30 years ago, we were all bellyaching that we wanted “Law and Order”, and “Criminals Locked Up”. In doing so enabled the new police state, with a communist at the helm.

Yeah, it really started with Nixon 40 years ago, but yeah, we are reaping the overflow from the results of this. Not all cops are bad, but I can see wh there is apprehension among the people. The action of few/some cops do earn them the derogatory term "pigs" and this is not good. I thinkwe need to get rid of zero tolerance and minimum sentencing. Yes, sometimes the punishment can be too lenient but that is better then punishing the innocent or handing out a harsh sentence for a minor crime.
