The whole game changed once "police officers" became commonplace in America, and the primary role of these officers was crime prevention

I could comment extensively but...not enough time and it would take things way off topic. Suffice to say that today's local cop in black tactical gear (Batman wannabees) have as much to do with crime prevention as my doctor has to do with death by lighting strike prevention.

I understand. I’m just pointing back to a clear transition in the roles and responsibilities of law enforcement officers. There is no room for a “pro-active” law enforcement officer under the U.S. Constitution.

Well said, Bloody Sam Roberts!
