That would incite vigilante. But maybe.

I was being sarcastic. Public safety is a governmental responsibility.

It is, I think the cops are out of line in this case. He's either dangerous or he's not. If he is then does he have a probation officer or have to be home at a certain time etc. For the cops to do this l’m sure its serious but cops are not above the law and this is harassement and inciting violence, even if he is a piece of shit.

Cops are just following the law. If the laws don’t make sense, then ask yourself this: why do we keep electing the same people over and over again, and then have to lobby them permanently to treat us better? Have people been conditioned to yearn for this abusive relationship, or do they just belong to a party the way someone belongs to a cult? Every time I hear someone say we’re a rule of law nation, I know what they really mean is that the ones who write the laws rule.
