It goes without saying that’s all gone now. Cops are a menacing omnipresence – and when they deal with us, it is usually order barking Command Voice style. You do not discuss, much less dispute. You Submit and Obey. Or else.The least recalcitrance – merely to question anything – is often sufficient to bring down a Fallujah-style escalation. People are routinely dragged out of their cars, roughly thrown to the ground, pummeled, kicked – and much worse than that. Often, over trivial things. Police even in small towns have become indistinguishable from soldiers.
It is out of hand – obviously so – and if left unchecked will grow much worse, much sooner as the vortex picks up speed. What was inconceivable 20 years ago is routine today. What will be routine 20 years from today?

ReplyDeleteSociety will soon no longer tolerate the civil liberty violations being imposed upon us by the local constabulary.
ReplyDeleteIn earlier societies, the citizenry rose up against the establishment in order to moderate the government and it's henchmen....
Perfect comment 10:12. 10:40- How much crime is prevented is impossible to measure. Unfortunately most of this article is the typical media hyped nonsense portraying the police as the bad guys when that simply isn't true..
ReplyDeleteSome police are bad, and some are good. But buying them a hummer is just a waste of taxpayer's money, even if they seized it from sum drug dealer
ReplyDeleteThe only difference between a police officer and a criminal is that the police officer carries a legal weapon and a badge. Corruption is rampant from the local police departments to the state and federal levels. Unfortunately, the "good officers" have to suffer because of a few bad apples.
ReplyDeleteAs this country has slipped into a lawless criminal state we must be in what is considered a police state.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't break the law , thin don't worry , police won't bother you. That is ,unless you are black , then they will lock your a$$ up cause you done something wrong . 90% of crimes by 20% of the population , minorities , including Mexicans.
Law enforcement has become another collection service for the state.
ReplyDeleteThey will enforce victimless "crimes" for the sake of revenue only.
That is pathetic because they are now breaking the law by not enforcing it and not reporting it when it comes to minorities committing crimes against other people.
2:08 is correct, there is a disproportionate number of crimes being committed by minorities. The number directly coincides with the breakdown of their value system and lack of education.
