Sometime and somewhere and I don't know when or where peace officers became law enforcers. It used to be that you hired a simi tough guy to put on a badge and a gun and keep his neighbors from hurting each other. Then it changed and way too many bought into the militarization of the police. Way too many dumb laws were passed by well meaning but basicly ignorant politicians. Way too many bought the "WE are different, We are God" concept and harbor the idea that "civilians" would never understand. I don't think we will ever get back to just keeping the peace again. More's the pity.
