Out of Control Cops
(stepping on soapbox) I know what you're thinking. That Landrith has put on his civil libertarian hat again and is griping about the cops. Well, I come from a family with law enforcement representation on both parents' sides. I have great respect for those in uniform who do their jobs well and operate within the established parameters of their occupation, employing a strong dose of common sense and decency. What I have no patience for and make no excuses for are out of control members of law enforcement who believe that wearing a uniform and a sidearm elevates them to the status of mini-dictator. Follow the links below for some fools in uniform who should be sweeping the floors at their local precincts, instead of wearing uniforms. (stepping off soapbox)
