"This Country!"

What is this country if the citizens do not have the right to protect their property? Yes, money is nothing more than earned property.

"Yes, freedom and liberty are also worth defending, but shooting a police officer is not the way to accomplish that."

In cases such as this, the police officers are nothing more than theives. That anyone would defend this type of activity is sickening and a clear sign that the tenents of our founders have been abolished. The WOsD has wrought great damage on freedom and individual liberty.

"but I do know there are valid reasons some of these things are done,"

Name one valid reason that money is confiscated without the victim being charged with a crime.

"there are a lot of GOOD cops too!"

I agree. Now, how is your average citizen supposed to be able to tell the difference as they are being approached by a police officer? How can they tell if it is a good cop or just a government endorsed theif.

The fact that this department is bragging about their take over the last 3 years leads me to believe that they have created a lot of victims.

Thanks for enlightening me.
I will make sure to encourage my son to pursue a different profession.

There is no valid reason. It's theft legalized through anti-drug hysteria.

"Name one valid reason that money is confiscated without the victim being charged with a crime."

Because the prosecution believes he cannot get a conviction based on "beyond a reasonable doubt", but can based on "a preponderance of the evidence".
