Does anyone else feel it disturbing that those sworn to protect and serve are the very people most apt to violate your civil & constitutional rights? I see an alarmingly high % of police who badger,intimidate and out right lie to make an arrest.Military type attire,over zealous and way too aggressive behaviors.
Could it be because the economy has taken a dump so they fear layoffs so they try to prove their worth by increasing the amount of arrest,tickets,like a revenue generator?
I personally have lost a great deal of respect for police in my community which has a population of less than 6,000, in the middle of nowhere, so I can only imagine what it's like in larger cities.Odd though, the few thefts,break ins etc.never get solved or even heard of again after they're reported in the weekly newspaper.It's a bit unusual that we have 14 pd.officers now,we had 6 for the 1st 20 or so yr's living here and if the truth be known there was much more serious crime going on then than now.My best advice is know your rights and know who & what you're voting for.
