1. There is something basically wrong with our country's law enforcement.

If this is true, and I have every reason to think that it probably is, this kind of act which seem to be occurring with an increasing frequency, are way beyond the pale. We are on our way to becoming a banana republic. These type of thugs need to start doing some serious jail time.

They act as if, no matter how vile their behavior is, there will be no consequences. I know it is not politically correct to think it, but I want them to feel pain and suffering for their crimes and if the law will not provide it, the victims may start trying to get it themselves. I do not mean by some nut taking a gun and shooting into a crowd of cops, killing or injuring the good ones as well as the bad, and there are some very good and brave police out there. But the individuals that commit these crimes must pay.
