A COUPLE BAD APPLES
A COUPLE BAD APPLES
Remember, these are cops. You don’t have to know any other oaths because police are where the power lies. Senators, Congressmen, the President do not matter. Joe Biden is not going to arrest you. When was the last time you actually saw your local politician?
You don’t even have to know the constitution or the toilet paper it is written on.
It is not an oath.
It is written on paper.
This is written on a human heart.
That is what an oath is.
Each member of the Tennessee highway patrol, upon the member's appointment and before entering upon the member's duties, shall swear and subscribe to the following oath:
“I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of Tennessee, and will well and faithfully perform the duties imposed upon me as a member of the Tennessee highway patrol to the best of my ability; that I will serve the state of Tennessee honestly and faithfully, and will obey the orders of the officers and officials placed over me according to law.”
Ouch. Kind of weak. Not much to work with. It almost says,” I am a fascist tool if the state is fascist.”
I, , do solemnly swear that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the commonwealth of Massachusetts, and will support the constitution thereof and the constitution of the United States, that I will obey the lawful orders of all my superior officers, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent on me as ___ according to the best of my ability and understanding, agreeably to the rules and regulations of the constitution and the laws of the commonwealth and the United States. So help me, God.
Yikes. This one is a cult state mantra too. I will be a communist thug if my communist state orders me to kick down your door. May God help me do it, too!
If you thought these 2 oaths were bad it might not be too late to relocate.
I wanted you to read those to show you I am not cherry picking my samples so that I can overstate my thesis. It makes me understand why some of these troopers are on such a power trip all the time.
But if you think those are bad… when I read this next one I had to call my cardiologist and told him to meet me at the hospital.
