The problem with 100 guilty escaping to avoid the one innocent mistake is probably that the 100 guilty will go on to kill 25 more innocent people for having let them go.
So you kill 25 innocent people letting 100 bad guys go in case of an innocent mistakes.
Not reasonable IMO.

Franklin IMO lived in less godless times.
People had honor more. They knew what shame is so they would not live on what we call welfare.
There was also more respect of other people and life.
They feared God more and behaved better as a consequence.

Franklin also had a bunch of bastard children out of wedlock, so I admire the inventiveness of the guy, but he isn’t always speaking Gospel IMO.

So, are you implying that these law enforcement officers are now doing God's work by raiding a lot of houses, but only occasionally getting 'a few' wrong?

This is all somehow now justified because you feel that we don't respect God enough as a society anymore?

Again, you are just making excuses the intolerable behavior by the jackboots that infest today's paramilitary wings of law enforcement. Now you're apparently using religion to do it...wow.

In the same thread, you defend the heavy handed tactics of these LEO's because they are 'humans' and 'imperfect', then later attempt to disparage Benjamin Franklin's wisdom, simply because he was an imperfect human...

Drug dealers most often kill other drug dealers.

Get the hell out of my county, and go find one more to your liking, such as Germany circa 1939.

You're a waste of breathable air.
