I can see this thread degrading in a hurry. This isn't the right place for bashing one way or the other.
Personally I appreciate our law enforcement and want them around and as close as possible. A good majority of my dearest friends are involved with law enforcement from a local level up to the top ranks of Federal involvement. Just be careful in what you say as there are a number of highly respected "law enforcement" personnel here on the boards who can and WILL take offense to this.
