Rifleman 1776, can you post some information that proves your theory that cops are cops just to have power. You stated that as fact, twice. Please show me something besides your opinion that says so.

You also assert that we had friendly cops with .38 revolvers and a stick. Know what the stick was for? Clubbing people. Not for being friendly. Now we have pepper spray, tasers, verbal judo, etc. No more big hickory sticks to club people with. But cops are getting worse over time in your opinion? Please explain.
