Liberals will lament the fact that over 2 million Americans are in prisons in America, but both the right wing and left wing will never even contemplate that if one adds up local, state and federal law enforcement from our local police to Secret Service, that there are 1 million people being paid to keep us "safe".1 million officers averages around 750,000 local law enforcement and 250,000 federal agents. In like math to prove a point, that means there are twenty thousand officers in every state. That trends on average of 50 counties per state at 400 police per county.
That is one whole lot of policing going on in local, state and federal which sounds not so much like the liberal democracy, but a police state.
In noting those numbers of officers, I have a simple question in what was the greatest cop killer on the FBI statistics in 2008?
Assault rifles? nope
Armed criminals of any type? nope
The greatest deadly hazard for law enforcement officers across America in 2008 and about every year since they were invented is the automobile.
71 law enforcement officers were killed out of the 140 officers who died in the line of duty in 2008 by traffic deaths.
Now you will never hear Congress or even the anti gun police factions once demand for tighter controls on automobiles, more time in driver safety education and for laws to make police cars safer to withstand accidents.
They will though point to guns at every opportunity, but the fact is 41 officers were shot by criminals to death in 2008, but not one of those guns was purchased by criminals from a gun show, a gun dealer with all their BATF paperwork or from a law abiding neighbor.
These outlaws to the last person either stole the guns or they bought them on the street.
Not one police officer was shot by one American Citizen. The same Citizens who believe in the Constitution, American Republic, worship God, Veterans and other things which Janet Naplitano terms as American terrorists.
The fact is though one officer at least according to FBI records was shot by his fellow officers.
I'm personally shocked at there being that many law enforcement officers in America at 1 million. Think of Gov. Palin's Alaska where they certainly do not have thousands of officers guarding bears no more than Oklahoma has officers guarding catfish for noodling.
Some states must have police forces which number according to the number of trees a city has to hide behind. That is ridiculous.
Americans for the greatest part police themselves quite well. There does not need to be this kind of burden on the taxpayer, especially 250,00 federal officers. As much as I have respect for the FBI and Secret Service, I loathe BATF which is an over active group of thugs harassing Americans over 1930's booze taxes, cigarette contraband and illegal invasions against American gun owners.
I have pointed out how Cuba in the 1820's was a cesspool as bad as Philadelphia or LA. The Spanish Governor arrived and ended the crime immediately.
What he did was make the judges dispense real justice which was fair, so people like Birdie Obama had to observe the law instead of terrorizing bankers and automakers. He executed felons and the societal criminals, he simply had whipped on every street corner (that means 4 places) where they committed crimes.
That historically solved the Cuban criminal problem without undo cost or massive law enforcement groups with nothing to do, but start harassing Citizens.
Our prisons are filled with dope dealers and other petty crimes costing around 65,000 dollars a year to feed, police and shelter. It would be much better to whip these people and set them loose.
If they can't figure out to behave, then whip them again on every corner as pain is a real remedy in equal proportion for criminals in Congress of criminals on Chicago's South Side.
I have advocated for years as one of the doctrines the execution of criminals for attempted crimes in felony situations. Just because a murderer fails or a rapist fails, they should not be rewarded with lesser sentences for screwing up.
Pedophiles have been shown to have no ability to stop being a threat to children. That should bring about the death penalty.
The fact is no dead criminal has ever committed another crime. That is deterrence.
With today's DNA testing, it has removed almost completely any mistakes in innocent people being imprisoned on false evidence now.
Some might ask if it is worth it if one innocent person is executed by mistake and this blog deems that an acceptable standard, because God does indeed sort out the innocent from the condemned, and, if that person really was going to make a difference, God has been known to send Angels to rescue them.
Somehow America has become a police state without anyone noticing it. It has done America no good and it certainly has not done 140 officers in 2008 any good in being killed or murdered in the line of duty.
The fix would be a change I could believe in, but this nation is not going to fix anything in the change Obama is bringing, but only create more criminals.
1 million police officers and not one of them can find the handcuffs to arrest Barack Hussein Obama on his numerous felonies.
Amazing.
