Maybe you can tell us all what purpose is served by revealing names and addresses of Law Enforcement officers who are merely 1) doing their duty and 2) upholding the law?

Ever occur to you that there may be some crackheads out there who'd like to know Officer Friendly's home address? Where his wife and kids live?

Please, enlighten me. Why do you want to publicize private info on officers who merely carried out a simple trespassing arrest?

Oh yeah, Lexington, Massachusetts is a real hotbed of crime, with Major Drug Kingpins wanting to assasinate deep undercover heros.

The police in that town have no excuse for not being fully exposed to public criticism.

They are in zero danger. Except to their careers, for being too bonheaded to question a public skool bureaucrats word.

Besides, they are your heros. Don't you want to know what address to send flowers to?

Some years ago, various court decisions and acts of Congress and the legislatures weakened the so-called corporate veil, making corporate directors, officers, and employees civilly and criminally liable for acts done in the name of corporations. The veil protecting civil servants (and police officers are civil servants) from the consequences for their actions needs to be removed as well. The police officers who guarded Terri Schiavo's death chamber (laughingly called a hospice) share in the guilt of Greer, Felos, and Michael Schiavo. So do the social services bureaucrats who did too little too late. It is past time social workers, police officers, building inspectors, code enforcement officers, etc., suffered the consequences of abusing their power and enforcing unjust laws.

Internal investigations by these agencies are little more than a joke. They may ferret out some personnel who steal state property and abuse their time. However, their abuse of the public usually goes unchallenged.

The liberals constantly call for corporate accountability. What is really needed is public sector accountability. If that were the case, the lesbian Marxists who become social workers and the schoolyard bullies who become LEOs may be less likely to run roughshod over individual rights.
