I keep hearing of this so-called "civil war" that is brewing for well over ten years now. Hmmmm........crickets.

I wonder how long the original civil war brewed before kicking off.

Basically, since it had a lot to do with free states vs. slaves states, it started brewing in 1789.
Wrong, politicians against society.

It had been brewing for some years before the Southern states ceded the Union and the first shots were fired in anger.

As said, wrong, it's the politicians against society.
Cops only enforce the laws, they don't make them. Cops, even those that operate beyond their authority, are mere amateurs compared to the life-long corrupt politician.
They have a constitutional duty to refuse to enforce laws that are tyrannical. I don't see many doing that. So yes, cops too.
Put yourself in their place. I wouldn't want to be there today. The BS laws come from the top down (politicians) and the foot soldiers are given a choice, Do what we say or find another job. That's a tough choice. What happened the other day was an anomaly and not representative of the other 99.9% of the police. The media and BLM tries to say it is very common, it's not. BUT it does happen. Little Hitlers pop up everywhere.

That is a misconception, especially in Texas, where there is no oath required for the majority of LE as they are considered employees and not elected officers of government.
Law Enforcement is an agent of the government and are constitutionally provided ‘broader’ powers for the public good. Those broader powers directly erode the public’s constitutional protection from government abuse.
that's where we disagree. All police forces should be held to the same standard as elected officials. Sheriff departments are. Then again, I think governmetn monopoly on policing is a bad idea in general

No doubt on the Colt seller in the classifieds. I’d love to have another LE/MIL marked Colt AR, but I’m not paying double for it.

What standard I think LE should be held to and what they are held to are completely different things. Especially at the individual officer level.
That's a completely fair statement.

I can agree with that. But, in the larger scheme of the bigger picture, the cops are just a small portion of those that violate the rights of the people, and abuse their authority. Politicians enact laws that go much further in violating the rights of the people.
