I am a big supporter of Law Enforcement.

Well, I'm not. It all started going downhill when the concept of peace officers disappeared and the strong arm of the revenue collectors appeared.

It's been a while ...

During George Washington's presidency, the government decided to tax whiskey in order to pay off the national debt. This infuriated the citizens and led to the Whiskey Rebellion.

Crime doesn't pay


Traffic violators do.

I mostly support all law enforcement, but their political leadership I detest. Rank-in-file cops are mostly good moral people with integrity, much like I view the military. But when the political element in them got successful in making a police officer worth more in crime than any other human being I stopped supporting them rotely. They are not...they never will be. Our constitution clearly defines us as all equal. Their life is not worth more than mine. I DO belive they are worthy of greater honor than most due to what they are willing to do for us but that is also true of the military and we see NO laws giving the crimes against military members greater punishment.

Worse, there are cops who are starting to believe that they alone are the good guys with guns and that all citizens with guns are somehow suspect. The politicians who make laws creating this environment have as much understanding of freedom and liberty as they do about global warming...NONE!
