What is a police officer anymore? Why nothing more than a government extortionist! Outrageous accusation you say? Not really, let’s examine the facts.Since this country was founded we have been making laws non-stop to reduce freedom. We went on an orgy of making laws for victimless crimes. Gambling, prostitution, alcohol and drug bans are at the top of the list. We have placed speed limits on our wonderful and safely constructed highways that only contribute to accidents by creating unnecessary congestion.
In recent decades we have criminalized self-defense as we allowed for laws that directly defy the Second Amendment to our Bill of Rights. Police are seen as a party to this systemic rights violation.
We’ve done the same with privacy as we now require police to invade our possessions, personal records and body cavities in direct contradiction to our Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure. Frisking Americans like prison convicts has become the accepted way to greet airline passengers and those taxpayers entering public buildings.
What we’ve done is change the direction of law enforcement from dealing with real crime and appointed them as government tax collectors. Instead of dealing with a limited divide between police and criminals we have a divide between police and citizens.
The problem with this is that cops are no longer considered the people to turn to for help. The cops are really here to find ways of raiding your wallets and bank accounts. The problem is only getting worse as big spending government officials look for new and creative ways to fund their unchecked spending on things nobody wants or needs.
We need to turn police back into what they were intended to be someone to count on during an emergency. The policeman was your friend, but not anymore. He’s the skunk and your family picnic. We need to start repealing laws while we still can. We need to get runaway government under control.

Cops are just like every other productive taxpayer as they have families, hopes, dreams and don’t want to be hate objects.
We must separate criminals from our law-abiding citizens. Our politicians have given a voice to the freeloaders and criminals as they have silenced the productive good folks.
We need to get out of the pockets of the good guys that should never need fear an encounter with the police. It’s not the cops but the politicians that are victimizing the public through oppressive laws and policy.
Lefty can't respond now, too busy kissing pictures of Obama and Hitler.
Boy, Crime-y, you sure have forgotten your police roots, sadly. Your comments smack of anti-police staements made by the criminals on tv news when they claim police brutality.

Lefty,how is the hot frothy enema working??Has it helped clear your obtuse mind??
The whole lot of them should to be taken out onto Capital Hill and hung in mass for their unforgivable treasons and their corpses then drug and thrown into the Reflecting Pond to rot for eternity. These scumbags have been raping every orifice of "America" (us) the truest and most beautiful maiden of freedom the world has ever known for their own self gratification far too long.
We the citizens of this once great and prosperous nation must turn back this overwhelming tide of third world criminality/mentality that erodes our shores at a heart sickening pace.
Capitalism, democracy and freedom only works while in the deft capable hands of honor, integrity and real patriotism. Otherwise we just become just another enslaved third world shithole......
Let us speak loud America, if then "they", our government still does not want to listen or to care, the we all know what we must do. History repeats itself.....freedom lost.....freedom won.
I can walk into a fire station any time. I can walk into a post office 6 days a week. It's not important that the police are not my friends, but how about not being strangers?
Paul Hubel Is retired Chicago PD, now a reporter / PI in Calif. I agree with Paul re the role of the police. I call it “Taxation by citation.” BTW LAPD does have quotas. I have said for years that we could save billions by shutting down the CHP (Like Gov Wilson did with State police.) Citations have NOTHING to do with defending the Constitution.
