First of all I did not intend to label protesters criminals, and I think you would realize that if you could look past your tunnel vision of the one and only way this weapon will be used.

Good use of bold there, by the way.

So should cops be armed? Should we even try to fight crime at all? I mean we pay money for these cops and people still commit crimes - maybe we are just pissing our money away. I mean the whole police system, it's just a front for people to smash protesters and repress the people. We spend millions every year training cops - and for what? So cops can beat up protesters? Why even have cops whatsoever - they aren't stopping crime; the only thng they are good for is repressing the people.

Yeah you've helped me to see the light, file83. Clearly the next step is completely dismanteling our law-enforcement system, or as I now call it, the people oppression system. Fire all the cops- and take their guns away. No pensions for those people oppressing bastards either. I mean think about the type of person who wants to be a cop. Who wants to oppress his fellow man. Those bastards don't deserve a red cent.

Shut down the prisons - I mean, my god, think of all the protesters that could be held in those prisons. Why build prisons, if not to lock up political prisoners and protesters? Abandon the criminal side of law - the criminal code. Think of the savings in judges! We've been trying to fight criminals in America since the revolution, and we still have lots and lots of crime. Why haven't we succeeded? Is it possible that the whole purpose of our law enforcement system isn't to fight crime, but to oppress the people? Of course it is!

Thank you File83 - it took a while, but you've opened my eyes. I can only hope your vision will spread and that more people will see the wisdom in abandoning our law enforce. . . I mean People Oppression system.
