Seattle Police Officers Fly Gadsden Flags in Protest Against Vaccine Mandate

Seattle police officers were seen flying Gadsden flags out the windows of their patrol cars in efforts to protest Washington state’s vaccine mandate. The flag, which bears the statement “Don’t Tread On Me,” has long been a symbol of freedom,

I mean, they're the enforcers. They just need to enforce the constitution. The constitution is the supreme law of the land. Not what some federal judge says. Not what the executive branch decrees via orders. Not what congress wishes they could pass.

The text is the law of the land. If it's not in the text, it's with the people via the 10th amendment to decide for themselves.

Do they feel the same for gun rights?

Do they feel the same for gun rights?

Or inspection/registration/DWI check points? Or red flags? Or mask and business shutdown enforcement?

In general, I like cops, but I see some hypocrisy in them flying the Gadsden.

I guess it has to do with whether it impacts them or not. As far as guns, they can have all of the cool stuff the average citizen can't have so for many of them they wouldn't be as vocal about that. We're all subjects when it comes to the shot mandate. The shot mandate levels the playing field so to speak. Funny how that works.

I am curious if they feel The Don't Tread On Me while doing their jobs.

That's exactly *why* they are always exempted from that BS for personally owned firearms.

They would be a lot less enthusiastic if they weren't exempt from things like SAFE.

Which is why such exemptions are an anathema to the constitution.

The snake is so anachronistic.

I prefer this version.

If more cops started taking these positions with issues we would be better off. They are the enforcement arm of the tyrants. I know there are plenty of good ones that believe in freedom and the Constitution, but there are likely just as many boot lickers that have the attitude that they are better than the average "civilian".

I understand how a good cop, that supports freedom, would be fearful to take a stand against the machine. When you have a secure job that you have invested yourself in, and a family, its not easy to risk that by yourself. They need to find like minded folks they work with and stick together.

It's easier to tell someone to kiss your ass when you can retire with full pension and benefits.

They need to realize that they are part of the checks and balances built into the system.

And they have a duty to exercise that function, and not just be a rubber stamp for anything the legislature spews forth.

The powers that be can deny it, but that doesn't eliminate the role anymore than denying jury nullification eliminates that check.

Wow, she said all of that off the cuff? They really know their officers.

He was 3 years short...

LaMay is a Christian with religious objections to the vaccine. Though he is less than three years shy of full retirement, he stands his ground and refuses the vaccine. To LaMay, this is about religious liberties and freedom.
