You can read all sorts of nonsense on teh intarwebz. Doesn’t make it true.
But, look. I get it that the Libertarian mind thinks that the local cops act in a way that is usually criminal. To a lot of us SoCons, that sounds, simply crazy. A cop, like any human, can commit a crime, but to say that our local city and county cops are “usually criminal” is so utterly divorced from our own experience that we can’t even figure out where you’re coming from.
And if taken seriously, this notion calls into question our ability to continue to govern ourselves as a constitutional republic. If the people of east nowhere, New Mexico can’t even control their own elected sheriff, is there any function of government that they can competently execute?
And if not, what is the alternative? Roaming bands of self-appointed Libertarian CCW holders accountable to, well, whom? Certainly not the voters, as we’ve established that they can’t be trusted. It’s a puzzler, all right.
Who know they will have to pay for their own defense out of pocket and will have to pay from their own hides should the be found guilty of the slightest misstep as opposed to professional LEOs who have the full weight of the state paying for and providing their defense, have the full weight of the union behind them, have a fully supportive code of silence, are paid at full salary for the duration of the trial and are insulated from any personal liability.
Who will be more cautious?
