Of course it's a response to you - are not just after saying LEO's "don't have the resources to appreciate being deputized to do the work of others."  

I'm telling you they appreciate being able to clear out some of the heinous gang members by any means necessary - including working within the framework of Federal law and with the cooperation of the Feds.  The police I know, including many friends and family, want the gangs BROKEN.  How anyone can say otherwise is beyond me.

By the way  - how is my response to you a follow-up to me?  what on earth are you talking about?
