I like the evolution. The first movie the Terminator famously shoots up a police station: "the police can't protect you".

Then in the sequel the message is "the police are the enemy".

hes not wrong.

even in canada hes not wrong, where we have a better trained police force who have better access to mental healthcare training, and better counciling policies.

my cousin is a police officer, he was my best friend my entire life. now we barely speak. he was always a bit self inflated and a bit racist, but i counter balanced that when we were together.

after moving to alberta to become a police officer (as the RCMP and our home city police wouldnt take him, as he did not pass the psychological tests). he became even more narcissistic, hateful, racist, and graduated from hating the police, to being a bit of a boot licker, to a full on bootlicker, and finally becoming the boot itself.

hes become extremelly conservative, and supports the separatist movements in alberta, loves danielle smith, and pierre poilievre.

on the rare chances i do speak to him its because we sometimes rarely game together. mostly because i want to get a pulse for where hes at.

last time he told me he hates homeless people, and he takes joy in not only bullying them out of the spaces they occupy, by force, when he can. but also enjoys piling tickets on people who he knows havent broken any laws, knowing full well that the tickets wont stick, and that its the beuracracy that pains them in the end. all because they challenged his ego. he told me he "just loves dominating people" who he knows "dont like cops"

hes shown me chest cam footage of his "best take downs" but conviently never shows the part that lead up to the arrests.

and last year, he got in a needless car chase with someone that lead to the death of an entire family, besides the husband. a mother, and her two infant children. he takes no responsibility.

i dont recognize him anymore, hes become an alcoholic and uses the N word like its a 2008 cod lobby. every time we have gamed together he gets black out drunk within about two hours and just passes out, mid game.

he regularily uses instagram as his main source of information. i think it is at least partly to blame.

ive been coming to terms with the fact that he'll likely never understand or care about the reality of his contributions to the world. i was hoping he might be "one of the good ones" but again...... he is a police officer, and therefore an enforcer for the ruling class.

all his talk about "saving people" was bullshit. hes just another boot now. it seems.

It's about humans losing their humanity and becoming nigh unstoppable immortal shapeshifting killing machines? I didn't even know that was an option.

Where did this quote originate?

I dunno if it was coincidence or Robert Patrick took that lesson to heart, but he later went on to play Col Ryan in an excellent show called The Unit. As a special forces command officer he makes it VERY clear on multiple occasions just how important the Posse Comitatus Act is and why it should be respected
