[quote=Anonymous]Regarding this whole "police abuse" stuff, realize that out of the thousands and thousands of law enforcement out there on the job, the actual cases of police abuse are few and far between.  I looked this up a while back - Cato Institute has independently compiled data on instances of police abuse - and as libertarians, they are not favorable to a police state so there's no reason to believe the data they compiled would be favorable to the police.  If you compare that Cato data on police as a ratio using the number of law enforcement out there (I used Bureau of Labor Statistics) as compared to instances of violent crime in the general public (based on FBI national crime stats) as a ratio of the public as a whole (using Census data) it turns out that the general public is 46 times more likely to commit an act of violence than a cop is, and overall that the average American is several thousand times more likely to be the victim of a violent crime from some fellow civilian than he is to be the victim of police abuse.[/quote]
