Our Newest Op Ed
Get Rid Of The Local Police
- By Warner Todd Huston
This week the Supreme Court issued a ruling at the end of it's sessions for the season that just reiterates that the police in the US are good for little else but investigating crime that has already happened.
The police are not there to help or protect or serve. They are not there to prevent crime. They are not there to stop a thing. The overused phrases "crime prevention" and "law enforcement" are ridiculous misnomers.
Don't misconstrue this Op Ed as this is no lament. The fact that the police are not there to prevent crime is the way it should be. For prevention assumes foreknowledge and we all know that foreknowledge is problematic at best and oppressive "thought police" action at worst.......
