If that were true I would think the turnover at police departments would be huge.

Most cops aren't cowards, they understand there are risks but feel that their gear, training and authority will keep them safe while kicking in doors.

The cops that will refuse to enforce these unconstitutional laws will do so purely because of integrity and each officer will have to decide if their integrity has a price. Many will not put their integrity above feeding their children.

The big downside is that the high integrity officers will leave their jobs thus leaving law enforcement with less overall integrity.


At any rate, after today's punt by Oblowme I'm feeling more confident that at least on the federal level we will win. I also don't see the state of Colorado going so far as confiscation. So the debate over whether most cops will willingly kick in the doors of their fellow citizens is for the most part still an academic exercise.
