The service the police provide is not the protection of any specific individual, saith the court, but the protection of "society in general" by taking reports of criminal activity, gathering evidence, and seeking out and apprehending suspected criminals for delivery into the court system.

One police chief was honest, at least - he said if you want individual protection, get a gun.

Really? Then why do Politicians and their Families,JUDGES, Big FatCat Businessmen, Diplomats, and Sports Stars get POLICE PROTECTION?!

Aren't THEY "Specific InDUHviduals"?!

Nope...if that "law" is upheld, then NO POLICE PROTECTION for ANT Politcian or Judge can be allowed!

Case Closed!

I beg your pardon for my bellicosity, but the new Bush "Illegal Infiltrators are OK" Doctrine has pi$$ed me off ROYALLY!
