It's thinking such as mine for which our country was founded on. I never said that police were violating rights for the hell of it either. Our local LEOs were recently caught pulling people over and shaking them down for money, up went the "blue wall" and a few LEOs were quietly dismissed without reprisals. So there was a reason of course, financial gain in this case. I'm not saying your job is easy either, however it's been a few years since we were subjects of the throne, not citizens. The growing militarization of our civilian police force is an issue in our society today, not my thinking.

You're probably right.
