>> I am a strong supporter of the police and will continue to be.
I am a strong supporter of LOCAL police.
And I am a strong supporter of DEFUNDING and ELIMINATING federal police of every stripe. Especially FBI. No federal agency whatsoever should have police powers. If they have a need for “police action” towards the citizens of a state, they ought to be required to go to the state and request state and/or local police to carry out the action. I believe this is what the constitution calls for.
Corruption at the level of local police is a large part of the reason the FBI arose and grew in size and reach.
Of course, now the FBI is thoroughly corrupt as well.
