We are very fortunate to have a normal PD and sheriff's office where they work WITH the community to solve problems. I can't imagine some of these police departments that are rearing their ugly heads in today's society. Problem is, how do you de-program them?

I heard a comment the other day that it wouldn't be too surprising if Blackwater-types had hired on to ISIS, since they'll do most anything for the almighty dollar. God help us all if they are deeply involved with our law enforcement.
