Cops Going Postal

Cops Going Postal 

When overstepping ones boundaries and duties in the course of a Federal job and from a position of omnipotent strength, the world becomes an insane place.  But why should law enforcement have to be the executioners, judge and jury.  We do have other assets in place!  Let the Postal system take up some of the slack from law enforcement...

Sometimes "due process" is just not a timely function.  Sometimes a bad guy is just a bad guy.  After "negotiations" broke down recently in the Texas shootings, why didn't they just wait him out?  Smoke him out?  Hit him with less than lethal measures- there are lots now...

Because cop killers get killed by cops, just in case the judicial-industrial-complex gets too liberal on any given case...usually due to PC public outcry.

But lets not waste resources here!

Surely DHS was tracking the ex Army suspect / perp.  Why not arrest him on the basis he might have become deadly?  Surely NSA knew....We are headed into a world where folks who might cause a crime will be taken away.  Or blown up?

Yes, yes, it was too dangerous to take him alive ....ok.   We'll go with that.  

Now we know that robots are willing to sacrifice their transistors and diodes to bomb "suspects" to death, the world has changed.  In the future, I suggest that when we decide to bomb a suspect, we do it in advance of a crime.  It would happen like this:  

DHS determines somebody is dirty or bad, but has no time to watch and wait.  For efficiency, a secret court passes a death sentence in the dark of a bomb shelter.  Because the cops are too busy with other crimes, such as Wall Street, we simply dispatch our U.S. Postal System to deliver an explosive package, right to the door of the suspect.  After all everyone is already on their route!   Perhaps disguised as an Amway shipment, or a Readers Digest Awards package?

Boom, problem solved, and now just the cleanup.

Alas, this is all too plausible!

Somewhere in the time-space continuum, for certain Isaacc Asimov is weeping; Aldous Huxley is saying "I told ya so."
