Here's a bit of prep for tomorrow's work. Posse. In one word, it means that every citizen is responsible for catching evil doers and bringing them to justice. We all know who they are. The sheriff deputizes us. We ride. There is a hue and cry. We all ride.
Note that it is the sheriff who calls the hue and cry. It is not the police department. Why not? Police do not deputize. Sheriffs do. They talk about community policing. It's a great idea. Sheriffs, voted in by the people, have been doing just that for centuries.
Voted in by the people, the sheriff turns right back to the people and deputizes us with his hue and cry. It's on us to help him. Imagine that. Bad guys go run. They flee. We catch them. We bring them to justice. That is law and order. Without it, there is no freedom.
I say let us all dream a new dream of law and order upon our land. We'll talk about the vote. We'll talk about corrupt judges. We'll raise the hue and cry. America is a land of freedom, which means it is a land of law and order. And for that, we thank the sheriff.
