<»IVT» OLT STATEMENT
An old proverb says that a
fool, among other things, may
hr known by his anger without
<‘ause, his speech without prof
it, his change without prog-
ress, and his inquiry without ob-
ject Today some of the theories
being advanced for ‘‘watching’’
and “rntaining** law enforce
ment would suggest that, in ad
dltion to these quirks, fools may
also be known for their lack «-f
i -mmonsense and judgment.
f'riine terrorizes many com
n.unities throughout the coun
try. In some areas people are
afraid to be on the streets, par
tlcularly at night It would seem
therefore, that preventing crime
! n(1 wiping police to bring vio
latora to justice would be a pri
rrary and reasonable concern of
all citizens. Unfortunately, th.»
light of reason blinds some pr*o-
pie.

lice force. Others say college
youth should not he subjected
to contacts by police offtn-rs,
end that only specially trained,
highly paid, unarmed, elite po-
lice forces should be used to
bundle civil demonstrations 11
these ideas anti techniques seem
half talked, it is because they
are But the intent of those who
barter such sehrmra Is clear.
They want to negate the rule
of the law. To do this, they
must first create public distrust
of and ill will toward tht*e who
enforce the law.
