All right, enough is enough. There is entirely too much violence in our society. When a perfectly innocent citizen is forced to shoot police officers to avoid the service of a warrant, we know it is time our elected representatives pass a law that makes it a felony to shoot a police officer.
Oh wait. Never mind.
