Is this really what we want the police doing?

Totally agree. Right now, WBC is PNG, and we all have a chuckle at what Rankin County did to them. Who next?
In light of another active thread on the board - the Fullerton, CA, PD beating a homeless guy to death - I'm not sure I trust any police department to know "when to stop." What happens when liberals become PNG in the deep south? Or conservatives in Maryland? Will it be acceptable for a community to park-block canvassers for one party who are working the opposite party's turf, or for their supporters to kick the crap out of the other guy's supporters, only to find that "no one saw anything?"
"No one saw anything" on Kristallnacht, either.
Now don't get me wrong: I loathe WBC, and the ACLU ain't on my Christmas card list, either. But this kind of behavior - specifically, the assault - disturbs me greatly.
