Law Enforcement in Missouri has an important job – not only in enforcing justice and protecting people from evil – but also in ensuring that the power we allow them is not abused. If you aren’t convinced of this – please take a look at the following link: 2009 and 2010 Police Misconduct. Provided below are just a small sampling (as viewed through this useful website) of the lack in integrity as exhibited by law enforcement officers we trust to follow our Missouri Constitution – as well as hold to a standard of Christian behavior. Because as Missouri Tenth continually advocates, without a foundational standard of right and wrong (apart from social fashion or mob rule), we can expect many more disgraceful actions amongst our people in the future.

But POLICE misconduct is a state abuse, and I thought states were supreme? In fact, Madison intended that Federal power be as much a check on state power and state power would be on Federal power.
