Quote:O.K. Political Puppet, for a start Police are not 'goons' as you have called them. Each Police Officer who joins must undertake and complete a University Degree. So they are not uneducated, on the contrary they are extremely well educated.
Goon was just an expression, but regardless of the education they are hired muscle, no different then if a bikie gang wanted to hire someone for protection or enforcment.
Quote:You see Puppet, we as a Society are at the crossroads. Do we surrender the streets to Bilker gangs who peddle mind bending and killing drugs such as Ecstasy to our youth (and not so young)?
Or do we take control, with the professional body of Police who are, as author Joseph Wambaugh described them, Blue Knights?
I believe that drugs should be legal and that what they are doing is justified and moral.
People make their own choices in life and the bikies are just there to offer a product.
Where there is demand there is supply, always, no exceptions.
The police enforce a system of dangerous mind bending pharmaceutical drugs, why are they ok?
Quote:It is getting a little tiresome, every time Police take strong action for strong circumstances and having the Civil Liberty idiots come out and make statements like they have today without any conception whatsoever in regard to the situation.
Take today's drama.
What do tattoos and colours have to do with some random kid crashing a car?
I agree that force was needed in that situtation.
I have no problem with police using force in a situation when someone is a serious threat to someones health.
Police need to take a good hard long look at their boss (the government)
and realise that it is just another gang
do not isolate yourself from your public
be sensitive and supportive of the people you serve
do not target the little guys
and do not ruin peoples lives for victimless crime.
