You do understand that the badge worshipers and jackboot lickers are going to call you a cop hater, don’t you?
Oh, no, man. I like the police a lot. I’m just not all glassy eyed about them. Technically, I’ve had more run ins with bus drivers than bad cops.
Sen. Patrick Anderson should horse whipped and then tarred and feathered...
Myself, the cop and the prosecutor would be on the list till I got 22K worth of payback.
The asshat turns out to be a Republican:
Senator Patrick Anderson - District 19
Committees | Offices | District Information | Zip codes Represented | Counties Represented | PressOccupation: Attorney / Farmer
Education: Oklahoma State University, B.S.; University of Oklahoma School of Law, J.D.
Legislative Experience: Senate Member, 2004 - present
Hometown: Enid, Oklahoma
Party: RepublicanPatrick Anderson was elected to the Oklahoma State Senate in 2004. He represents Senate District 19, which includes Alfalfa, Garfield, Grant and Kay Counties. After graduating from Oklahoma State University, Patrick received his Juris Doctorate from the University of Oklahoma School of Law.
Patrick currently serves as the Chair of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Select Agencies and is a member of the Business and Commerce, Judiciary, Pensions, and Veterans and Military Affairs Committees.
Patrick is employed as a Vice President at Central National Bank & Trust Company of Enid and also farms in Garfield County. He was born and raised in Enid and continues to reside there with his wife, Kelly, and their two daughters.
If I were voting in District 19, I'd be sorely tempted to violate my no D's rule ...
“I’m willing to bet that your wife’s lawyer had to pull some teeth to get his hands on that dash cam video too.”
The video was such a big piece of our defense that we got it pretty fast, but our lawyer was really active about getting it. Everything else took a long time and lots of effort.
The Prosecutor had my wife’s mug shot on her wall in her office - right above her monitor. Our lawyer’s assistant saw it. Apparently something negative was written on it, but we never found out what that was. No joke.
A racist, bigoted prosecutor can make your life hell.
At the time we were so glad to be done with it (and broke) that we just walked away.
In retrospect, however, I look back on it as you do.
How long until that "set period of time" is forever, like felons who have served their sentence and firearms?
I've said for awhile now that there is no real difference between Republican and Democrat: both are statist, authoritarian, elitists.
Just responsible I guess. Too bad there aren’t more of us.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”There's also something to be said about the morality of laws which punish things that are often called
victimless crimes— that is where no person was harmed physically, monetarily, etc — the system you espouse raises all men to accountability under the faceless government, unable to face his accuser because his accuser is
the state, and that is a dangerous spot especially where
the statecan essentially change venues (that is the charges) for the same act when they are [occasionally] thwarted by the Jury.
