The police state is not only here – it is being welcomed with open arms.
Exhibit A: In Aurora, Colorado, police searching for suspected bank robbers locked down an entire intersection, dragooned 40 random motorists out of their cars at gunpoint, handcuffed them and “asked” for permission to search their vehicles. (See here for the ABC News story.)
Naturally, no one refused permission.
The action itself is startling: 40 people, guilty of nothing more than proximity, of being in the same general area where a suspected criminal might also be, are literally pulled from their vehicles, shackled and detained for more than two hours – even after it was obvious they were guilty of no crime at all.
Even more startling, however, than these over-the-top tactics is the fact that (apparently) every one of these 40 innocent people complied without a peep of protest. Not one said: “I’m sorry officer, but unless I’ve committed a crime I’d like to be free to go about my business.” Not one said, ” I do not consent to any searches.”
None put up a fuss when the cuffs came out.
One woman interviewed by ABC News clucked happily: “Yeah, we all got cuffed (laugh) until they figured out who did what.” No doubt this woman will not object when a gang of armed men kicks in her door, invades her home and holds her family at gunpoint until they figure out who did what. After all, there are criminals about. They could be anywhere. Which means, anything is justified.
In the words of one ABC News blogger, “Sounds like the police did their job – and did it exceptionally well!” And another: “I think the police did a great job in an unusual circumstance and protected the people of the city from a dangerous criminal. Those people should praise the police, not sue them!”

Na... sue them, their superiors, the mayor and city council, the Governor They are all liable for allowing so much abuse of authority.
These people's lives were put at great risk at the end of guns aimed to inflict maximum lethality held by agitated roid raging badged zealots exercising unlawful thug tactics.
Sorry pigs, you gotta get your man another way. A way that shows respect to law abiding citizens according to the Constitution. Period.
Lol yea constitution. I bet most people don't even know there si a such thing anymore. This is exaclty why I have so much disdain for police. They bust law breakers by breaking the law....how does that make sense.
Obamie has almost completed his goal of a complete police state in Omerica. The Omilitary and Ogovernment are also complete. Study the kuran in the future and worship the Oblack Opanthers.
Commarades,the police state is upon us.
