“The modern policeman is, in fact, the antithesis of Marshal Dillon and an expression of the stereotypical British sheriff — a civil servant responsible only to government and governmental policy,” she adds.
The United States Constitution initially prevented the federal government from controlling state and local law enforcement, but this has changed over the last few decades as a centralized federal government has incrementally exercised its monetary influence over police, especially after 9/11.

This is the service that the wussified populace have been convinced they must have to survive... that's progressivism.

It does amaze me that some seem to think we just woke up one day like this... and they still scream for more govt.

that's progressivism.

Nixon's law and order platform and his war on drugs. The Willie Horton ad was generated by progressives, Really. You are completely detached from reality. Really, you make the argument that progressives are responsible. Get out of that Ivory tower.

Nixon was extremely progressive. I can think of only a few others more enthralled by govt solutions and controls.

Certainly in the top ten... the history is there for all to read. For the time being.

You can continue to bastardize political nomenclature, but it was the conservatives who waged the war on crime and the war on drugs. It was their bills at the federal and state level. You are living in a bubble.

Progressivism is basically a govt solution for every real or perceived problem... including social controls.

I don't give a damn if you call them republican or democrats... the results matter.

Under your definition government is progressive. That is abusrd.
