That may well mean he was violent and dangerous, but even violent people should be brought to trial, not gunned down.

Then you go and personally get them with your non-violent means if you can Stossel.

Moron.

If you have a bunch of commies and racist black pampers who want to kill my family, and a gang of thugs who want to destroy and steal my property, I want a professional,well-equipped, highly trained police force between me and that murderous mob.

Those that would give up liberty for little, temporary security...I'm paraphrasing, of course. That, and the fact that, per the SCOTUS, LEO have NO obligation to protect you and yours. Their only obligation is to clean the mess up. Arm yourself. Prepare. The need for militarized LEO is highly debatable.

It's a cryin' damn shame that Stossel deigns to "represent" libertarian positions.

Most libertarians are not as stupid as he is. Nor as liberal.

But I repeat myself.

Oh, please, spare me stupid strawmen. If you want to go it alone against a mob without an organized and armed platoon, be my guest.

I would love to see what Stossel would do in a fight for his life. He is an idiot.

Has anyone mentioned that having Brown off the streets permanently may have saved other lives? How many other crimes would he have committed? I’m sick of this nonsense about the police. Let those who complain about them try doing the job.

What about when all Christians, gun-owners, or people who donated money to anti-gay=marriage causes are ruled to be violent criminals?
