Contrast that with Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, a liberal hypocrite of the first order  …

Outspokenly anti-gun where ordinary citizens are concerned, he recently established and then was forced to discontinue a "celebrity reserve" program, offered exclusively to those he deemed "prominent," and requiring significantly different qualifications than the reserve program ordinary citizens are eligible to participate in. Dangling the promise of a badge and a gun to such notable figures as Jay Leno and Steven Segal, who, to their credit, turned down the offer, Baca had nonetheless sworn in twenty lesser civic luminaries. And in doing so, precipitated a fiasco. <Source>

Bottom line …

America’s Sheriffs – directly appointed by the people and responsible to the people are the last line of defense against evildoers. Some are raging liberals, like Baca, who speaks out of both sides of his mouth – advocating gun control, engaging in Muslim outreach, taking gifts as a perk of office, all while allegedly ignoring the abuse of prisoners on his watch. And, others are courageous patriots, willing to stand up and speak “truth to power”  like Sherriff Joe Arpaio in Maricopa, County, Arizona.

But, the fact remains: law enforcement has a general duty to protect the incumbent government and the general peace and order – not to protect or defend any particular individual when help is urgently required. It’s up to you as to how you want to live your life. A sniveling liberal begging for mercy, or a citizen defending their life and the lives of their loved ones.
