I realize that being a police officer today is a very difficult and dangerous job; several close friends are Federal police officers, State Troopers, and local police.
HOWEVER, in the last 10-15 years or so, the power and force the police are utilizing against the citizens of the US is now bordering on war-like activities: shoot or arrest first THEN ask questions and investigate. Our law enforcement in this country is getting as much out of control as our government with a complete power grab and overuse of authority. The SWAT intrusions and numerous mistakes is a serious problem.
As an American, I have never felt under so much pressure from rules, laws, regulations, and enforcement just trying to live my life from day to day as I work my ass off.
This is NOT the America I grew up in and frankly I don't like it very much.....
