Police are law enforcers now, not peace officers
Time changes all things — some to the good, some to the bad.
At one time a policeman was a peace officer who also enforced
the law, checked on those who were on parole or former criminals,
walked his beat and knew young and old. Today, a policeman has
become a law enforcer.
Though most don’t know it, people aren’t guaranteed police
protection by law. Criminals and law-breakers have no fear because
of the court system and those called police who are restricted by
the system. Those called victims have fear.
The voters voted that to be a lawyer one had to be a member of
the private club known as the State Bar — that not being the state.
In 1934, a famous judge stated there was no certainty of the law
because of the appeal system. Is it better today?
Those holding political offices desire the support of judges,
law, prison workers and the club known as the State Bar. There is
no concern for the victims of crimes. Does the tax dollar go to
what it’s intended for, or does it go to the General Fund or other
projects?
Try to defend yourself for your possessions; you may end up
being prosecuted or jailed. Henry Kaiser once said, “There is no
excuse for anything.”

I refuse to rely on the police. Enter my house uninvited at your own risk. Threaten my family and you'll pay the price. I'll take my chances with the court before I'll take chances with a criminal.
