governmental-authorities do tend to fall into the trap of thinking they're above the law.

Only because in practice they are.

This bum police chief was a failure as a chief in Chicago then a failure in WDC and now a continuing failure in Philly. Black equal-opportunity I suppose.

There is no legitimate reason for any police agency to have fully-automatic weapons. The same cannot be said for an individual citizen, who's 'reason' can be as simple as 'I want one'.

Because the Tea Party might hold a rally at the Liberty Bell, and all hell breaks loose?

I mean, Philly is just one Gadsden flag away from going off like a pressure cooker ....

Why do cops need machine guns? You can’t hunt deer with them.
