For the record, I'm done picking on "Newt"

No kidding. This isn't getting anywhere and I'm not making things any better. Nobody told me to do anything and I'm tired of being on the offence, or even the defense. Please don't assume, or try to read into this. I'm just done picking on him. Who knows, I may even support some of his postings. Have a "Good Friday" and a Happy Easter everyone. [^]

  newt,
  
  And I disagree with you on that. The notion that the police should handle ALL law enforcement is what we call a "police state."
  
  For them to be able to handle 100% of it requires 100% coverage. It means cops in our homes, our work, our schools, everywhere.
  
  Somewhere along the line we have lost the ability to take the responsibility for our own welfare upon ourselves.
  
  We expect people to pay us if we can't find work. We expect people to take care of us for free when we are not well. We expect people to protect us from any and all situations.
  
  But as the police cannot be in our yards 24/7, neither they nor society should expect us to sit by and allow them to enforce the law at their convenience.
  
  The right to be secure in one's home, property, and papers did not have the added stipulation of "but only when the cops are around."
  
  
  
  +1 EMM.
  
  This from a peace officer. People need to take some responsibility for their own issues, when appropriate. Police can't be all things to all people, nor should we be.
