And as we continue to lower standards for police recruits this is what we get, power hungry egotists that believe they are above the law.

It wouldn't be so bad if the law didn't seem to agree with them.

I had an uncle on my mother’s side who was a county deputy for forty years, I never heard of him firing a weapon at anyone. Of course things were different then and he was a monster, about six foot six and over 300 pounds. Most lawbreakers of that day took one look at him and surrendered. Only the most hardened and desperate would have thought of shooting at a deputy and only the foolhardy would have tried to manhandle him. The average man of his time was about half his size. I saw him taking one unfortunate from the county fair grounds when I was a little boy and I felt so sorry for that little guy. My uncle had the poor fellow’s right hand behind his back in a hammerlock and was holding him by the wrist with his left hand, he hadn’t bothered to handcuff the guy. Every time my uncle took a step the man’s feet seemed to come off the ground. Uncle smiled at my parents and me and waved his right hand and told us he didn’t have time to talk as he had to take the guy in.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't your books I was referring to re; solutions... Just the Gangster article.

I think your books give the savvy Patriot a lot to think about. Especially if Zero wins in Nov and things go seriously pear-shaped.

Without people like you in the mix, we are seriously sunk.

I concur. It’s a noose, incrementally tightening, choking the freedom and life out of this country, by a government who clearly has a deep desire to control and regulate everything, except for things such as our sovereignty and securing our borders.

Well, that and who can have sex with whom [or what] in which perverted and bizarre way. Liberals finally found a place they don't think the goobermint belongs, dontcha know.

So please, don't tell me how it's just awful for me to compare SWAT Teams to death squads.

You can call a pile of dog-shite a rose, but I'm still not giving it a deep sniff...

If the police need additional weapons for OMGWTFBBQ situations, call on the local militia. It is what we are supposed to be here for...

The prosecutorial misconduct in the Stevens case is also enormously worrying.

In the past year I have read a couple of stories in the Killeen, TX paper where the police would have been undoubtedly justified in shooting the suspect but handled the situations without doing so. I hope they keep on getting whatever training and guidance it is that keeps them that way.

In Gangster Govt, the reason I went so hard after GS, was to try to provoke a reaction. The only hope we have is to appeal to the honor of some journalists who are not totally whored out like GS. That’s why I kept it simple in Gangster Govt, with the Watergate/FAF comparison, tying in the MSM as complicit partners.

If there are no honest and brave journalists at ABCNNBCBS, we are done for. Sharyl Attkisson comes to mind at CBS, but she is virtually kept in a rubber room, and her bylines are internet only, not on the broadcast news by and large.

It really is as I wrote in GG: Woodward and Bernstein were not allowed to cover Watergate, but were sent to cover Earth Day instead.

I fear we are done for, and our legacy of freedom will soon be a memory.

“Losing my freedom was not the change I hoped for.”

The DOJ has become 100% politicized. We have a Gangster Govt, and the MSM is a fully complicit partner.

“Gangster Government, and Sakharov’s Immunity”

Save it for a rainy day. Show it to your children when they ask you, “How did your generation allow our freedom to be lost?”

It’s an old pattern, time-proven, and we are far down the chute.

” As is Issa’s lame attempt at the F&F investigation.”

I read here yesterday, that Boner is trying to silence Issa.
I also noticed that nobody in the House has voiced their solidarity with him.I despise Boner, so this I can believe.

Yeah... The Human Tear Duct has already come out to refute the rumors. Not very successfully IMO.

They have more than enough to push over this entire Administration, and they act as if their feet are glued to the floor.

Disgusting.

They were serving a warrant on someone for aggravated murder.

Where did you receive that information?

Could I see a link to that?

It is unfortunate the man was shot, but the SWAT and police were looking for someone who had committed murder

Were are you receiving this information?

There is virtually no more separation between local and federal, it is purely an administrative distinction without a difference. Local LE is now folded completely into the federal LE tapestry.

Absolutely.

“There is virtually no more separation between local and federal, it is purely an administrative distinction without a difference.

Local LE is now folded completely into the federal LE tapestry. That was the reason for all of the federal grants to local LE, to make them dependent, no different from a welfare mom on food stamps in section 8 housing.”

This is pretty much what I surmised.....get the locals addicted to money from D.C., then ever so gradually, tighten the noose

Issa, My FRiend, is fighting a lonely, losing battle mostly alone. he is losing because too many powerful individuals do not want him to win. And too few on our side give a damn whether he loses or not. Mostly our side does not give a damn either way. As long as we “don’t lower ourselves to their level”. Translation to that phrase: Drop ones trousers, bend over and grab ones ankles, and enjoy the ride.

Your book, EFAD, illustrates how the power is really in the hands of the citizens, should they choose to use it. There are a lot of 60 year olds who have the expertise to cut the
powers that be down to size, and they have already lived a full life under freedom.
