I, for one, do NOT support "law enforcement." There are too many people with the mindset that, if it's the law it must be mindlessly obeyed and just as mindlessly enforced. This is the self-same mindset that would gladly turn over left-handed red heads if the law said they must be "euthanized." I support the enforcement of rules which provide for the protection of the equal rights of ALL, as our Republic was established to do. But "law enforcement" has come to mean OBEY US OR ELSE and THAT no one in their right mind can support. When it becomes a crime to express your ire at abuse of authority or when a gun owner who is entrapped into a paper violation of NFA gets a longer jail sentence than a killer or any of these other "laws" are enforced on us instead of FedGov or the several States protecting ALL of us, there is no way I can support "law enforcement." No POSSIBLE way. {more coming}

If we still had PEACE OFFICERS who did not view everyone on their beat as potential "law breakers" that would be fine. If we still had cops that walked a beat and KNEW people there and would talk to people, smack a kid upside the head if they caught him misbehaving and LOOKED OUT FOR their "clientele," I could support that 1000%. But now the cops are federalized and militarized and LEO-ized til Hell wouldn't have it and we, the People, are screwed again.
