As a new police officer, you're going to encounter all
kinds of people. The way you interact with people will
have a great deal to do with the level of success you
achieve during your career.
While you'll be indoctrinated with a considerable amount
of propaganda regarding your role in non-enforcement
aspects of law enforcement, you must never lose sight of
the primary reason for your being...that pistol you wear
on your hip should be an obvious and constant reminder.
Many of those people you encounter believe you have way
too much power, and, in fact, they see very little need for
you and your services. These are the same people who
believe that the maintenance of their country's military
force is a waste of resources that would be better used in
pursuit of goals identified by them.
As with the military, when it comes to your use of force,
those people will be the first to criticize and condemn
your actions with little, if any, knowledge or
understanding of the circumstances requiring the use of
force.
You'll learn that interacting with these self styled social
behavioral experts is much more difficult than dealing
with criminals. Criminals, whether they act individually,
or they form the leadership of a rogue state, all
understand and are influenced by two things...the threat
of force, and the use of force.
While your intellectual betters will insist that your
powers be restrained or eliminated where ever possible,
you'll learn they are very quick to exercise power against
you. Their power rests in their utilization of laws,
lawyers, and courts. It should be no surprise to anyone
that laws, lawyers, and courts exist only because the
people with the guns ensure the social environment
wherein the rule of law can function.
When it comes to the interaction among nations, you
hear a lot about diplomacy and statesmanship. As a
police officer, you'll be practicing diplomacy every day of
your career. When you're dealing with criminals, the
success of your diplomatic efforts will rest solely upon the
criminals' perception of your ability to effectively apply
force.
When nations are in disagreement, alliances frequently
make the use of force problematic even if force is
justified. You may well encounter similar situations
where your power of arrest is impeded by organized
resistance to the enforcement of laws some people
determine to be unconstitutional. The most frequent
organized resistance is usually directed toward laws
against minor offenses, For example, some believe that a
panhandler should have the right to repeatedly ask you
for money. When your refusal elicits a litany of
obscenities from the panhandler, that's okay...he's just
exercising his freedom of speech.
You should always limit your diplomatic efforts to
criminals, because it's simply a wasted effort on those
who already know everything. Like the military, you
should always let those who do support you argue with
those who have little, or no, capacity for logical
rationalization.
In a nation where power is centralized and absolute,
you'll find few people openly criticising that nation's
military or law enforcement. You should always
remember that the irritation you suffer at the hands of
critics, no matter how irrational or ridiculous their
criticisms may be, is your contribution to ensuring their
right to criticize.
While every reasonable person would love to see an end
to war, crime, and violence, no one has yet figured out a
way to accomplish those goals. It should be obvious that
democratic government is the logical course to pursue in
ending nation warfare. As for crime and violence,
rational people realize that a nation's criminal justice
system is the only effective means to control violent and
unlawful social behavior.
Does this sound familiar. While this guy was a certifiable
nut and a madman, he got this one right. It is the future,
and we are experiencing a new face of warfare.
One should never forget that Adolf Hitler rose to power
through a democratic process only to subvert it into
dictatorship. When one understands that politics, no
matter in what form practiced, is all about power, one can
begin to understand why nations go to war and people
commit acts of violence.
Power does indeed corrupt. As a police officer, you'll
have a great deal of power. Your biggest contribution to
society will be in denying your critics victory by your
misuse of that power.
"The problem in defense is how far you
can go without destroying from within
what you are trying to defend from
without." ~Dwight D. Eisenhower
"Demoralize the enemy from within by
surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination.
This is the war of the future." ~Adolf Hitler
