Several generations have passed since the force of local government has been flexed.
You can be angry and outraged. In your house.
Outside? Not so much. You will be angry and outraged in prison.
I have no problem with the legal use of force by those elected or appointed to yield such force. I do have a problem with the illegal use of force by those that would self-appoint themselves into illegal positions of authority.
I would expect those that are in legal positions of authority would protect the populace from those in an illegal position of authority.
Is this too much to expect in a society governed by the rule of law?
