Calling For Return Of The Peace Officer

Good Cop

Testimonial: I swore my oath a long time ago and meant every word. I still mean every word and will be proud to stand by anyone that may become persecuted or prosecuted for traveling this honorable road.

My goal in joining is to change the minds of the people of our nation. This especially includes the various branches of military and peace officers.

We need to STOP calling people LAW ENFORCEMENT and start using the term peace officer exclusively. Words have power. I would love to see our peace officer agencies change their mindset and try to just keep the peace and help settle disturbances WITHOUT force. We also need to keep our officers from becoming revenue agents of the state. These things drive a wedge between the peace officers and people. It’s time to remove the wedge.

I find it very sad that I and several good friends try and stay away from the officers in our local community. I find that we simply want no interaction with any person wearing a badge because we feel that nothing good can come of it. We feel that there is always something we can be cited for or otherwise hassled about and we simply wish to avoid the possibility by avoiding contact. None of us are criminals and I would love to see the day when a peace officer rolls up behind me and I can feel completely at ease knowing that this human being behind me is a friend and neighbor rather than a potential adversary. I thank all of you who have and are serving in an honorable way.

GOD BLESS YOU!

Peace means something specific.

Laws are arbitrary.

Law Enforcement is simply, well, force.

The system has grown so large it is very much like a drug addict. It has to acquire and consume vast amounts of money and resources to function. Law enforcement make arrest, DWI and drug arrest, traffic fines and often innocent people are involved in its pathway of consumtion.
So- called Swat Teams conduct raids and often unwarrented raids to justify its existence and funding and most cases innocent people are arrested and/or killed in the process. Police brutality is on the rise and increasing. They have the attitude that they are the only ones allowed to have and carry guns, and that no one is the question their actions or authority. Who do they think they are. They are Public servants and nothing more. What society has allowed to be created is a growing giant with an endless appetite. It reminds me of the movie I once saw called Independence Day where Aliens would go from one planet to the next consuming all of its resources and then moving on to the next planet. If there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe and I strongly believe there is, we will never be allowed to venture out beyond our on galaxy because we are an extremely dangerous life form.

Thank you. As a citizen I feel the same. My wife and I speak of this often. I have never been a soldier or a peace officer but I am very passionate about freedom and human rights. Majority of the chaos I have seen was caused by law enforcement and I am from southern California.

Live free and in peace or die so our children can.

Site Dedication

This site is dedicated to the memory of John William Adams (1925-2006), Marine and Oath Keeper extraordinaire.

John Adams, at the age of 16, lied about his age to join the Marines so he could fight against Imperial Japan in the Pacific. His enlistment date was December 10, 1941, just three days after the attack on Pearl Harbor (see below). As a Marine rifleman, he fought the Japanese from island to island, across the pacific, including at Iwo Jima. We may have good men, but we never had better.

Until his death in 2006, he was a dedicated patriot who still took his oath to defend the Republic deadly serious. May God grant you the courage to do likewise.
