If the Government tells the Chinese ” It’s OK to go Door to Door and Kill the people ” Would we likewise ALLOW them to Kill the people in the Name of whatever the Governments reasons may be? HELL NO, we would Take Up Arms and Wait for those Nasty Chinese who wanted to Kill the people, and we would do the same to them.

You can use whatever scenario you want to, but it all boils down to the SAME THING. The People are being killed off by a Rogue Army of Armed Thugs that see nothing wrong in shooting someone who they seem to think could be a threat to them.

When will the Citizens Learn that these Armed Thugs are NOT YOUR FRIENDS, and start Protecting your fellow Americans from these Local Armies of Armed Thugs?

Lets say that the Chinese or Russians were to Invade this country, and start going from House to House with Armed Thugs, shooting people and leaving bodies all over the place. Would the American people just continue to sit in their homes waiting for the Armed Forces to come shoot them up as well? By the way this article looks, the answer to that question would have to be YES THEY WOULD.

But In reality, the Majority of Veterans and armed citizens would start some kind of Group to Protect the citizens, and may even build their own Armed Defense Team to Hunt Down those Rogues and kill them and their families off, as they are doing to the citizens.

So, let me ask another question. What the Hell is the Difference between Armed Swat Team killing citizens, or the Chinese Killing Citizens? NOT A DAMN BIT.

One Last Question. OK sense there is No real difference between them, WHY ARE THE PEOPLE NOT DOING A DAMN THING ABOUT IT?

This question has eluded me for a long time now.

after reading story after story after story – many reported solely by this blog – of cops killing dogs; and kids; and little old grandmaw ladies; and trying to kill many others while serving warrants at the wrong address; of gunning down unarmed guys with 50 shots; of framing/railroading/testilying innocent men into long prison sentences because their *special cop senses* TOLD them the guys were guilty; of DA’s and coroners doing likewise because it’d look good on their conviction records; of cops tasering handcuffed people and grannies because it’s fun; and on and on and ON….

and considering i’ve personally seen cops doing hardcore weapons-drawn “felony stops” on little old men and schoolgirl cheerleaders with a broken tail light or an expired license plate more than once …

and *in each and every case*, the LEO community not only vociferously denied being at fault in any way but insisted that the outrage in question was o-so-sacred “policy”……or, failing that, they “promise an investigation” that never seems to bear results….

when exactly would you suggest that we be allowed to consider all cops as dangerous mad dogs, like the gangs? at what point would it be *reasonable* for us to “succumb” to a war mentality? did you have a number in mind? will it require proof that a cop shot the kennedys?

By the way, I am also from a law enforcement family. To some extent, I share your dissatisfaction with many of the current trends in policing, but to say that the sole concern of ALL officers (you wield the broad brush like a champ, my man) is to go home “unscathed” is just demonstrably false, in my experience. I mean, did you ever go on a ride-along or have any in-depth conversations with your LEO relatives about their work? I will concede that the danger involved in police work is stressed too much in academy training, and may warp recruits’ perception about the threat the community actually poses to them. The police are not always heroes and they are not always the enemy. They are human beings working in a country that needs to start living up to its limited government pretensions. If you don’t realize that, then you may have already succumbed to the kind of war mentality that you claim the police have fallen into.

I’m convinced that these raids won’t stop until the cost to those performing them is too high. Once entire entry teams gets greased while performing one of this abominations nothing is going to change. When the masked bandits in jackboots are convinced that if they kick down a door in the middle of the night that one or more of them is most likely going home in a body bag they’re going to be much less enthusiastic about doing them.

After all, this whole protect and serve mantra and the propaganda about a brave, selfless officer jumping in front of a bullet to save a defenseless citizen and putting his life on the line at every single traffic stop to keep you safe from the barbarians is so much horseshit. They’re concerned with one thing – going home unscathed at the end of the shift. if they get to run around and play with cool coptoys and kick around some derelicts slinging weed or crackrock then all the better. Once they know that engaging in brutal home invasions will most likely result in not going home at the end of the shift the numbers of these things will drop dramatically.

They had better re-examine what they doing. When you have a law abiding straight arrow citizen from a LE family wishing to see you and your entry teams all come out of a building in body bags every time you engage in one of these abominable raids there is something very wrong with what you’re doing.

The functions of rev’nooers and peace officers need to be separated. Such separation would improve both; the peace officers would be spared the corrupting influences of revenue enforcement, and the rev’nooers would be spared some of the power associated with peace officers.

How so? Cops are supposed to act in such fashion as to minimize the risk of harm to innocents. In some hostage situations, the only way to minimize the risk of harm to innocent hostages is to engage in a full-strength assault. Depending upon the mentality of the hostage-takers, doing anything less may increase the risk that they will kill the hostages.

Drug raids can claim no such justification.

A cop’s job is to protect the people and to die FOR us not to kill us. If a cop can’t handle the situation without resorting to force, the cop should be terminated.

One of my unanswered questions is: “Why did we need an amendment to ban alcohol but no amendment was needed to bans drugs?” It would appear that the laws banning “drugs” violate the Constitution or maybe those folks that pushed through the 18th amendment were just STOOOPID!

the precedent was set long ago. some animals are merely more equal than others.

It is impossible to believe that an infant and mother should be executed for being at home. It has been suggested (by forum trolls I suppose) that it is appropriate that they die (the mother in this case) because they are drug addicts, drug dealers, welfare burdens, black, or not telepathic. I believe it is important for us to require a statement of reason in situations like this. Tell me *why* he is not responsible…for if he is not another is, and must be held accountable. If the jury believes him morally correct I want it to be *very* clear that murder is reasonable in this context so we can dismantle their justification.

It’s pretty obvious from reviewing its’ history that it was racist from the get-go. Like as not, the factor existed then, and it shows up in the racial composition of our prisons today. Like a ‘fire and forget’ missile, the DrugWar has been trundling along for over 8 decades after its’ launch based upon ‘yellow journalism’ and it seems only historians are able to point to its’ bigoted origins.

If more of the minority leadership of this country were to examine those origins, they’d be more interested in shutting down the DrugWar instead of bemoaning the latest dead unarmed person of color. You’d think, anyways…
