Give a man a badge and his attitude changes completely, all, not a few. The power of arrest is not handled well by most police officers, whether local, state or federal. The number of Federal agencies that now have the power of arrest is staggering, add to that state and local, with the school at the bottom of the ladder, who will be next the sewr dept??????

Actually, the local Douglas county water authority has ARMED officers that patrol the 2 resevoirs that were built with taxpayer money.

Before they built the newer resevoir, where they charge you $15 for 2 people and a boat to fish, you could fish in the old one for free, and there weren't any water cops.

What's really funny is that there is a comic book that recently came out (Dark Knight Two by Lynn Varley and Frank Miller) that has a scene where the National Guard refuses a direct order to attack a crowd. The president brings in "grade school security officers" who are authorized to use lethal force to suppress the mob. Will truth turn out to be stranger than fiction?
