You are a bit overboard on this statement. Law enforcement personnel put their lives on the line every day. Some are heroes and some are scum. They mirror the society they spring from. Your comparison to a farmer or carpenter is utterly ridiculous. Stick to the subject and discuss those LE that abuse their authority and have the decency to praise those who serve well. And by the way screw you and the horse you rode in on.
I believe the scorn is warranted, but it should be directed at the system.
I’d rather see a force 1/4 the size with triple pay, and without the privileges that guarantee early retirement, obscene pensions, and employment protection. The real problems in our Country could be solved with fewer, smarter, highly skilled, well paid professionals. And professionals that would be held to the strictest sense of the Constitution.
Society shouldn’t have its hand held by the massive force of statism.
Then that's a big part of the problem, isn't it.
The police are not supposed to mirror society, they're supposed to be better than society. Now, perhaps, it's a result of affirmative action or just our general lowering of standards, but police malpractice (for lack of a better word) is becoming a nationwide problem.
It's fine to defend the good ones, but the mere fact that you have to says a lot.
And by the way screw you and the horse you rode in on.
