A couple attempt to make Law Enforcement officers into Super Citizens, granting them extraordinary rights and privileges that are not available to the common citizen. Such nonsense is not acceptable!

What? Are you suggesting that government employess do not deserve to be rewareded with Super Citizen status? We must honor our masters. Such talk like yours can come to no good, no good at all. I suggest you apologize, and acknowledge that you've seen the error of your ways. Our masters know best, and it is our place to humbly trust, obey, and honor them, in any way that they see fit.

Besides, it's not like there'll be a small number of such Super Citizens. At the rate the federal gov't is arming its various clerks and functionaries, it won't be long before the unarmed gov't employee is the rarity. So relax, there will be lots of Super Citizens to protect us from ourselves. The future is bright -- for the trusting, and obedient.

Don't make waves.

Police HAVE become a superclass. Especially in places where the state government is most liberal.

Powerful police lobbies in states like New Jersey have pushed the average salaries of police officers above $60,000 in some places, not to mention the additonal perks like overtime, double time and a half for holidays, extensive survivor benefits even if the cop just dies accidently in a non-service related incident, death ebenfits to divorced wives, etc. etc.

Its quite remarkable, but the U.S. managed to exist until shortly before the Civil War without any police force at all - anywhere. Just the militia and average citizens.

Teachers, lawyers, police, construction firms, and insurance
companies have become the nation's most powerful lobbies.

lol.. You know there is something terribly wrong when a government has to arm it*s employees to protect them from the citizens. I remember when the IRS purchased all the guns for their agents. Of course, that would be the branch of the government that needs the most protecting. :)
