This is just one of an increasing number of similar stories that really concern me.

There has to be a better way to handle things like this. I truly believe that one of the more serious risks to our liberty and our way of life is the attitude of the police with respect to the citizens. A police force can not be allowed to adopt a consequentialism philosophy. Citizens and their property should never be considered "acceptable losses".

A police force and its members need to be held accountable to the citizens they have sworn to protect.

When law enforcement regards itself as the hammer of justice, all problems big and small look like nails to them .
