“The Secret Service came to my door today because of a tweet. No threats. No violence. Just words. That’s where we are now,” she wrote on X in a thread about the ordeal.

She was asked about the comments she made online, and she made it clear, “I want to see their trials.”

    One thing that Trump’s 2nd term has made crystal clear is that pretty much all levels of law enforcement are just filled with bootlickers.

    Has there been even a case of one department or union siding WITH THE PEOPLE???

    Or are they all just authoritarian living assholes?

    We also need more liberals going into law enforcement, we’ve completely seeded those jobs to bullies and morons that get off on abusing power.

      You don’t go into law enforcement thinking you won’t be shooting someone in your career. You have to want to use force on people and abandon empathy for humans just trying to survive.

      Liberals are ill-equipped and it’s antithetical to the left.

      Yep. It feels just like politics. All the asshole pieces of shit keep the decent humans from wanting to be in those fields.

        A former buddy of mine joined local LE some years back. They tormented and hazed the hell outta him until he was forced to move to another precinct.
        And then it happened again.
        Nowadays, he toes the line and has a LOT of really worrying opinions on a lot of things, but he has the respect of his coworkers now.
