An administration without a police executive is powerless and there were many proofs of this.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The police force cannot be completely independent of the executive government.
It was not the president's responsibility to run a law enforcement operation. It was ours.
Two successive commissioners in London police were fired by the mayor that came into office. That doesn't mean the police in London is not independent and does not exercise powers. Ultimately it is the political executive that has to answer.
Historically, there is a presumption that the legitimate police powers of the states are not to be pre-empted by federal law unless Congress has made that purpose clear.
If the City Council wants to hold the police accountable, it has the subpoena power and oversight responsibility to do so. They don't have the courage to do it.
Governments are out of control, irresponsible, never have enough money, never tighten their own belts, and when they are forced to, they always threaten to shut down police departments and teachers and all these things.
There is insufficient support for the police and safety and law enforcement, in general, in the city council.
The federal government has not been effective enough monitoring and surveilling bad guys.
The Nixon administration kept a nasty eye on our show... Cops would come by - often just in time to see the act they wanted to see.
You cannot rely on the police, you cannot rely on the government, you cannot rely on the bank to protect you.
