Calling the cops? Don’t. It would take a lot for me to call the cops. I expect the worst from them. Things are dangerous, people are flaky but the behavior of some cops is completely out of reason and the risk of them doing something like this or worse is too great.

These people are given a public trust to brandish lethal weapons, use personal discretion in making arrests and applying force. When they violate this trust the punishment should be decisive and disproportionate to the offense. They should be held to a higher standard because they are given higher authority than the rest of us.

Sure, there are good cops but bad cops seem to be growing in number. Cops need to police their own lest they find themselves facing the retribution of citizens. Like someone said, it is tough to be in uniform in a gorilla war.

I had a home invasion robbery, didn't call the cops, they are a useless expense on our local economy and our city has far too many of them.

We taxpayers a law abiding citizenry, with what is being done by making everything illegal or subject to fine is a form of totalitarianism fueled by kickbacks to officers of city government.
