There is no situation that the presence of a cop will not make worse.
Laz: I was looking at my State Constitution and the Federal for that matter.
The County Sheriff is the only Constitutional Officer in my State with Law Enforcement powers across Town lines.
In the Towns and Cities local Cops are a delegation from the people and created by them to preserve order. WE can and have abolished police departments when they get out of hand. Even the State Cops exist at the whim of the General Court.
Amen! And more and more people are learning this the hard way each day.
