First of all, the kind of big government needed to protect citizens from criminals would be too evil and too colossal for even a semblance of freedom to survive. Second of all, cops with guns are proving to be as bad or worse than criminals with guns. We put our lives at risk anytime we involve cops in anything. Free people are better off taking responsibility for their own protection.
I remember hearing, for the first time, that the On-star system had the ability to call the police if your airbags deployed.
I thought that the last thing I would want when my airbags deployed would be for the police to show up.
>> We put our lives at risk anytime we involve cops in anything.

There are few situations so bad they can’t be made worse by the addition of a cop.
We see examples of this in the news here at FR almost daily.
