Topic: National Police Force

Congressman Ron Paul recently appeared on C-SPAN to discuss the unconstitutionality of a national police force and the public's fear of federal agencies like the IRS and BATF. Paul's comments regarding the 1993 Waco siege drew a sharp rebuke from Congressman Chet Edwards, who represented the Waco area. Edwards criticized Paul's rhetoric, comparing it to that of a Montana militiaman, and defended the government's actions by citing allegations against the Branch Davidians.
