In a democracy elected officials control the police.. In a police state, the police can tell elected officials what to do. In a democracy elected officials can fire police leaders. In a police state police leaders cannot be fired by the officials the people have elected to supposedly run the government.
'In a police state Gestapo like police may terrorize political figures by invading their homes in the middle of the night like Robert Mueller did to .Paul J. Manafort. In a police state KGB like police may plant spies in political organizations like the Department of Justice did to Donald Trump.
Those who talk about the rule of law sometimes forget the most important of our laws are devoted to preventing misuse of the police powers to harass and intimidate political figures. One of the most important of these protections is the requirement that those making accusations be identified so the accused can challenge the charges. The accused may know that the accuser is likely to lie. Basing an investigation of a political candidate on an anonymous source violates the spirit if not the letter of this constitutional protection.
The most important of our laws is the United States Constitution. Article 2 of the United States Constitution states: " The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America."
The Constitution does not allow sharing of power with the Attorney General, the FBI Director or any other law enforcement official. Article 2 prohibits any law enforcement official from interrogating a president or trying to indict one. Such an action would be equivalent to an attempt to overthrow the government. Allowing the sharing of power would take away the people's power to control law enforcement,
Neither.

From Breitbart: Chicago’s Memorial Day weekend got a brutal start with 23 people shot and four killed from Friday afternoon to Saturday evening. And there are still two more days of the long holiday weekend to go.
Officials hastened to note that the numbers for the first hours of the three-day holiday weekend are on par with last year’s bloodletting, Chicago’s WGN TV reported.

After the Kenyanesian Usurpation it will take years to restore the rule of law.
We are not out of the woods yet.
Good thing the US is not a democracy. To watch a democracy in action look at South Africa. Not pretty.
What is revealing is how the majority of college students think “hurt feelings” is a good exception to freedom of speech.
What you will notice is the rest of the free nations are pretty much finished, with the US as a stand out. Countries on the maybe list might include Japan, South Korea, Switzerland and Australia. But if the US falls they are all screwed anyways.
If it were up to the NSA, CIA and FBI the US would be. They took over the Las Vegas investigation and now we don’t know a thing.
And gun sales just keep breaking records month after month.
Damn, and I thought we were a representative republic based upon the Constitution.
See what happens when you are not paying attention.

Only one third of the population supported revolution......a third were non committed, the other third were pro Britain
A very astute point. You know your history.
