Is "Government" (really), the PROBLEM ??

maybe YES; maybe NO!!

T 'was Ronald Reagan who hit on the idea that "GOVERNMENT" was the problem!  Nevertheless, he sought Government Offices (Governor or California, and President of the United States), and, depending on your point of view; set about to make his proposition TRUE!  Whether it is about TAXES, Deficits, Disappearing Middle Classes, or Cops killing Black and Brown Children; a close look at those issues will implicate Policies of  "ol -triple-six"; Ronald Wilson Reagan!

The problem, about this problem; is that the general public is about as simple-minded as Ronnie, and fail to distinguish between the FEDERAL Government (Ronnie's b*tch), and STATE, COUNTY and LOCAL Governments. Cuyahoga County, which includes the City of Cleveland, Ohio, is a case in point.  Law Enforcement in most STATE Governments is principally performed at the County and City Levels.  Sheriffs are County Law Enforcers.  Chiefs of Police are City Law Enforcers.  Most Minority Citizens don't know or understand the difference.  They see Police as Police, .. period!

The Tamir Rice Tragedy has been severely complicated by confusion over police practices and enforcement lines of authority.  MEDIA, through sloppy reporting, has added tremendously to the confusion!  Recent controversy over the handling of the investigation of the murder of the child by a Cop plays into this sad affair!    http://www.cleveland.com/court-justice/index.ssf/2015/06/sheriffs_department_hands_over.html

The COUNTY is the basic unit of government in every STATE of the United States, except for Louisiana (they have Parishes), and Alaska (they have Boroughs).  The Distribution of taxing authority, policing powers, and many other administrative tasks, is determined by State Law.  COUNTIES were the governmental units, from which Congress authorized the formation of our STATE Governments.

Stay Vigilant!  Those, like Reagan, who despise the Federal Government, usually do so because of some practice they which to engage in without OVERSIGHT, or without some POWER to Interrupt!  When you Call the LAW; make sure you KNOW who you are calling,  what power they have, and where their authority comes from??
