I am very conservative and I want to disband all police departments. Because of the rules imposed by leftist prosecutors, police stand around and do nothing while anarchists burn down police stations. But if I use a gun to defend my property, I am certain I would be arrested. The police provide no useful service to honest, God-fearing, patriotic Americans.
They could arrest bad people.
The potential makes police considerably valuable.
But it takes courts to do the right things too.
