I just find it funny when real world events just prove how full of it they are.

Where's all the cops who post here who've previously insisted they and their brothers stand for and protect the constitution, and wouldn't participate in martial law type scenarios?edit on 22-4-2013 by MysticPearl because: (no reason given)

This really confuses me. The idea is that if we put more police, with more ability to search every "backpack" we'll all be a lot safer. Okay, in theory this could make some sense in a contained world, like say a prison. Only, prison's are not safe, and all things are subject to search and seizure in a prison at all hours on all days.
Yet, at the marathon there were hundreds of police, given the ability to search who they wanted, even private military people were there to hunt down "persons of interest" and................................ a bomb went off.
Here is my confusion, the folks in charge of security at Boston failed, so it would seem the flaw lies in the idea that attacking people with backpacks is the answer, simply because this "terror" attack involved security, security who were there to protect the very people who they failed to protect.
If a policeman fails to protect, no one cries out, and demands a firing, what people demand is the police needs more unadulterated power.
If a professional football player drops the winning pass in the Superbowl his failure at his job brings about untold shrieks of "fire him, trade him, kick him out of the league," even death threats.
