Police officers have been increasingly turned against the citizens because of increasing pressure by some legislators acting at the behest of citizen groups. These legislators have created more laws that are really designed to raise revenue by criminalizing our citizens.

Tis is not the first time this sort of thing has happened. In old England, men were exiled or even executed for stealing a chicken. America, was supposed to be a just society, where punishments were proportional to the crimes.

Today, our police agencies are egged on to lock people away and to issue astronomical fines to fill the State and local coffers.

It doesn’t have to be this way. The People can elect leaders who will limit the role and power of our police and restore justice for all citizens.

I would like to see a return to a time where the police were seen as integral members of the community and not revenue agents poised for attack on our fellow citizens.

You can make a positive change by being an informed voter, becoming politically active and on election day: THROW THE BUMS OUT!
