45. No one forces them to be cops. So I have zero sympathy for those who abuse the trust

placed in them by their bosses, that would be the people who pay their pretty good salaries and benefits.

As we saw in Ferguson, the police CAUSE violence. As soon as they show up, there is violence. When they are NOT there, things are peaceful. Same thing happened during OWS, once they showed up, the violence began.

Many people are now more afraid of THEM than they are of criminals.

Something needs to be done about them, they are a threat to the safety and well being of the people more often than not these days. Too many dead citizens at the hands of these thugs.

Enough is enough.
