So says the mayor: "people need the police to protect them."
Last I'd checked, police cannot teleport. Police do not live in my pocket. Therefore, the police cannot physically protect "the people", as the police are neither omnipresent nor capable of instant travel through spacetime. (Warren v DC and Castle Rock v Gonzales are just nails in the coffin.)
". . . police officers afraid of the community"!! Ya think? Maybe if you badged thug-enforcers actually served your friggin' neighbors by investigating and adjudicating actual crimes against persons/property (mala in se) instead of enforcing countless artificial-law, natural-rights-destroying victimless non-crime laws and revenue-extraction/quota laws (intentionally mis-calibrated radar guns, anyone?) ,busybody brutish prohibition laws, dog-shooting, door-busting home-invasion laws (mala prohibita), ad nauseum . . . maybe your neighbors would have an inkling of use for you and a tad of respect for you. Tyrants and their enforcers should be afraid . . . even Tom Jefferson said so. You reap what you sow!
Increasingly afraid of the public? Good! Perhaps they'll straighten up and stop their own lawless behavior? Oh, wait, as one of America's now former favorite comedians said in his God and Noah routine: Right.

ReplyDeleteOf course they're afraid. Some people have six pound attack dogs.
