"To Serve and Protect"

I wonder when the mindset changed. This used to mean that they were going to protect and serve the citizens, not themselves.

(when I was growing up) We had an officer who would walk his beat every day. He would stop by businesses, drink his morning coffee at teh Circle S conveinece store, and just generally get to know the folks that he was serving. Now, no one walks around and the police just drive on up in their cruisers, get out, and arrest somebody. There's no community trust because the officer is no longer involved in the community.

When the police stop acting/arming/maneuvering/posturing like an invading and occupying military force, then I guess my attitude might change back to the way it used to be. The county that I currently live in has spent $336,942~ish dollars buying things like 5.56 rifles, Holographic Weapons sights, tactical vests, etc. They were purchased for exactly what the government paid for them, so there's no issue with fiscal irresponsibility. Also, to play fair broker, they have also purchased medical litters, desks and office furniture, and a host of other things that are much less 'scary' than guns and bombs.

I wouldn't have hesitated to open my door for that local beat cop who we all knew and trusted. Currently, unless the police have a warrant, get off my property.
