Listen to yourself... "Police-corrections complex." "Few million jackbooted thugs."

You are ranting like an ignorant DUer.

FYI: There aren't even "several million" police officers in this country. As for your google example... I guess your brain is too fried to realize that "hits" in a search engine is not equal to actual incidents.

The sad thing is, you don't even realize how crazy that you sound.

Proving once again that you think less than you type, you respond:

“FYI: There aren’t even “several million” police officers in this country. As for your google example... I guess your brain is too fried to realize that “hits” in a search engine is not equal to actual incidents.”

I guess your brain is too small to think across borders. There are millions of police all over the world, and you think they’re all friendly Officer Bobs because your neighborhood has one. But the sort of discretion wielded by police is the same power that corrupts absolutely, and that the power held by most police is far greater than that held by the same politicians you rail against. Obama and Dingy Harry and Nancy Pelosi can stare you down, but the cameras are on them. Meanwhile, most any average cop can put anyone in jail for 48 hours for looking at them wrong. I know whose threat is more immediate to my person and freedom.

And for you to think that there is no police-corrections complex in this country ignores the fact that Americans are overincarcerated to the tune of 738 persons per 100K—2 million+ prisoners in this country. The Chicoms, using liberal estimates, are putting up numbers just a little higher (790 or so). One in every 31 U.S. citizens is in some part of the criminal justice system: parole, probation, jail or prison. Say what you want, it is NOT a free country. And someone besides the general populace wants it that way, because the drug laws that put away people for holding small amounts of various chemicals, and overstock the prisons, are opposed by most Americans these days. You could check out the latest Field poll on the matter, if you cared.

But you probably don’t. Happy stomping!
