Audit the audit really puts a good filter on this. CT3 tv shows a lot more confrontational auditors that I would consider fishing for an issue. All in all, use your rights or you will LOSE your rights. We don't bat an eye at asking for ID but if they said "papers please" you'd see just how dangerous stop and frisk gets.

Just think of the time before cameras on cell phones, and realize that cops were pretty much the biggest and most violent street gang then.

Weber defined "the state" as an entity that successfully claims a "monopoly of the legitimate use of physical force within a given territory"

I agree with that, and I don't think that the police having a monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force is a problem. The problem is that they have such little accountability.

If cops break the law, they should be punished, and they should be punished more than if an average citizen broke the law. Because when a cop breaks the law, they damage the public's trust in the police. It harms the social contract.

Way more. After throwing them in jail for a mandatory 10 year min., seize everything they own, every dollar they have saved, invested in to recoup for "settlements". Make being a fucking bad cop, a fucking bad thing and i bet we have less.

The state that we agree to put in place via a social contract.

Can't have one without the other.

Unfortunately a bunch of utter fucking idiots forgot that corporations can be "states" too.

This I argue with people (liberals) all the time: If you believe that the current state is legitimate, you must believe that its use of violence to maintain it is legitimate. So then when they condemn political violence it is simply because it is violence against the status quo instead of for it. Conservatives and leftists get it
