You have to have additional protections for those who enforce the laws.

This is pretty much dead opposite of how our government was set up originally in 1776. Are you aware that in some states (Tennessee was one, I think) that were was at one time a law on the books that stated that a citizen was legally empowered to use deadly force against police officers if they attempted to arrest the citizen for something he didn't do?

I don't think there were any "police" in Tennessee in 1776.
