Well thank you for the compliment hello but I actually disagree with your position.

BTW the sheriff resorted to scare tactics today, and I found this unappealing. He tried to make me think like this:

It's a dangerous world and you never know if you are going to need the professional services of my department. Take this woman for instance....and went on to read how a crime victim was indebted to the sheriffs department for doing what is, basically and literally, it's job.

He wanted me to be afraid and grateful that I have someone to protect me.

It is in this way that all of law enforcement (and the military) can remain free from citizen review.

Don't get me wrong. I believe that there needs to be a police force and a military. But I agree with Lord Acton’s "Power corrupts..."
