Speaking of chaos, did you hear there's a bill in the California legislature that would basically do away with the bail system? Everybody goes free if they promise to come back.

One of the better crime thriller movies, and Affleck isn't annoying

My friend is an ex-police officer. He listens to the scanner, and is appalled by what he hears. For example, he listens to SWAT from three LEO agencies - replete with helicopter - respond to call in which, when he was an officer, he would have knocked on the door to find a way to handle the situation.

Many police officers now appear to be suffering from panophobia. When little dogs are routinely shot because an officer "fears for his life" there is a problem. And stand down orders that happen in places like Berkeley make the officers who take policing seriously look like wankers.

Police have no compelled legal duty to protect any individual citizen.

They don't carry guns to protect us.
