LETTER, JULY 15 ISSUE Charity Mason said that "Just because they (police) enforce the law does not mean they are above the law." Actually, it does. The police have been out of control for decades, but no one seems to have the guts to stand up to them. The politicians are afraid of them, the media just regurgitates whatever tripe the police feed them, and the general public has lost all respect for them We can blame drug prohibition. It is the root cause of most police corruption, and now corruption is the standard. Cops rule everything. We have no rights. Get used to it.
