I lost all faith in police departments after Waco. There has been nothing but one example of cops violating the people’s rights just so they can keep their jobs or because they really are jackboots.
That said, we have seen good cops quit or refuse orders. Not all cops are bad, and many are good cops. Many Sheriff’s have sided with the people and still do.
We simply cannot assume a uniformed officer is going to follow the law.
Power is intoxicating and there sure a lot of power drunks around today.
