    Remember how modern policing forces in Britain were formed because it was considered that there needed to be a lighter, more regulated arm of enforcement than the military?

    Funny how we in the US seem to have flipped that around.

        You’d think the Free states would have better traditions in that area, but it would seem we all share in that slaver tradition instead. How… unfortunate.
