$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('max_power29', 'H')owever, private security or more accurately mercenaries hired by the federal government are even more obove the law than LEOs.
I have faith that in America the good/best citizens would begin shooting mercenaries with great enthusiasm and regularity if the mercenaries became toooo cheeky. I know I would.
I worry more that Federal, State, and Local governments would begin handing out peace officer licenses to every malcontented army reject they could scrape up. Rural sherriff's deputies and small-town municipal cops have occasionally beaten the crap out of me for "fun" and stolen my stuff. Federal, State, and Mid-size municipal LEO's have always been professional with me.
I believe cops should be paid well and held to extremely high standards. I believe the Sud-American way of letting cops "pay themselves" is very detrimental to freedom and civility. We should eliminate these types of socialist rackets whenever possible, and prevent new ones from developing.
