Lars is sometimes blinded by his passion for law enforcement.
Yeah, you're right... I like Lars a lot but he doesn't think things through sometimes. (The same could be said for a lot of people on this website, who scream for a national ID to solve the illegal immigrant problem... same mindset.)
If you call him on his positions and explain why he's arguing for excessive police power, he will listen. But hardly anyone does - when he gets somebody arguing against the police killing a fleeing crack whore with a warrant out for her, they never argue the facts of the case, just that the police are "racist pigs". When somebody argues with him against his stand on medical marijuana, the reality of it is always that they're just another pothead who wants to get stoned. I've never heard anyone really get into the civil liberties issues involved with him - they've always got some underlying agenda, and Lars just tears them apart, and rightfully so, IMO - even when I disagree with him.
