Cole, I know you know the difference between a rogue butt hole of a cop (or even a rogue precint), and LEO's as a whole.
It's the way you and TRH attempt to paint ALL of the LEO community that is the problem.
Granted, you don't normally take it as far as TRH does.
It would just be good to see you guys attack the individual rather than the whole for a change.....
It's the position itself, in the modern context, that creates the problems. It's human nature. Any armed organization of men with the legal authority to patrol public spaces enforcing the will of the state is going to routinely violate rights and threaten liberty. It cannot help but to. The Founders learned to hate such an arrangement in their time (based on their experience with Red Coats), and not only warned posterity against all such arrangements, but even prohibited it in the Constitution under the term "standing armies." The Red Coats constituted a standing army in our midst, exercising the sorts of powers we today take for granted by men we call police officers.
