Yeah because clearly their policies and procdures are in perfect working order
The People determines their "reactions" and their policies, the People they are serving and protecting. Democracy eh? If their policies and procedures don't reflect the People, then who are they really serving and protecting?

Dude what are you talking about. Were not talking about whackenhut here. If you feel that strongly go to your city council and cancel the police...it has been done before.
This thread is about the incident not about your libetarian ideas.
I think you would just be speeding up the demise of liberty. Maybe you could give haliburton the contract.
Really think about it. Is that what you want or do you plan on being the dictator that brings his own utopian vision to the American Society.
I am not sure you are a libetarian. You dont sound like one.

Snipers...sure..patrolmen responding and in CQB/High Stress shooting scenerios...again..not happening! Use your logic please
