Why do “you people” want this? Policeman per 1000 in this country is 2.77.

What's your point? Yes, I'm a little dense.

His point is more cops = less freedom.

Another isolated incident, no doubt.

We control our government. If people demand a lot of cops and are willing to pay for it... We get a lot of cops. If people would be unwilling to pay for lots of cops we wouldn’t have a lot of cops... Pretty simple formula. We live in a quasi police state where armed government employees are plentiful, aggressive, and always ready to correct bad behavior. We live in that environment because that’s what the people want. If you don’t want to live a life being surveillance by armed government employees join me in voting down every police bond issue. Don’t call city hall and demand more police. Police are human. Humans are very very fallible. To empower another human to govern your affairs is a really chancy thing. Be wary of it. Power voluntarily given up to somebody else will never be voluntarily returned.
