What about the formal education of polices officers today. Most, I assume, were educated via the public education system. Yesterday it was reported that 37% of resent graduates couldn't name the three branches of government. And 40% couldn't name an Amendment in the Constitution. So is it possible that the hold liberals have had on education is having an effect within many police departments. Add to that the lefts anti-offending policies at many colleges. I don't think many criminals are going to adhere to those policies, of not offending, while the cop has a gun. Police Academies can do only so much, to counter what recruits have been subjected to for 12 to 16 years of indoctrination.
