Oooof.  If the first mission statement was worded "to promote justice and 
protect everyone's freedom"  I would feel alright with it.  But the way it is 
worded it sounds like a mission statement for an american "gestapo" protecting 
the "freedom" of america.  Makes them sound like a mini army.  Makes ME scared.

And I'm hoping they do a little more than "protect and serve".  That sounds 
pretty passive.  I hope they get out in the communities and get to know the 
people they work with.  Makes their job a lot safer and easier.
