Wrong! One, I will not disagree without being disagreeable. I am much too ornery for that. My beliefs, supported by the Founders writings, run FAR too deep than that. You may, but you lack the basis of your covictions, for you are WRONG! Your ideas are sound, but in practice unsound! You are intelligent. THINK!!!
I am very familiar with the way LEOs today think. I am the progeny of many generations of said (about 100 years), and the step-father of one. The directly prior generations disapproved, and the paternal prior (Police Hall of Fame for his efforts) resigned in order to avoid having to enforce what is happening today. The current generation of familial LEO doesn’t know his a$$ from a hole in the ground!!! Much to my chagrin, as I attempted to teach him that the US Constitution trumps all. He believed in the end that POLITICAL LAW trumps all, regardless of what the Founders said. I am ashamed that I failed. I shall go to my grave knowing that I FAILED...
I have read your FR page. You and I should agree. I am a devout follower of what the Founders created. What they created was NOT what the LEO says, or what the politician-cum-black-robed thug says.
Prosecutors today aren’t what you remember. They are politicians first. You sound like a person who remembers freedom. Apply that to this.

I thank you and your family for your service.
I try as much as possible to give the LEOs the benefit of the doubt they have a tough job. There have always been bad cops, bad prosecutors and bad judges. The problem is IMO the bad judges. The bad cops and prosecutors come and go. The bad judges do lasting damage and the bad judges to come will build on what they have done slowing bleeding the life out of the Constitution and the Republic.
It takes effort to detect the bad judges and more effort to unseat them but it is the job of Patriots. And it is the reason I thank Jim Robinson daily for creating FreeRepublic as a place for Patriots to exchange news and views on the developments in our Republic.
