Everyone will read the headlines; few will understand the implications.

Long time readers know that I provided some pretty clear predictions over the past ~decade of what to look for when the herd started getting awake and aware at how badly it has let itself be treated.  One of the major predictions was that people who used to be made men, untouchable, will lose all their status and get publicly perp walked in an effort to appease the increasingly upset herd.

And so let's talk about Scot Peterson, the Coward of Broward who hid outside while the children he was paid to protect were cut down like it was nothing.  Yeah we know he was run out of the police not long after the incident, but now big criminal charges have been brought up against him for his part in the incident: 11 charges of neglect of a child, culpable negligence and perjury. He was booked into the Broward County jail with a bond of $102,000.

Peterson is 56.  He will definitely get convicted.  11 charges of neglect and then a perjury cherry on top tell you, me and everyone else that he's never getting out of jail.  His life is over.  And in jail he will be lucky not to get murdered so that it's really over.

Furthermore from the article, "experts say that criminally charging a law enforcement officer for allegedly being negligent in his response to a mass shooting is new ground.

“This is the first time I have seen somebody so charged like this,” said Clinton R. Van Zandt, a former profiler with the F.B.I. and an expert on mass shootings. “I think that every police officer, sheriff and F.B.I. agent understands that you have to go to the threat and stop it and that we are no longer going to wait for SWAT or set up perimeters.”

OK so there it is in blue and white: this kind of thing NEVER happens to cops, but now it's happening.  It will send a message to all police which is simple that the days of wild west behavior in law enforcement are over and that the door is kicked wide open for criminal action against cops not only for hurting people themselves, but also for not stopping others from hurting people.  The can now be found guilty of criminal negligence.  This is going to change how the cops think and behave.  When I was working through life, cops never helped anyone.  They were only there to fuck the people over.  Going forward you can expect to see them turn back into the cops of Mayberry RFD - opening doors for people, helping old ladies cross the road, helping citizens change their flat tire along the road and just generally being much nicer and more helpful all around.  NONE of these things would be the case if the easy money was still flowing.
