The function of the Police is not to protect, it is to enforce the law. Do you agree with this statemet?
If you disagree, I wont discuss this further with you as your Philosophy is diametrically opposed to mine.
The way I look at it is by "enforcing the law" PO's are "protect"(ing) too, simultaneously.
For example, Hillie pulls over a swerving drunk driver. He is enforcing the driving under the influence of alcohol law right? By taking the drunk driver off the road he is not only enforcing the law but he's protecting me and my family from the idiot. It makes me feel a little better knowing there's a little protection out there like that from them people.
So by "enforcing" the law, the LEO's are "protecting" as well at the same time. Am I right???:idea:
