This is what has always amazed me about the political party which are very much supposed to be for smaller government yet it whole heartedly supports the police in almost every instance. The police are a militia with almost complete power over life and death and very limited oversight. They can literally kill you for any reason and 9 times out of 10, that's it, case shut. We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong. I would think the party of less government control would be all for more police oversight and a reduction of police power. Instead they fly 'thin blue line' flags and campaign on 'back the blue'. I really don't get it. I don't state this to attack that political group, I just very much don't understand.
