It is a shame that the Writer this article wishes to take sides with the criminal element. How can you even consider calling Law Enforcement "the devil"? Let's face it: it is not the LAPD or LASO's fault that they have to shoot down a gang banger or a dope dealer/user; it is Society's influence the silly parents who do not have the time or guts to train & discipline their children! Parent's priority have been on making money, getting material things, etc. TV, Daycare, & peers have raised up these criminals. It is totally unfair for Cops & Teachers to get a negative rap on how they treat their, "poor unruly babies". The people who should be locked up in jail in addition to the criminals should be the parents of such for causing the problem. There is a saying, "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem".
