COPS TURN THUMBS DOWN ON INTELLIGENCE
by Kurt Saxon
In my last editorial I stressed the fact that as our system degenerates, the police will be even less able to protect the public. It was not an anti-police article. However, even though the police are increasingly unable to protect the public, they were greatly offended by my views.

Department of Police June 8, 1987
Atlan Formularies Gentlemen: I just received a copy of Volume 6, Number 4 of your publication entitled The Survivor. I have never read a more sick, debased piece of junk in my life. People who promote such anarchy and lawlessness are exactly what is wrong with this country today. This is one police department that does not shut down at 5:00 p.m. and never will. I resent your slap in the face to professional law enforcement. I demand that you remove my name from your mailing list immediately. William A. Key |

In the '60s several police officers were maimed or killed by improvised weaponry directed at them by radicals. Their main danger lay in the fact that they had no knowledge of improvised weaponry. They couldn't recognize an improvised weapon until it blew up in their faces.
When I enlarged "The Militant's Formulary" and re-titled it "The Poor Man's James Bond" I sent brochures on it to several thousand police and fire chiefs. Most of them realized the importance of being able to recognize improvised bombs and such and their common components. Thus, when searching a radical's person, vehicle or home, if he was carrying or making such weapons, the police would know it.
Some police chiefs believed I was some sort of radical myself so they called the Eureka, CA PD. Chief Shipley then prepared the following letter to assure them that I was on their side.

The letter was printed about 1972 and I sold a lot of PMJBs. Redstone Arsenal was conducting a training program for police bomb squads and so bought a couple of thousand copies.
Since I believed this generation of cops would profit by having my three volume library of weaponry, I got a directory listing thousands of police officials. I sent a copy of SURVIVOR 6, issue four and the only replies I got were those above. Not one order!
Of course, I hadn't realized the makeup of today's police. The modern cop has been emasculated by our Liberal judicial system. At the same time, he has been equipped with the latest state-of-the-art methods of crime detection along with self-protecting equipment.
So this "cop" patrols his assigned territory in his rolling fortress. He has a shotgun attached to his dash and a pistol at his side. He also has a radio to summon help if he confronts any criminal more dangerous than a crippled shoplifter.
Although cops get a lot of credit for catching the bad guys, they seldom stop them from committing atrocities. In short, although he is pledged to "Protect and Serve", the modern cop does neither. He can't. His highly visible patrol car keeps all street crime from happening until he moves on. Then the criminal is at liberty to rob, rape, maim and kill any of the unarmed citizenry he has targeted.
Of course, after the deed has been done, police science steps in. The criminal is often quickly caught. This is no help to the victim. And all too often. If the victim lives, the criminal is out of jail before he or she is out of the hospital.
Our Liberal judicial system is so concerned with the rights of criminals that even the best efforts of the police are wasted. After even the most violent and disgusting outrage, the captured criminal must be treated with exaggerated courtesy. Otherwise he is likely to be set free on the grounds that his arrest was improper and his "Constitutional Rights" violated.
Although there are a lot of good men in our police forces, they are nowhere as effective as when I was young. The admission of women into the forces has naturally lowered the standards of aggressiveness needed in an effective police officer. Also, the overall liberalizing of police forces has kept the more rational men out. This has caused our police forces to be "manned" mainly by nitwits who actually do consider the rights of the criminal more important than those of the victim.
Our national crime rate is accelerating and our liberalized police are becoming less effective at protecting us. So we must protect ourselves and each other.
Naturally, most police are dead-set against citizens meting out justice to predators. To those I would submit the following two scenarios.
Scenario 1: A psychotic breaks into a woman's home with the intent to rape and kill her. An armed citizen, or vigilante, if you wish, goes in, kills the fiend before he can do much damage and then fades away into the night.
Scenario 2: A psychotic breaks into a woman's home with the intent to rape and kill her. No one comes to her aid. When her body is found the next day, the local police track down her killer. He is sent to a mental institution for a few months or prison, where, if he behaves, he will be paroled in three years.
Which scenario would you prefer? If you are the typical modern cop you will consider the commendation you get for the killer's capture more important than the woman's life and the safety of the community. If you chose the first scenario you are approving vigilantism. Shame on you! Shame on me, too.
