get rid of the gear... I’m willing to bet we should make some guns illegal too just because they look a certain way...
I really thought this thread was about how cops act not how you think they are going to act because you don’t like the way they look...
They can protect themselves with whatever gear they want to. This is about how they act and treat others.
The gear, big-budgets, fancy training and civil forfeiture is GOING TO THEIR MINDS.
It is totally transforming the relationship between the tax-payers and the cops --we're a totally different country.
"Hey! It's a FREE COUNTRY..!"
"If after 9-11 we change the way we live JUST A LITTLE then THE TERRORISTS WIN..!"
We NO LONGER hear people say those two things.
