“The case will be tried in their police state courts, prosecuted by their police state prosecutor, absolving their police state employee who is represented by their police state defense attorney.”

That’s my interpretation based on previous similar well publicized cases.

I don’t know what our boiling point is. I can only hope we have one. Since if we don’t, we are all, at random, subject to the same kind of treatment anytime anywhere.

Just the other night I was at my local favorite Mexican restaurant having dinner and a marguerita with the wife. When people drink margueritas they tend to get a little loud, laugh a lot, and have a little fun. Oddly some of the local church crowd will come in after evening service and bring the kids.

Well this particular night, apparently there was a guy who was a little boistrous using some bad language. Not so boistorous that we could here him though in the same room. But loud enough the church crowd sitting next to his table heard him. They called the police.

I’m standing outside in the cold smoking when they arrive. I thought they were coming in to have dinner. One of them in a sarcastic tone says to me: “if I had to go outside in the cold to smoke I would quit.” I cringed, but had enough wits to keep my mouth shut.

They go on into the restaurant. They spoke briefly to the guy the church crowd had called about. Apparently they determined they had no just cause to arrest the guy at the time. Since he was not drunk and certainly not disorderly. Think about it.

I’m still outside finishing my smoke when they exit. I overhear one of them say: “if I catch that SOB outside, I’m taking him down!”

This is where we are, and these are the guys we pay to “protect and serve us.”
