Policing For Profit - A Practice In Need of Many Changes [More]Thing is, "profit" in and of itself, is an entirely moral concept. You and I either voluntarily agree on an exchange we think is mutually beneficial or we do not. Coercion doesn't enter into things.
Once it does, it becomes "loot." And the people taking it become "robbers."
So much for the prime directive of government being "to secure the Blessings of Liberty..."

indeed. policing to increase your holdings of a speculative instrument such as the dollar can hardly be said to be "for profit." it would be more appropriate to say that it is for power.
armed robbery is armed robbery no matter who commits it. the rules of engagement for armed robbers have not changed since the founding. Only our resolve to press it has.
Damn shame that!
