The family of a 65 year-old veteran claims that VA police stomped on the veterans head and neck, causing him to suffer a stroke and die several weeks later, a new lawsuit alleges.

The VA reminds me of the movie “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.”
Why does the VA have police at all?
Laz, as usual, raises an interesting point.
America survived quite a long time without much in the way of “police”. Armed citizens took care of themselves and their neighbors.
Were we to pay bounties on criminals, the population of violent criminals would be quickly culled. With no legal costs (courts, lawyers) and no prisons, crime would no linger be a huge cost to America.
Bounties have the following advantages over cops and courts:
1. A bounty is paid once, not annually.
2. Bounties do not get pensions.
3. Bounties do not have benefits packages.
4. Bounties do not have unions.
Fire the cops!
Bring back bounties!
Too bad they didn't have a snappy nickname like NatCs to go with that...
I must ask (perhaps out of ignorance) but why does the VA need a Police Department? It seems that every Federal department has it’s own Law Enforcement Agency... I would think any Law Enforcement matters could be handled just fine by local or County Agencies. Perhaps, just perhaps it all comes down to CONTROL.
Every hospital has a security team, but those are easily purchased from security businesses. I’m doubting that hospitals in general run an internal security department. I don’t really know, though. If someone wants to correct me on that, please sound off.

“In his study of 18th Century slave patrols the largely unacknowledged ancestors of todays professional police agencies — historian Philip L. Reichel points out that patrols had full power and authority to enter any plantation and break open Negro houses or other places where slaves were suspected of keeping arms; to punish runaways or slaves found outside of their masters plantations without a pass; [and] to whip any slave who should affront or abuse them in the execution of their duties .
No-knock midnight raids; gun confiscation; stop-and-frisk-style demands for identification that quickly escalate to violence and arrest; summary punishment for contempt of cop all of these practices would be immediately recognizable to 18th century slaves. They would probably find it incomprehensible that people who consider themselves to be free would allow such practices to continue.”

Or as Stalin said “No man, no problem”.
The headline implies a Veteran’s Administration cop instead of Virginia cop.
First things first:
Ready-fire-aim I promise to read the story completely next time and
I didn't know the V.A. had cops. In our local facility they are rent-a-cops.
I don’t know. I don’t know why the Obama Administration feels its necessary to destroy ammunition held by the regular U.S. Military and buy up millions of rounds of ammo for BLT, IRS, Homeland Security, TSA, Dept of Interior, etc.
I see what you did there.
Was that last picture from Star-Wars?
“You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave”
“The NatC’s”
That’s a good one!
