There are a lot of conservatives that believe we have too many police.
I am one of them.
I agree ... and too many gun laws ...
The police drive solo into many dangerous situations. It's not the best situation, but it saves money.
But....many lone officers have to call for back-up if they find themselves in a scary hornet's nest. More officers must be near enough to assist...and not be scattered so sparsely through their districts that they are virtually unable to get to the scene of a bad situation.
My position is that the state and local sheriffs and captains know how many officers they need for worst-case scenarios.....and if they can make a case to the politicians overlooking them, then they should have the proper funding that they need, no more, no less.
Do you also feel that maybe we all have too many firemen, eh?
