When the JBT crowd here starts hammering the keyboard with their Second Amendment/don't need cops silliness I can't help to point out a gun won't find out who stole your car. It won't process the scene of a burglary. It won't gather evidence to find out who murdered someone. It won't testify in court. It won't drive around your neighborhood at two in the morning. It won't get the crazy drunk driver off the road.
The government in this country provides the best law enforcement in the world. It is consistent nationwide despite the individual problems. The problem stems from government doing too much, not too little.
Your taxes are well spent. You just need to spend less and choke off government where it needs to be choked.
police are like white blood cells.
they surround and expel victim cells, they don’t actually fix an infected cell.
I don't know about elsewhere but here the cops don't investigate burglaries or car theft. Hell, they don't even fingerprint the crooks. Seriously.
