Think you can take care of you and your own in the absence of LE? Good for you, not everyone can. Remember the same mobs ready to lynch a cop every time something doesn?t look like something they approve of, will be there ready to lynch you too.
I can’t be a cop no matter what. Four fused vertebrae keep me from a few occupations.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m al for the rule of law, and I’m all for having a good and honorable police force. Unfortunately we have an issue in this country with cops not conducting themselves in an honorable or appropriate manner.

I’d also say that there are some obvious reasons as to why there are less and less people interested in becoming LEO in this country, and I think it’s pretty obvious that with that smaller pool of applicants that we’re getting poorer quality officers.

Enforcing red flag laws
No knock raids in the middle of the night
Pushing people in to cattle cars...

Where do you think we should draw the line, say enough is enough and that a massive change needs to be made?
