Public servants are accountable to the public that they serve. If that earns me the badge of traitor from some, so be it.
Before 911, being a cop was statistically one of the safest jobs you could have, despite the fact that the general propaganda was that cops put their lives on the line every time they go on the street.
The fact is, before 911, garbage collectors were three times more likely to be killed on the job than cops. 911 skews those statistics quite a bit.
The demagogs will not distinguish between acts of terror and ordinary daily life. We are now all potential terrorists for the purposes of turning the country into a concentration camp.
If you like the post-911 airports, you are going to love what happens everywhere else.
