road who had drunk too much. I have accompanied people in the legal process. I got to help people who were stuck in the snow, I changed tires, I comforted people, I did family mediation during crises.
I ate punches, kicks. I have seen colleagues injured in traffic accidents in a hurry to go and help a citizen. I saw the police get charged with the crime for that. I have also seen police officers charged with trying to save their lives in the face of violent individuals. I thought I would have to take the life from someone who was begging me to shoot him with the foam in my mouth. I jumped over fences to check a business, ran after a bandit, walked long hours in the cold to find a lost person. I even sent a dog's head to Mapaq already ... (the dog was already dead). And then.... I also saw a policeman doing a horrible thing:
One... and I don't have all the details ... in 15 years of police, on my pocket phone ... it was in Minneapolis ... And for this gesture, how many are condemned, judged? Did you only hear a police officer say "wow good job from Chauvin"? No, on the contrary, the gesture was condemned by all, including us ... I want to bawl, shout, resign ... am I emotional? Yes I am. Why so much?
Because it makes me mad to see how people can afford to be stage managers like this when they wouldn't be able to spend a week in our boots. You don't know what you can go through, all that you can see, all the life experience that you can gain by doing this work. And yet, you allow yourself to judge our interventions.
Wondering why the police community stands together?
It's simple: For everything I just named. Because no one else can understand. I'm part of the blue family and I'm proud of it. Nobody is going to take that away from me ... With that, dear fellow citizens, I sincerely hope that the trend is reversed, that the silent majority who supports us stands up and shares their great experiences with the police, that they defend us in public even if it is not fashionable. these days ... it is time that the pendulum is reversed and that this madness of "shitting" stops on the people who decided to make this career to answer the call and run towards danger when you will go to the exit to protect yourself.”
She isn’t the only officer like that in Canada. Many –too many– quit because of the same reasons mentioned in her text. I know a few that are quite depressed. They can’t quit, cause they are stuck in the debt trap, but gee, it’s getting to them to be treated day after day so badly in Quebec.
Society as know -and like- needs some... order. Yes: some order. Order isn’t bad. If we would live in a different place and time, we wouldn’t need the police. But we are stuck in a paradigm (that I don’t like), but for the paradigm to work at some level, we need some order. I wish we could go back in time and abolish the school reformation of the Rockerfeller, but it is too late now. Most people are insane, broken to the core, separated from the Universe, and in a state of steady-childhood. You can write anything on the tabula rasa.
Yes, war is a racket, yes crime was manufactured by the CIA and the Deep State, yes the fiat currency system is absolutely insane, but we are in this sort of weird hunger game and most people like it. You cannot abolish one part only of the system: the whole system would need to change at its very core (the root of every problem is the separation of the self with the higher self). To abolish the cops part of the equation is foolish. It’s manufactured crisis by the Elites. Abolishing police brutality makes sense, nobody is arguing on that. But the brutality part comes from division, and nothing else. Those orders/followers are broken human beings, nothing more, nothing less. Evil is born from the separation from you to the Divine aspect of the creation. Lucifer was cast away from the Heavens (the Highest Good That Is Possible) because of his arrogance, says the book of Isiah. But what arrogance exactly? That one could exist outside of the creation. Separated from it all. That is exactly why Jesus had to come on Earth, according to the judeo-christian narrative: to re-unite the humans with God. They won’t teach the Good News that clearer in any church on Earth.
Okay, one more thing related to Christianity: When the Gods said that they created us in their images, it was at what % level? 10% like them? 50% like them? Or… could it have been… 100% like them? God-creator, architect of the better world? Yeah, exactly. 100% like God, which means that we are the totality of the Creation (not ex-nihilo however), and not only 0.001% of it, like the actual school system taught us. We are our brothers, our sisters, the willows by the river and the stars shimmering a light of hope in the darkest of our days. The moon is there to remind ourselves of the cosmic balance. I am bouncing at the limit of the noumenon of words. At this point, the written language is a poor choice.
Think about the last two paragraphs.
No, really. Think about it.
For we conditioned the youth to think they could exist “out there”, separated from the cosmos and the All. This created a deep trauma in each and every one. It makes people insane. You cannot exist in harmony with others if you aren’t in harmony with yourselves. You really think that a cop beating a black man understand the root of his racism or aggressiveness? Of course not.
The system created fucked-up people. We should be rioting against the school system that lied us on every level possible.
Back to the cops.
What makes the cop a bad cop is the lack of training and education. You see, it is like if the system engineered a hybrid between a military police and a mall security agent. Most cops are underpaid, under-trained, and have to do miracles with very little assistance.
It is a vicious circle. They get bad rep cause there’s still a bunch of bad apple. The problem is clearly a leadership one too: The leader tolerates bad behaviours. The whole team is screwed by a few bad apples that needed to get fired. But they don’t get fired… they stay in the system… and they and the rest of them grow jaded... thus reinforcing this circle on and on until something tragic happens.
As a society, we need to ask ourselves what we value. I personally value democracy, freedom and human lives. However, because many people are broken in this crazy despolient system, we need some safe guard. I do believe in the goodness of human nature, but once in a while, a crazy dad or a crazy mon wanting to hurt others need to be tamed. I am not ready to live in a society where rapist can get away. I don’t like too much law and order neither: there is a middle ground. And you know what we need more of? Not more laws or regulations. There are too many of them already. No. We need good cops: people with a heart and soul, critical thinkers. Someone that can decide to not go by the book like a good order/follower, but rather someone that can be the judge-on-scene.
And we are losing them, and will lose many more, if as a society we decide to treat them all as criminals. You’d be surprise to see that, most cops anyway, are actually just human beings in need of a hug, a cold brew, and a good job cheer-up.
We need those judge-hidden-in-plain-sight public servant. Granted, respect is earned. But everybody needs a chance to prove their value. An order/follower is not what every cop is. We are losing those who wear the uniforms that are not orders/followers. And the problem is that we are losing those true public servants. The basket will be left with orders/followers only, and that’s a problem.
I don’t want to live in a world filled with Stormtroopers.
Cheers,
J
