When did corrections officers become the enemy of freedom? I understand the mindset a bit of the Police, but certainly not CO's....
CO's are having to surrender Handguns held on their Badges.

A lot of smuggery on the part of super citizens in the law enforcement community now getting it thrown back in their faces. Join the fight assholes.

Now with the good moral character of you lose your job so they think you have good moral character? I’ll bet they have been told to deny these old CO’s for not having good moral character. Just saying.

There is a lot of this lately and I don’t understand it. Maybe it’s my life circumstances where I knew all the cops in my hometown so I had not experienced this. Now all the old guys retired and I don’t know many of the new ones so I’m on par with others. I don’t know and hadn’t thought of this until recently.
I don’t get this because the left hates them so I’m not sure why they are smug like you say they are. For the time being Hochul and company love them because they are needed but soon it will be defund them. Look what they did to the CO’s and look what NYS troopers did to them. Sickening and the troopers think this won’t or can’t happen to them. It can and she will screw them.

I took it as either “working for the State,” or the plain old “locked up in jail with no freedom” kind of enemy of freedom. Either way, it made me chuckle. I have zero dogs in this battle other than wishing that special jobs did not receive special privileges. It would be similar to certain job holders getting more than one vote in a single election, in my meaningless opinion.
I have, thankfully, only ever experienced good cops in both personal and professional capacities. But these were individuals.
It's the basis for why I respect what they do.
As a group, though, I can't help but feel they have a "better-than-thou" attitude, and their willingness to overlook rights infringements codified in law and, in many cases, enforce that law always rubs me the wrong way.
The best thing for our Rights is to have the rank-and-file cops feel the same sting we have to. Maybe it will convince them to "do the right thing" and start arresting corrupt politicians.

yes, one day I turned left on a no left turn sign. I didn’t see the sign because I was looking at the stopped car in front of me and looking to see if it was safe to turn left the cop that pulled me over are it seem like I had just murdered five kids. It was insane. I was taking my son fishing after school and turning into the parking lot to fish at. Fishing gear was visible. Cop couldn’t believe I had lived there for along time and not seen the sign. I told him I almost always come from the other direction and turn right into that lot but was coming from the kids school as that’s why. Guy was a huge jerk and there’s no need for that. Same with when the other cop thought I backed into a car o the street. I didn’t but he was convinced I did and he couldn’t be wrong. Not yo mention his only evidence was I lived across the street from the car damaged. I said people pull in and turn around in my driveway frequently.

Might be a NYC thing and not not sure if it applies statewide, but I dont think they can get a pistol license. They were fired they did not retire. When a LEO retires he needs a "good guy letter" from the job to get the permit. If you are fired, you aint a good guy and they aint giving you a permit.
The enemy of Freedom is the NY State Govt.
Well the Governor DID call them "Criminals" and accused them of breaking the Law, yet no charges were filed, arrests made, or convictions made in Court...slander/Libel anyone?
Does it surprise you?
New York has had a long history of having politicians who are punks and exhibiting cowardice stemming all the way back to days before the signing of the Declaration of Independence. New York in fact was one of the last to ratify. The Continental Cpngress signed on the 4th with New York abstaining until July 19th.
New York politicians buy in large have been cowards since 1776.
This is 100% correct. When my friend gave up his FDNY Fire Marshal status to go back to the suppression side (because there was no overtime and he was trying to built up his best of three years for retirement) he had to surrender all his guns on his badge. He transferred all the handguns and non scary items to me. We stored his "high cap" mags at my place in PA. Disassembled his ARs, transferred the lowers to me, and reassembled them in PA.
Edit: He had to relinquish his pistol and rifle permits before he started the academy. Now he has to go through the painful process of reapplying and the city refuses to give him a break even though he previously had them.

I didnt have a pistol permit before I took my job, but if I did they wanted it turned in before I could start the academy. The reasoning they had was that if an officer that was bought up on any charges that would require surrendering your side arm it would take more legal effort to take one you had on a permit. So, yeah, control. I was able to keep my NYC rifle permit.
