Personal responsibility is part of the civil compact among persons, So no, I am not making it contingent for Constitutional legal protections due anyone. Not only should one not break the law, one should comport him.herself in ways so as to not lead to death and mayhem. Personal responsibility is a higher standard than the law, but without it, what type of society would we have? Well, maybe a society where a father can give a check to his ex-wife and go off to join his “brothers” not expecting to come back alive? That is no type of decent civil society.
And our LEO's should exhibit that comportment. Would you agree with that? In fact, we must demand the highest standard of conduct both on and off the job, as a condition of their legitimate exercise of the power we bestow upon them. And they should never be even suspected creating a scenario where death and mayhem could be expected. (Why would they install a camera in the parking lot, then claim that they were sitting in their cars when the shooting started. Major disconnect.)
But, we can NOT demand that free people - everyday citizens - act, dress and associate as we want them to. That's been tried. I thought we learned the lessons.
Obese and sedentary people are a threat to their families and others around them. If that heart seizes up while they are driving, innocent people may die.
What shall we do with THEM?
