POLICE STATE WATCH: Trump To Sign Prison Reform Bill That Could Free Thousands...

[Anathema]

That's definitely not the type of prison reform that I could ever support.

Good on Trump. It's time to dismantle this Police State we've become. If they're non-violent offenders, their sentences shouldn't be so long-term. The next step for Trump should be releasing all non-violent folks who've been incarcerated on drug charges. Our Prisons are horrifically over-crowded with non-violent drug offenders.

The US now ranks #1 in the world in imprisoning its Citizens. Who would have thought that could ever happen here? I applaud Trump on this move. But it's only a good start. Much more needs to be done. We need to reverse this Police State trend.



The bill, which could immediately release 4,000 federal prisoners, is likely to be brought up for a vote early next week.

“My administration strongly supports these efforts and I urge the House and Senate to get together … work out their differences [and] get a bill to my desk. I will sign it,” Trump said at an event the White House described as a prison reform summit.

Trump called prison reform an issue “that unites people from across the spectrum”, as he thanked progressive commentator Van Jones and his son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner for their involvement in pushing for the bill.

The bill would also expand compassionate release, giving elderly and terminally ill inmates a path home, and invest tens of millions in re-entry programs. It would also end the shackling of women giving birth behind bars and provide them with necessary hygiene items at no charge...

Police departments across the nation became militarized after 9/11.

They became extensions of the DHS after the passage of the Patriot Act and the newly revised NDA act. Once that was done, surplus military equipment from our never ending undeclared war on the rest of the world was to be sold to local police departments, and different types of civilians were to be classified as potential terrorists.

Once someone is then classified as a terrorist, they no longer are subject to the protections of the Constitution, and are thus subject to the draconian measures of the Police state. Thus, the photos of what the modern police force and the new brutal mentality of the STATIST.

Hollywood has helped propagandize and normalized this attitude in much of the public, we can see this in Tipsycatlovers attitude. This is the attitude of someone who watches A LOT of movies and TV on Netflix and Amazon etc. People no longer have Constitutional rights if they are at all seen as a potential threat to the state.

Naturally, that is bullocks, regualar folks aren't, this only happens in the movies and on TV, but it gives the state a pretext for violating the 4th amendment, (we're all aware of the truth of what Snowden told us, everyone is a target,) which then gives them a pretext for violating all the rest.

Hence, the reason you hear of the state being paranoid and shooting people and locking them up for the least little cause.

If you even have contraband, they will use it as an excuse, especially if you are hostile to the State and it's apparatchiks.

Don't look for it to get any better unless the Patriot Act and the NDAA are repealed.




The thing we have to come to terms with, is that when Bush said, "The terrorists hate us for our freedoms?"

Well, they won, we no longer live in that free society we once used to, we did it to ourselves. Especially whenever you look at a police car and you don't think they are here to protect you, but they are here to give you a ticket for god knows what, or to lock you up.

These were my clients. For 35 years I protected their "rights" before I finally figured out they should be locked up for life, and a short life it should be. I got how many back on the streets? I don't know, hundreds, thousands. I need to pay for that karma.

We need a star chamber, an extrajudicial force that will smother these criminals in their beds.

You need to be locked up before you start shooting into a crowd.
