Old-time cops were peace officers.
Today’s cops are law enforcement officers.

That’s a significant change, from peace to enforcement.

That’s more than just unfortunate. It’s a tragedy. Police are, of course, vital to society. And their job is getting more and more difficult each day. Yet many cops alienate law-abiding citizens with unnecessary rudeness and bullying. We are their allies. That too is getting more and more difficult.

“There are ways to conduct yourself, and he was being disruptive,” Columbiana County Sheriff Brian McLaughlin said later, adding the reporter was asked to quiet down or go outside the room. When he refused to do either, he was asked to leave the school gym by someone related to the school, but McLaughlin said the man instead got into the faces of officers and persisted to be disruptive. After shoving an officer, he was reportedly charged and transported to the county jail.

“Peace officer” is a total misnomer. “Law enforcement officer” is a more accurate description of how the police are supposed to work under our Constitution.

Normal adults don’t need anyone to “keep the peace.”

The police aren’t there to enforce compliance with the law, but to enforce adjudication of the law. Their job is to apprehend and protect an accused criminal so he can be tried by a jury instead of hunted down by an armed posse.
