I think tea party people at the local level should support revising rules of engagement for the militarized police, and change training back to being a police officer rather than a assault force. Its pretty easy to campaign against shooting puppies.
Now, most LEOs consider themselves a force equivalent if not greater than what the SWAT concept was originally intended to combat, and it is to the detriment of the average citizen.
No-knock warrants, shooting and killing a WWII vet because he reached for his walking cane after a no-knock midnight breakdoor invasion by the Law Enforcement JBTs and shooting family dogs on a whim without any repercussions whatsoever...
Well, that and speeding in your Official Vehicle any time you wished -that's just the 'perks" don'tcha know.
After all, the LEO managed to get home safely at the end of the shift, so that is all that matters.
Ditto!
