The cop on the street has enough to do fighting trial lawyers, ACLU, the public and the unions. Most, wisely, choose their battles with care
If the cop on the street can't understand the natural rights of the people he ought to find another job.I have no sympathy for the cops who are so busy being tax collectors and enforcers that they no longer keep the peace.
I despise all those involved with checkpoints and totalitarian methods.
SWAT teams are another load of crap:they hide behind their masks and machine guns when terrorizing residents but hide behind their cars when there is a school shooting.I worry about the mindset of someone who spends his time practicing sniping in a civilian enviroment.
As the older police officers retire and are replaced by young people who don't remember a time when you only got pulled over if your driving was obviously unlawful and you could expect any warrant to be served by firm knock on the door,and other wonderful laws criminalizing formerly normal behavior,we will lose more freedoms.
Officer Friendly ,where are you?
