Protect and Serve
I've been developing this web site very slowly because I don't want to give anyone the wrong impression about its intent. I cannot emphasize enough that I am NOT against the Police. It's the system I'm looking to examine with a critical eye.
Obviously, there are individuals in our society that are involved in what everyone would agree is criminal activity. Some are committing acts of violence and must be stopped, and others are committing acts of fraud and theft that should not go unpunished.
To "Protect and Serve" is a concept that invites alot of gray-area situations that can wind up compromising the goal of Law and Order, which is to achieve Justice. I would love to say I have the answer to this unfortunate paradox, but I don't. By having this website, I am hoping to come up with some good ideas - and I invite your Comments.
