Tyranny, huh?
I would argue that cops use the most effective means possible to “serve and protect”. For you and I - these means are safe, legal and decent. Our biggest beef? Getting an undeserved traffic ticket.
You call that tyranny? Sheesh.
But for millions of Baltimorons across the country police measures may be (have to be) above and beyond the law. Our law. A Law designed for a culture specific for you and me - yet a culture that is reviled and hated by the ferals. So the cops up their game in the ghettos and a Freddie Gray gets killed.
Oh, the Huge Tyranny. Boo Fricken Hoo.
Fine, the cops scale back and black on black murder rates predictably triple.
But for you to assume these questionable yet effective police measures for the 1-2 percent of Americans means that they will soon be applied to you and me is absurd. Unless you think you and me are of the same class and culture as the Baltimorons.
It is hardly absurd. It is real and it is coming. Now.
And thinking that it is not so just means that the tyranny will be ushered in so much faster as it always is by those that think “it couldn’t happen to me”.
As a Prosecutor I saw it’s beginnings. It is now rampant. If people truly understood the power that a Government has, they would be terrified.
We are facing tyranny and the police are the enforcers. It has morphed into a VERY different world than when I was in the Prosecutors office. We had police then, not a para-military force. THAT is what the police have become. And it is only going to get worse.
