Knee jerk much?

The comment was mine, not Laz’.

FYI some of the most worthy and appropriate laws are those which protect the people from the government, for example the Constitution.

Police are agents of government. Do you not see the value of passing laws to restrict their powers?

If you agree with the above, then you should support limiting laws, not passing another one to solve today's perceived problem. Your logic and action are not in sync.

As I said, laws enslave us and our founders understood that. They sought to limit govt in all areas. There are means other than law to solve this problem, why always pass a law that changes NOTHING.

As far as knee jerk reactions go, thinking that a law will solve the problem IS a knee jerk reaction, practiced often by liberals and conservatives.

Remember the Paperwork reduction act of the 80’s with Reagan. We were drowning in paperwork and bureaucracy. End result was another bureaucracy created that didn't solve a damn thing, costing us millions every year today.

Now, lets talk about a way to solve this problem without passing another law and not enslaving ourselves and the next generation.........................

And I might add that the Paper Work Reduction Act gave mechanism and legitimacy for more rules and regulation, thus increasing them at a faster pace.

Passing a law to address this problem, just gives cover and legitimacy for the next LEO that shoots a dog.

I would dare propose to you that a solution is already being implemented and no further action is required. The uproar created in that local community is being noticed by all in that community. No officer wants to noticed, and they are all talking about it. They know if they do it, they are next. There is NO COVER or MEANS to justify this action, until you give them the protocol through another law! THINK, PEOPLE, THINK!
