Notice a few interesting things about this story:
- The apprehension of said robber did not involve police, except once the robber had already been cornered.
- There was no cost for patrolling.
- No one’s dog was shot.
- No one’s door was smashed down by SWAT officers.
- No one was subjected to a cavity search because they looked like they were clenching their buttocks, except maybe the robber.
All in all an inexpensive and happy end result. So why don’t we move to this mode of law enforcement?
When seconds count, the police are just minutes away.
Because it would put the fat, cushy pensions of a bunch of thugs at risk, that’s why.
Yep. Just the opposite of neutered metrosexual Boston after the marathon bombing... oh wait, they had a Dartmouth student posse along with Rolling Stones trying to protect the murderer’s identity under wraps.
That’s what I loved about it.
Badges, we don’t need no stinking badges!
Just do it!
