Laws Police Are Required To Enforce Are On The Books

Re:  What's This Guy Thinking?

Well, Roy, you certainly laid down your qualifications for public office this morning....any office.  How about adding to your justifications the amount that should be deducted from the police salaries and pensions for the privilege of sitting in a car and aiming a camera all day instead of risking their lives 24/7 to catch criminals and end corruption in our fair cities and their governments (which may be one and the same) and hire a few nine-year olds to do that camera work?

The training, qualifications, and experience of our police officers merit all the provisions available to protect them for their dedication and service to the people as law enforcement officers.  The laws they are required to enforce are on the books and not some brain hemorrhage of a group of politicians elected to administer the government.
