I don’t know exactly when it happened, but some time ago the police switched from being peace officers to being law enforcement officers.
Peace officers keep the peace, much like a mediator would.
Law enforcement officers enforce directives, much like a military unit would.
Something is going on here past the mere wording.
“…switched from being peace officers to being law enforcement officers.”
They are not law enforcement officers. They are selective law enforcement officers.
The French people, being energy concious, should take up a newfound interest in keeping their vehicle tires filled properly by purchasing carbon-neutral, “battery-free” tire thumpers.
Very true. Insidiously.
