No, a "liberal" would appreciate
no one getting that treatment.
But, then, that's what you get when you "try" to think.
So there are no conditions underwhich our police should wear body armor and assume that the criminals in the home they are raiding might be armed? Is that what you're saying?
It's just that I'm reasonably certain that the cops formed SWAT units as a result of instances of finding themselves outgunned by the criminals, not the other way around...
Or are you saying that a liberal would just prefer that no laws ever get enforced? Or just the criminals that you think should be punished? If that's the case, then why ***** about things like racial profiling? Seems almost like you are advocating it.
As far as the OT goes, I'm pretty much in agreement with Mrens on this one. I strongly believe that drugs should be legalized. I also think it's ridiculous that we spend the amount of effort enforcing those silly laws that we do. However, that's an issue about the law, not those who enforce it. The fact is that drugs are illegal, and they knew it, and they chose to break the law anyway. We can argue all day about whether the laws are "right", but the fact is that they are the law right now. You can choose to break it. I have no problem with that. But then don't complain that it's unfair if/when you get caught.
