Well, We Know Who The Felons Are - They Wear Badges

After four years of reporting on the various immoral, unethical and in many cases criminal acts perpetrated by people in our financial system and Congress, we now have our evidence at the bar.

This man was gassed for waving a flag. He was not alone.

Last night "OccupyOakland" was literally laid siege by the police. Firing rubber bullets and tear gas into a peaceful gathering, they committed hundreds of cases of felonious assault upon peaceful individuals. I'll lay odds that not one of the felons-in-blue will be indicted, prosecuted and imprisoned for their crimes.

I remind everyone that our Constitution guarantees you the right of free speech including the right to petition the government for redress of grievances.

This does not, of course, include the right to riot, destroy property and commit assaults and batteries.

Well, unless you're the cops. Then it appears that you have the right to do all of those things, irrespective of the fact that the people were exercising their lawful First Amendment rights - and nothing more.

The police didn't stop with tear gas. They also detonated explosives within the crowd - an act that, taken by an ordinary person, would constitute the use of a bomb and be considered terrorism.

Yeah, I know, they call them "flash-bangs"; intended to stun and surprise. Let's call them what they are: They're explosives, otherwise known as a bomb, and legally known to the BATFE as a "Destructive Device" as they contain more than the lawful limit of powder for a common firecracker. They can (and do) cause personal injury when fired into a crowd. That injury is reasonably foreseeable when the device is delivered. This makes the act an intentional deployment of a destructive device with the intent to harm a person - a serious felony.

Of course such felonies are not prosecuted when the police commit them. Just like the apparent felony murder committed in Chicago by a Gang-Banger in Blue who fatally shot an unarmed man in the back after he had already been shot four other times and was lying prone on the grass.

This man, it appears, was executed in a scene reminiscent of the various murderous thugdoms that have been all-to-common throughout history. Now we have summary justice-by-gang here, and the gang is wearing blue uniforms and badges!

Police have a tough job, but that's not an excuse for felonious behavior. The job of the police is to Protect and Serve. Lately, it appears they serve themselves, including smuggling guns, slot machines and stolen cigarettes, shooting anyone who might happen to be a nuisance to their "right" to tromp on the people's necks whenever they so choose.

I've long asked the following question: What happens when the people determine that law enforcement agencies - or the government in general - are felons?

This is no longer a rhetorical question, and the answer should give all law-abiding citizens pause.

I don't care if you hail from the left or right, or what your particular view of the "Occupy Wall Street" movement is. The fact of the matter is that we no longer have the foundational principle of this nation underlying our nation: The Rule of Law.

That's the difference between a Constitutional Republic and tyranny.

In a Constitutional Republic you do not have the rule of 100 jackbooted thugs wearing badges, discharging firearms (albeit - thus far - with rubber bullets) at people, tossing bombs into their midst and gassing them. You also don't have jackbooted thugs in blue shooting unarmed people in the back. Any rogue individual who attempts such a stunt goes straight to prison to rot along with the common mugger or murderer, because he or she is one and should an entire agency show up to commit these acts the immediate response is that the National Guard rises and arrests the entire agency, tossing all of them into the clink where they belong.

Today, however, this sort of abusive crap is exactly what we have in this nation and The Guard, who has sworn an oath to protect this land against all enemies, foreign and domestic, is nowhere to be found.

Those in California (along with those in both New York and Chicago) are discovering the hazards of their failure to demand that entire Constitution be strictly enforced in favor of the rights of the people.

Now you see the consequences of that failure America. You thought you were trading "a bit" of freedom for alleged security. What you were really doing is ceding your rights to a band of gang-banging felons-in-blue who have now demonstrated their clear intent to gas, bomb and even murder you.

Have you discerned the error of your ways yet?

We shall see.

Just spent the 10 minutes watching the presentation - well done and as pithy as one could get on the subject. If done by Denninger as state in the presentation, I must drop the word “complete” from my prior posting. Would be great for middle school introduction to social studies.

Oh, I saw it all on the news.
Wow, you don't look that old :)

I have never mistaken Karl for a conservative. and yes there are very good discussions at TF.
You describe his ‘breed’ well.

[spyone]

You are so off base it’s laughable. You’re a conservative?
You make no mention of the police actions which is what he’s writing about. You don’t like his comments on the tea party? Do you believe in the constitution? What is your opinion on the police actions?

>>You are so off base it’s laughable<<

In these dire times, caused by Denninger-supported President Obama, I’m always pleased to help you laugh

>>You’re a conservative?<<
Yes

>>You make no mention of the police actions which is what he’s writing about.<<
Police inaction is more like it. Just ask the Port of Oakland, local bank CUSTOMERS, and local MERCHANTS and their CUSTOMERS.

>>You don’t like his comments on the tea party?<<
Since Denninger says the Tea Party’s only agenda is gays, guns and God, it would be like disliking someone who is mentally challenged. Love the sinner hate the sin, as it were. Or in Denninger’s case, I love the dolt, but hate his relentless inanities.

>>Do you believe in the constitution?<<
Yes

>>What is your opinion on the police actions?<<
Did you mean to type inaction?

I like Phil Tagami. Amendments 1 & 2 YEE HAAAAH !
