The Myth of Police Protection

Thanks.

Ain't government just grand? On the one hand they do everything they can get away with to make it more difficult to flat impossible for individuals to defend themselves, while on the other they're simultaneously denying any responsibility to provide protection.

Who but government types would create such a flat out evil state of affairs? And then label it "justice." Puh-lease.
Umm, a really large and powerful street gang? ;)
 
I was told a long time ago that the Constitution says the government cannot militarize against its own people and that police are a violation of this. I never found where it says this but this thread reminded me of it.
 
ARE COPS CONSTITUTIONAL?

Yet the dissident English colonists who framed the United States Constitution would have seen this modern 'police state' as alien to their foremost principles.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL TEXT

The Constitution contains no explicit provisions for criminal law enforcement. Nor did the constitutions of any of the several states contain such provisions at the time of the Founding. Early constitutions enunciated the intention that law enforcement was a universal duty that each person owed to the community, rather than a power of the government. Founding-era constitutions addressed law enforcement from the standpoint of individual liberties and placed explicit barriers upon the state.
