Because They CAN...

And they can get away with.

Look around.
See how many times a law enforcement officer of any kind is held accountable for the use of excessive force, no matter how egregious, or for any other violations of the law they're supposed to uphold.
Go ahead.
Google it.

And let's not hear all that whining about "putting their lives on the line every day" as an excuse.
According to the Departement of Labor, in 2009, the most dangerous jobs in America are:

1. Fishers and related fishing workers
2. Loggers
3. Aircraft pilots and flight engineers
4. Structural iron and steel workers
5. Farmers and ranchers
6. Refuse and recyclable material collectors
7. Roofers
8. Electrical powerline intallers and repairers
9. Traveling sales/truck drivers
10. Taxi drivers.chaffeurs

Being a cop isn't even dangerous enough to make the top 10.
When was the last time you heard of a farmer shooting somebody and saying, "I put my life on the line everyday to feed this country" as a defense?

Some cops have said "it's a war out there."
That's the inadvertant truth.
It is a war,
And we are the enemy.

"Serve and protect" is out.

"Search and destroy" is in.

Your "rights?"

Bye-bye, Baby.
