OBEY!!!!!!!!

Obey the enforcement arm(s) of your ruling elite-class masters and corporate USA.

Look at USA history’s many events where imprisonment, fines, exile and even murder have been used to force you scum commoners to OBEY!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve commented on this before. Cops should imagine how much fun their job will be when no one wants to talk to them at all.

Imagine inner-city or ghetto neighborhood attitudes, where nobody talks to ‘the man’ and the cops have to patrol with plenty of backup. Now, apply that mentality to suburbs and gated communities — where the residents are typically also armed. Not just with firearms, but with money and legal capacity to fight back. Smiles with knives behind them and polite ‘sorry, officer, I was in the shower’ responses.

I made this remark before: I don’t think it’s ‘all cops’ that are causing the problem. But by resisting any concept of policing themselves, the police are irrevocably damaging not just their own authority but the social contract of ‘rule of law’. In other words: if you protect that ‘thin blue line’, you give people less and less of an interest in respecting your badge.

And without that consent, that respect, you are just a grease stain on the pavement. As Pratchett remarked in his Night Watch books, policemen only function because people let them.

Great example of faulty logic right there.

When last I checked, it was perfectly legal to own and use bath salts. If some people are using them to get high, i fail to see how this should expose all owners of bath salts to prosecution.

I fail to see how this should expose ANY owners of bath salts to prosecution.

When that change comes, few people will talk to the police without a lawyer present, call the police for anything less that serious crimes, or volunteer any information to the police.

They confiscated the tables? And a 2-lb bag of epsom salts? What’s next, claiming oleander plants are evidence of wanting to poison someone? Owning a kitchen scale means you’re a cocaine kingpin? At least the comments on that site were heartwarmingly scornful.

I’m afraid that voting won’t accomplish a thing. Look at how Obama promised a whole list of reforms that voters wanted. Has he kept his promise on even ONE of these issues? Politicians are corrupt liars, and playing along is a sucker’s game.

Change will come when government thugs realize that a significant number of people are serious about defending their liberties. Exactly what that will entail is up to the thugs: if they push us into a corner, they will certainly scream when they reap the whirlwind.

I just returned from a trip to the state I grew up in and spent some time with one of my close friends I’ve known for over 25 years. He had a story for me:

His father lives alone in a house he has owned for probably 40 years in a small college town. There are a large number of students that live in his neighborhood. He works for city and has never been in trouble.

He came home a few days ago to find a package on his porch with his address, but no name. (this is where I immediately knew what was happening, I’m sure most regulars do too.) Unlike most of us, he didn’t immediately pick of the package and take it inside to see what it was. He had other stuff to do and left it sitting.

A few hours later, a guy in plainclothes with a badge knocks on his door and starts asking him about it and why didn’t he take the package in. He tells my friends father that the package contains MJ and they have had him under surveillance and that they have a search warrant for his house. The cop basically ends the conversation by saying the homeowner was lucky he didn’t take the package inside, because he would have been in a lot of trouble if he did.

So these small town cops did so little investigation that they considered a long time resident and town employee a suspected drug dealer vs. the common sense conclusion that local college kids are attempting to use his house as drop spot since the guy is at work all day. On top of that, most people would bring a package addressed to them into the house and open it. If I’m not mistaken, a package sent to you that you didn’t order is considered a gift under the law and you can keep it.

Bottom line, a guy minding his own business came within an inch of having his door kicked in and charged with drug trafficking by podunk cops.

Keep it up cops. You’re turning law abiding citizens against you every day.

What we need is an addendum to the castle law that states it’s open season on a cop that forces his way into a home sans search warrant.

Dismiss what charges? None of the occupants of the home were even arrested, let alone charged. That is the most galling part of this story; the Pigs conducted a Knock n’ Talk, intimidated the woman who answered the door into letting them in, entered the home and robbed its occupants, stole and destroyed the property of the owner, and yet never found any evidence of a single crime for which they could arrest or charge. THAT should have all of us seething with outrage.
