There is a lot of negative sentiment towards police but I would argue that its due to behavior exhibited by the police.
Tasering, macing, attacking, arresting people for video taping, accusations of torture...
This is in addition to the police state: Patriot Act, TSA VIPER teams, NDAA etc.
A recent DHS and FBI report identified "terrorists" as average Americans. In a 40 page report on terrorism, the word Muslim or Islam was mentioned once. The entire report revolved around protesters, gun owners, people who dislike the Federal Reserve etc.
And this isn't the first time this has happened. Take for example the case of the Newburgh Four, here is a statement by the actual Judge in the case:
"Only the government could have made a terrorist out of Mr Cromitie, a man whose buffoonery is positively Shakespearean in its scope," she said in court. She added: "I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that there would have been no crime here except the government instigated it, planned it and brought it to fruition."
- Judge Colleen McMahon
The extremists may refuse to pay taxes, defy government environmental regulations and believe the United States went bankrupt by going off the gold standard.
And unfortunately people like Blaine91555 buy right into it...

Get real. You have to live inside a cave to think the Terrorists don't exist.
So, you side with them?edit on 3/29/2012 by Blaine91555 because: (no reason given)
Two months before September 11 Osama bin Laden flew to Dubai for 10 days for treatment at the American hospital, where he was visited by the local CIA agent, according to the French newspaper Le Figaro.

My only point is we must have laws and enforcement to exist as a civilized society and that most Cop Haters are in fact criminals themselves, so of course they hate Cops.

On topic I don't see an issues with setting traps for Terrorists. When these people take the bait, they plan on engaging in Terrorists acts. Nobody who is not planning on that would ever take the bait. To protect them is to agree with them and support them.
Even Judge Colleen McMahon – who put the Newburgh Four behind bars – slammed the FBI. "Only the government could have made a terrorist out of Mr Cromitie, a man whose buffoonery is positively Shakespearean in its scope," she said in court. She added: "I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that there would have been no crime here except the government instigated it, planned it and brought it to fruition."
