...i ask whose?
I do not forget the Occupy Movement. I do not deny the power of the American People like in Seattle who are there on the front lines, defending their Constitution.
Indeed you may fear the masses, but, who fears the masses?
...in Seattle at least, not the Mayor, or the Governor, not even the Chief of Police, this too is the America that the world holds in the highest esteem.
It took one seemingly little act by the side of the road, to make an explosion happen in all our minds' consciousness. No one should live with this threat. Hard to imagine, that in America it is still a part of everyday life; do you have to be a "Domestic Terrorist" to be against this violence, when it comes from an Authority that should be able to demonstrate the Civil Behaviour they are expecting from others.
...imagine in a world where there is a cop, on the beat, who knows you because you know him; actually he knows everyone in the neighbouhood. Sick, hungry, alone, or broken he would know, the shopkeeper, the child, the mother, who have family, who live alone, he would know. This is what Public Security is about; a person like that would be nice to have around, in a fire, or when any tragedy may strike. Do they need guns? Who would shoot at them, who would dare?
...guns are the issue. The Police must demonstrate their total control over Force, and that must start within their own ranks, through merit. First, a Police Dept. serves the Public (with good Public Relations).
While Law and Order are as important an issue in the balance of things, even Criminals should be treated no differently, as far as equal force is concerned.
And while guns against guns are tools to capture Criminals, well gathered evidence convicts.
