Barney Fife Meets Delta Force

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Our police departments continue to be more militarized and become more of a threat to the people than the criminals they are supposed to be protecting society from. Republicans and Democrats are mostly sitting on their hands and whistling while people's lives are ruined over minor offenses or no offenses of the law at all. When are people going to get off their asses and demand this stop?

[R.C. Christian]

It started with the phony war on drugs and escalated to the war on terror under the watch of politicians who believe the U.S. is a battlefield. It's easy to buy an armored vehicle when the Pentagram gives them away for less than the price of a good used car. Despicable military culture has invaded the police forces of the United States and it is intentional.

A solution looking for an ever-decreasing problem is killing innocents and ruining lives.

"If a widespread pattern of [knock-and-announce] violations were shown . . . there would be reason for grave concern."
—Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, in Hudson v. Michigan, June 15, 2006.

You can stop it if you want to, it's in the freaking Constitution. Either people want the local police to protect them with excessive force or they are victims of union based education system and ain't got a clue about their rights and responsibilities as citizens or they speak spanish.

Let's try this again, whitehall, without frothing and try to make some sense.

The paramilitarization is not the result of our public school system but rather came about because of private and home schooling.

The militarization of our police is the result of private and home schooling?

Would you mind fleshing out that line of reasoning for us?

"Nearly 80% of the SWAT raids the ACLU studied were conducted to serve search warrants, usually in drug cases. With public support for the War on Drugs at an all-time low, police are using hyper-aggressive, wartime tools and tactics to fight a war that has lost its public mandate."

OK, lets do it again. The freaking Tea Party people get off their asses to try to make candidates more responsive to the demands of their constituents but the "moderates", the pot head libertarians and the lazy union educated masses hate them for their political agenda. We live in the land of the free and the home of the brave and most dumb asses would rather complain about "the system" than do anything about it including voting. Sara Palin showed that a single soccer mom could make a difference in local and state government and yet the left wing idiots hate her for it. It's our Country to lose or win. Take control of local and state government and tell them what you want.
