| Message | The police Department affects the country on a nation wide scale. They should not be left up to local governments to decide. //Happy now? |

| Message | Ok, you actually made an argument, but a lot of things that effect the nation are left up to local governments, I believe police should be controlled by the local government so that enough attention is put to the service. |

| Message | We disagree strongly with No. 3 and have mixed feelings about the rest. |
