But even law-enforcement professionals will tell you it is not their job to protect citizens; it is their job to apprehend and bring those who have committed crimes to justice. In other words, after you are dead, the cops will try to catch the guys who killed you.From LRC.The young fogeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06354592772973677609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721507.post-5233437640425469522009-07-19T14:02:00.000-05:002009-07-19T14:02:35.830-05:00From Taki Tricky Dick invented affirmative action. Far from being an alternative to racism, affirmative action institutionalises racial discrimination, a kind of divide-and-rule policy that lets federal agencies control the racial mix in the workplace.
