Next time you’re in trouble I suggest you call a Libertarian or the ACLU.

Either one of which would be more proactive than the doughnut munching, revenue generating/ticket writing, clean up crew most police departments have become.

AS a libertarian, I'm already fully armed and capable of defending myself and my property. If my neighbor gave me a panicked call during the wee hours I'd go to their aid without a second thought.

Would you? Or would you rather wait on the "official" law enforcement to show up in time to cart off your neighbors remains?

Sorry. I didn't see you or any other Libertines running INTO the World Trade Center to evacuate people on 9/11/01.

I must confess I'm lost all respect for the profession of law enforcement.

The current environment requires all practitioners of law enforcement to cultivate skill in guile, duplicity, deception, obstruction, opportunism: and conspiracy when the aforementioned traits invariably lead them into making punishable error.
