Pervo Cop

It should have been a routine call. But the woman said Kohnke made her uncomfortable, looked through all the rooms in her house and made sexual comments. He also kept coming back, at all hours, during the early July episode.

At one point, he asked if she was wearing underwear. He told her she was sexy. He smiled and pointed his Taser at her, and told her he wore a wedding ring only to ward off advances from women at work, she said.

As he left one day, the woman and a neighbor said, Kohnke told the woman, "When I come back, you'll be naked, right?"

From young age we’re taught that if you’re in trouble—with drugs, parental abuse, strangers, etc.—come get an officer. They are in a position of authority over us and we’re supposed to trust them. But sometimes they want us to be naked when they get back! To many people I guess this sort of thing is shocking. Not to me.

Cops are increasingly corrupt because of the modern tendency to inappropriately disconnect form from function. We would like it if law enforcement officials held their positions because they believed in them—ideologically. But the reality is, today, it’s just a job. And like the service/food industry, when you’re constantly surrounded by inappreciative bossy idiots, you become resentful; the job looses its functional relevancy (ie: make decent food, protect citizens); you do the least amount of work coupled with whatever amount of passive-aggressive revenge you can get away with.

Anyway, police are a sign of degeneracy. In tightly-knit, more traditionally-oriented communities, law enforcement is redundant. Everyone is on the same page, working together to achieve collective goals. Deviance from the norm is dealt with quickly and effectively because form and function have direct effects on objective experience.

Neighborhood Watch is like Organic Food in that it shouldn’t be a commodity or something you spend extra time and effort to invest in: ALL food should be organic and neighborhoods SHOULD be watching out for each other. But so long as materialism premeditates nature and the strongest cultural binding points are economic, food will become increasingly poisoned, communities more disparate and cops more easily corruptible. It’s the price you pay for [the media promise that you have] “freedom.”
