I suggested to the Sherriff in my communtiy that he should have citizens he could deputise in an emergency, he just smiled like I was a fool.
Far far too many in law enforcement nowdays are control freaks who think they are above and beyond the rest of us. Maybe this was true in the past, but I don't think it was ever this bad overall in the recent history of the US (wild west times maybe). They don't see that this degrades society's respect for them, and they can not do their job without the help of the public.
What ?! Non police union folks doing police type work ?!
Oh the humanity !!!!
Folks around me don't even know how to get rid of skunks no more much less the two legged varmits......
