Slow down with the straw-man stuff, partner. Let's turn the tables around on this dolt and tell him we DO want to help enforce the laws of OUR society. What makes an LEO more adept than you or I at spotting a carjacking in progress? Or a mugging? Or whatever? Quite frankly, I think we should start a movement to consider all law-abiding citizens as "deputies", with a responsibility to keep the peace. We should all be armed if we choose. Or am I to simply place a freakin' 911 call while someone I know (or don't know) is having their life threatened. Doesn't my idea fit in with the "citizen's arrest" concept, or do some consider this too vigilante for their delicate psyches? I know; how naive of me.

One thing I know for sure, anything that comes over your wall should spend 20 minutes on the bottom of the pool before the cops get there.

"Officer, I have no idea how he got there."

Law enforcement is for the trained and motivated. Since most big cities have Police Reserve programs, anyone wanting to help out in that way can join up and get the proper training. People who simply want to carry concealed aren't generally wanting to do so so that they can apprehend bad guys; they're wanting a means of making themselves safer.
