If cops had done their job, Zimmerman wouldn't have been out there by himself on that rainy night with his head being beat against concrete.

I'm sick of paying for cops to babysit communities of out-of-control young people from fatherless homes. I'm sick of cops ignoring the protection of those who foot the bills for their pay and pensions. I'm sick of cops blaming people trying to protect their own communities BECAUSE they aren't doing their job. We're paying security companies to monitor our homes, forming community watch groups and the cops are babysitting the black community - ON OUR DIME?

This has to stop.

> Charge for 'cop service' the same way the city changes for water - by how much is used.

If the 'communities' that use all the cop service can't afford to pay, then fire the cops. They're not protecting honest citizens anyhow - and the babysitting costs are too high.

The widely held belief is that cops are there to “Serve and Protect” is a myth.

They do neither.

They document crime scenes and investigate. These are necessary and worthy functions. But their role in preventing crime is limited to preventing criminals from repeating an offense. Police are nearly powerless to prevent a new crime from occuring. They simply cannot be everywhere at everytime for a $50K salary.

The notion of “pre-crime” police protection is a myth.

That is why “stand your ground”, “castle”, “concealed carry” and other self-protection laws are needed. The police report in the article is way out of line for the speculation provided.

My thoughts too. We live in BRA where blacks can say any kind of crazy arse *hit and it will fly as gospel truth in the mainstream media. But the truth comes out in the comments section where the comments tend to be to the right of FR (if there is a comments section)
