How is it that I cannot kill an intruder who is not intending me odil harm, but just to steal, but the police shoot out the tires, beat half to death (or to death) drunk drivers, or shoot bank robbers, fleeing the scene?
If we are a true government OF the people and BY the people and FOR the people, , how can ANY government department, office, or official (including police) do something that you and I are barred from doing?
The contitutuion seems t put tighter limits, not looser, on the government as opposed to the citizenry at large.
example:
I can break into a house and search for illegal items (drugs, weapons) without a warrnt but a cop (in theory) cannot.
What is going on here?
