I believe that MOST cops are good ones, but I also know there are bad ones - and the good ones seem all too willing to protect the bad ones quite often. When that happens the good ones doing the protecting are no longer good ones in my eyes. There are some cities, like Las Vegas, where they have made significant progress in the right direction - which is very encouraging.

>Yes the guilty ones- depending upon the crime. Society would be better served if some of the guilty ones were not though - take for example all of the first-time non-violent drug offenders that are clogging our judicial system and jails - no point in them being there if you ask me.

>Call Ripley. We actually agree on this one. I think that drug use should be de-criminalized. If you want to put an end to drug use, you need to go after the suppliers, not the small time users. The only issue I can see with de-criminalizing drug use is when people who are addicted to very expensive drugs turn to crime in order to support their habits. In this case, we have a problem that effects someone other than the stupid drug user.

Agreed.
