Washington has one cop for every 625 people. Louisiana, the worst state, has one cop for every 256 people. Louisiana is so bad that they have one law enforcement employee for every 200 people.
Let's be honest: freedom is the inverse of cops.
While true that laws can't kill you they make it much easier for the state to do so without fear of reprisal. As well if there are fewer laws on the books there are fewer laws for the police to arrest you for breaking.
This is starting to go in circles.
The main problem in such states is that the hillbillies have turned Jesus into Shiva.
My poor intellect has been RAPED by the complete morons at the Brady Campaign!
Forget about yourself, you had a choice and you made it... what about your poor monitor? You forced that crap upon it, with no concern for it's interests...

As long as cops are enforcing laws that respect liberty, protect rights, and only prosecute force, fraud, and abuse, they represent no threat to liberty. Once the law steps outside those bounds, it's only a matter of time and incremental steps to authoritarianism. Good cops who refuse to enforce tyrannical laws will be replaced with bad cops, and even criminals.
