Law enforcement officers all over America are becoming more visible and more vocal in terms of what they need to do their jobs. Everyone must understand that police officers are inclined to do their jobs to the letter of the law. That's their job. Give them bad laws and they will be incompetent police officers. They hate their jobs because their jobs defy common sense. Ask one.

Police officers should have as much discretion as possible. That's not police state. That's police officers using their best judgement as professionals that have the right to say, at the end of the day, I'm a good cop. I have done the best I could have done. Nobody knows what that is except a cop.

So, are we going to micromanage them, subject them to laws that lead to vigilantism? Or are we going to trust them? We're better off if we do. Trayvon Martin taught me that.
