Not really. To be libertarian you have to be pretty idealistic. They don't qualify. Now they are just Republicans that don't trust the police.

Well, that's some progress anyway.

All it will take to fix our police problem is sufficient public will. There isn't any other barrier.

That assumes an ethical standard, and that the public isn't completely ignorant or malevolent like the one used in top comment example.

It might be true that a large number of self-proclaimed libertarians are idealistic, but it's certainly not true that idealism is necessary for libertarian views.
