Yeah, those were triumphs of tyranny, cheered on by the lying anti-American media complex.
But their lies don’t have a stranglehold on the country any more.
That’s why the cops are TERRIFIED by a wisp of a girl with an iPod camera pointed at them. Because the truth on that camera threatens them.
Because they know that when the American people see the truth, it threatens them. The same reason the media lies and refuses the truth.
Truth is a very powerful and dangerous thing to tyrants. Very powerful, and (unfortunately for them) very accessible.
True. The information age has woken millions like you and me out of our uniform worshiping fog. It's not 1972 anymore, when (we thought) only liberals and Black Panthers criticized police.
But what's scary is that, I fear you are naive about human nature. People WANT a tyranny! I used to be like the Bushies and think everyone dreamed of living under our beautiful Constitution. Heck, AMERICANS despise freedom! Stalin is still wildly popular in Russia. After years of trying to explain that away, I understand why now. And I think I know what Germans think of Hitler when they're in private.
Instant info goes both ways. Just as we see government corruption up close, politicians can see that the authoritarian position always polls better. We're hosed!

That condenses it all down to a simple fact.
Waco, Ruby Ridge, every voting booth in the country; its all the same.
The thugs fear the truth, and they own the courts.
Republican and Democrat are two committees of the same club.
