I feel sorry for Officer Marquez: although the actions he was directed to perform were morally wrong (government intrusion on private property), he himself is not at fault. He was a slave of the enemy, not the enemy itself.

Add two more to the growing bodycount of government run amok.

That said, the slaves do have a free choice: they can either serve the people, or serve unbridled power. There is no middle ground. They must choose to aim their weapons against the people as a show of force, or aim them at the heart of the bureacrats as a somber warning.

And in case the bureacrats haven't noticed, we've a lot more guns than they do.

I agree. I'm sure Mr. Marquez was able to rationalize to himself that he was doing the right thing.

I'm glad to hear that local entrepreneur Mr. Cruz will be helping the dead officer's family. The State had no problem sending him to his death for no good reason, but just wait and see how tough it will be for his family to pry assistance out of the City of Chicago. His children shouldn't be made to suffer just because their father worked for the most corrupt city government in America (I lived in Chicago, not too far from Mr. Wolk, for six years - don't even get me started).
