The cops are not at fault. They just do what they like to do and whatever the political establishment rewards them for doing. All cops like to be a hero, its part of the draw to that profession. Being part of any operation that involves killing is very exciting and therefore a real big draw the kind of people so inclined to be cops to begin with. That is simply the nature of the people involved.

The real problem is the politicians. People who can channel those desires (the police officers) and tendencies to work for good or evil. It is the politician that pays, rewards, directs the efforts of the police. Therefore the real culprit is the politician, the one currently sidestepping the blame for the situation we are in. Swat teams, drug wars are all the product of the POLITICIAN not the cop. Politicians are prone to overstep their authority, by nature. What we need is ways to reign them back in, short of the traditional methods of total revolt and hanging all of them. Our checks and balances have failed in that they are all politicians and scratch each others backs. Our last chance method of checks and balance, the 2nd amendment is in danger of being tossed out. This should be the litmus test for the final solution, the one that states that we should rise up against the ones enslaving us. Clinton almost had a full scale revolution going. The true believers were already holed up in their caves, the fanatics were being burned alive with their children in Waco and some took action by bombing federal buildings. That is not the kind of America I wish to live in, but the left wingers, the Clintonites are pushing us toward that end. There must be a peaceful way to turn this around before the next Clinton shoves the country into full civil war. I sincerely believe that if we ever ban guns, the cave dwellers will "pull the trigger" and it will be very hard times for all.

The philosophy of government is much more important than the quantity of government.
