Maher On Boston Manhunt: "This Country Is Becoming A Police State" (video)
RealClearPolitics ^ | April 27, 2013 | RealClearPolitics

On the Friday broadcast of his HBO show Real Time, host Bill Maher opined on the police force used in Boston following the twin bombings and during the manhunt for the younger Tsarnaev brother in the suburb of Watertown.

"I want to talk about the police," Bill Maher said. "I want to talk about the police, who I am a supporter of and of course, obviously, we all are. We would be in big trouble without the police."

Maher proceeded to show images of what the police presence looked like in a urban city like Boston.

"I mean, if this is what you have, why don't you invade a country?" Maher opined. "I mean, go up to Canada, take their oil."

"You might want to call it an urban assault vehicle," Maher said of the half-track vehicle manned by the Boston Police Department.

"This country is becoming a police state and it is very troubling to me," Maher observed.

When even a fool like Maher can spot it——it’s bad.

This EVIL POS ‘campaigned’ for the EVIL ONE...no doubt voted for the USURPER POS in the White Hut, and now he complaines? Let Maher and his ilk EAT CAKE!

And let’s hope this show of Police State Force soon comes to Bill’s neighborhood...I wanna see video of him being driven from his home with hands high over his head with a fully automatic M16 stickin’ in his ugly face. And then I want to see them come out with whatever contraband they might find there (illicit drugs come to mind)...and then they put the cuffs on him...all w/o benefit of a search warrant...and when he complains, Taz him...

(Nothing ‘personal’ in these comments you all understand.../s)

Time for you to take off the blinders, erlay...Maher seems to have gotten a glimmer of the truth in this incident, what about you?

At least I can take comfort that this is happening mostly to the same retards who elected the liberal overlords. Reap what you sew folks! When you are ready, vote for common sense, if you can vote when it comes to that.

“Every man in that house should have armed with a rifle to protect their family.”

Rifles would have been of very little use against the gestapo in Boston. They were very heavily armored against such tactics. A flamethrower on the other hand...

Reading comprehension is your friend.

A local radio host in New Orleans said that if a terrorist was loose here, we would sit on our porches with our guns and hope he showed up.

Might try adding an /s. If that was sarcasm it was very close to what is the “new normal” on FR

It’s not sarcasm.

Try reading the third sentence again.

If you still don’t understand, get a 6th grader to explain it to you.

Don’t worry Bill. They’re *your* police. You only have to worry when they are *ours,* which will eventually happen.

Maher almost (but not quite) makes the connection: If you build a force like that when you are in power, that force will be used against you when you are not. That’s why it’s in everybody’s best interest to keep government from getting that power, but the Rats have completely forgotten about this principle. As reward for forgetting, they will be the first against the wall.

No, he is just shocked that he and the liberals expectations are greater than what they actually hoped would happened.

I was actually refering to the ability to defend your home against the muzzie terrorist, not the cops.

If the cops come banging on the door, you should have the option to ask them for a warrant to enter your home. Even if they are looking for the terrorist.

Problem is, they’ve created a society up there in Boston of a bunch of sheep with no way to defend their families in times of emergency.
