What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?

I wish “law enforcement” was as ENTHUSIASTIC about cracking down on ILLEGAL ALIENS as they are about genuine Americans!
I’m guessing Hollywood has a lot to do with the oread if the police state. When you keep showing futuristic police state films like Fifth Element, Total Recall, Elysium, some of the crap will stick on the wall and manifest itself via the life imitates art m.o.
The cops, no longer really care about upholding Americans’ rights, since they have become the adopted red-headed child of the lovely and brilliant Dept. of Homeland Security, (thanks GW!).
When you openly target Americans as ‘suspect’, with the ‘law’ (Military Commissions Act of 2006) signed by ‘GW’, all bets are off. And that was done during a Republican administration, which was the party of The Constitution.
The writer would like to assume that most cops are normal decent human beings. He’s wrong.
“It’s safer to be a cop today than it has been in over 50 years.”
Well yea, if you take into consideration that they are picking
and choosing what laws to enforce and criminal
activity to ignore. When your target is law abiding citizens
and you choose or are told to ignore 40 million illegal
wetback criminal aliens, that does make the fuzz job easier.
Besides, today’s fuzz/cop/thug isn’t for law enforcement at all.
They are for revenue generation, and public intimidation only.
Enforcers for political gangsters, not much different
than the mob.
The militarization of police has effectively subverted Posse Comitatus.
Remedy: cut ALL federal funding for local police. As a side benefit, it eliminates the ability of the feds to coerce improper cooperation from the cops by threatening loss of federal funds.
When you have a SWAT team, every situation looks like it has a SWAT solution.
