No problem, thats what this forum is about.

We don't have to agree on everything. I'm just a little to far to the right for some of these folks. But, I believe in a pro-active law enforcement.

Sometimes mistakes are made, but most often not.

Some people would rather wait for these people to blow up some building and kill hundreds of people before law enforcement reacts.

Or some of us would rather deal with the occasional random terrorist than the systematic repression of a police state. We've had two major terrorist attacks on American soil, and IMO federal authorities had foreknowledge about one of them (OKC) and did nothing to act. In the meantime, we've had hundreds of people killed in police raids gone wrong, others with assets seized without criminal charges filed ... it just gets worse every year.

Most of the problems come from levels way above you. But I'm sorry, whenever I see ANYONE in law enforcement or prosecution say that if I am innocent, I have nothing to fear, it makes me shudder - because that is a well-intentioned step towards tyranny - and that is why we have the Bill of Rights in the first place, to block that first step.
