There was also more respect of other people and life. They feared God more and behaved better as a consequence.

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.

I was referring to the higher quality and self responsibility of people in Franklin's time.

Up until 50 years ago, people would have felt shame to take charity in welfare as a regular thing.
They would have respected older people more.

People were of a higher quality in Franklin's time.
Let those 100 guilty people go today, and probably 25 innocents would die.

Nothing to do with God and police in the thought I wrote down.

Mistakes are mistakes, the police did NOT try to make this mistake on purpose in the story.
