[Excerpted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively through VDARE.com] I've passed comment before, more than once, on the ambivalence we all feel towards the police and other law enforcement agencies. We know we need them; we appreciate what a tough job they have; we want to support them and encourage them; but … it's not always easy to do so whole-heartedly. This is a zone where the personal collides with the political. In today's America, for example, police are stood down when anarchist mobs burn and loot, beat and kill—because the political authorities are on the side of the mobs.
