Regardless of how the taxes are collected and divied up, the police force is funded from tax-payer dollars. And from another angle laws are written by our representatives. We, the tax-payers, elect and pay these representatives. Police enforce these laws. So, in every way, shape, and form the tax-payers are entitled to ask these questions and we are entitled to know the answers.
