Imagine if we had no police and people just ran around trying to establish their own form of order, crime prevention, protection, etc. Yeah, that would be a hoot. :roll:
Could we trust the average person to know how to deal with these things? In America at least, that would not be something I would want to live with.
I'm just going to add one important missing variable from this discussion... Officer Carter was a University cop. That is basically a Mall Cop with a gun. It is very different to patrol the walkways of a University campus, than street patrol through Watts, California. Add to that... this specific University is a Catholicc University in Texas. So, not only is officer Carter a Mall Cop with a gun... he is a Catholic School Nun with a gun instead of a ruler to inflict punishment upon disruptive students. So, to those who compare this 'cop' with regular cops... you really need to factor in this variable.
