We have way too many cops

Way too many. I used to have a lot of respect for police officers but now I think the cops are out of control, drunk with power derived from the oppressive Madd Mothers and the failed War on Drugs. I’m convinced the vast majority of America would be better off with about 70% fewer cops. If the types who are drawn to being cops feel they absolutely must be a cop, they can transfer to a Mexican border town or to the inner cities where they are really needed and will definitely earn their pay. I bet a dollar the vast majority would choose to find work in another profession.
This outrageous story out of Arizona proves one of my long-standing mottos: Never call the cops for anything.
Homeowner shot by police alleges conspiracy to cover mistake
Tony Arambula is seeking $5.75 million in damages for himself and his family after he was shot by police on September 17, 2008 when officers responded to a call about an intruder inside his central Phoenix home.
Arambula called 911 and told police he was holding the intruder at gunpoint.
As officers arrived, Arambula’s wife Lesley said she told them her husband was inside the house holding a gun on the intruder.
“I told them my husband was inside, he was the one with the gun,” she said Tuesday.
The officers entered the house with a shout of “Police!”
Almost immediately afterward, Phoenix police Officer Brian Lilly shot Arambula in the back.
And for good measure Lilly shot him again once he was on the ground with a gunshot wound to the back. Fucking moron. Coward. How does such an imbecile get to be a cop in the first place and how many imbeciles such as Brian Lilly are there on every police force in America? A lot I am thinking. When you are talking to a cop there is a good chance you are talking to a fucking moron who would shoot you in the back the first chance they got.
Lets start getting rid of some cops and require that every citizen own and be able to use a firearm. If you can not afford a gun, one will be issued to you. And let’s quit wasting so much money on cops.
