ALL COPS must be Saints BECAUSE they represent The State!
Never understood this
higher standard that cops are supposed to strive for.
Hi Henry from one Libertarian to another, good to see ya, and lets talk about it!

Consider: a man, as I understand morality, is bound to respect the life, liberty, and property of another (and vice versa).
ok, i see what you are saying - all men affirm natural law.
but they don't! there is only one mandate - a legal one/not a moral one - for being an American.
Be Born here, or becoming naturalized.
its plausible that there are a few million (a small minority - thankfully) - of Americans that have an ISIS mindset, Might make Right - fully ignore moral concepts of Natural Law, but being born in America are fully American Citizens.
thugs? yep.
but still citizens - sadly.
they are because of accident of birth, they do not need to take a loyality to Natural Law nor even to our Constitution to be Americans.
they can hate both - and sadly i suspect there are a few millions that do - 1-percent or so - from the few Muslims/Hesisdic Jews - but mostly Zioist Evangelical Christians --- -all the same mindset from differing faiths (but if you are born here - you American! - its that simple).

What higher standard does a cop need to attend to?
US Constitution of coure.
Rule of Law

I'm speaking in the ideal of course!!!!!!!!!!

No, the problem isn't that cops must hold to, and fail to hold to, a
higher standard; the problem is: some cops are insulated from the consequences of not holdin' to the standard a private citizen is held to which -- again -- is simply respectin' the life, liberty, and property of the other.
??????? truly don't understand, but i know you have point, and if willing can to clarify it so i can understand and converse with you about it?

The solution: strip away that insulation, hold a man responsible for his actions (badge or no badge).
You might have to break the back of the union to get there.
??? ibid, still don't understand.
BTW i'm not the sharpest tool in the shed - use small words and have patience if willy for me to understand.
