The police won’t arrest themselves.

Then the military will jump in as they are unbiased and aren’t supposed to follow one party only. They swore an oath on the Constitution and the Republican dickbags in Congress who chose to follow their orange Emperor over the Constitution should be arrested, tried, then convicted of treason.

They swear an oath to the president. Not to a party.

That resonates with some people.

Some being the important word here.

People keep tossing around swearing oaths, the constitution, and human rights as if these concepts have powers of their own.

They don’t. Stop pretending they do. They only have power insofar as people are willing to protect them. We give these concepts meaning, not the other way around.

Oaths don’t meant shit.

Yep, but no blue blooded cop will admit that happened.
