FBI interrogated man after comment about American “Police State” on Facebook
Patriots for America ^ | 8/27/13 | Tish

HUMBOLDT, AZ — A man says that within hours of making an impassioned post on Facebook, he was being interrogated by police and the FBI.

Blaine Cooper, 33, contacted policestateusa.com with a concerning story about how his sentiments posted on Facebook had drawn the attention of the federal government. He showed me the comment and told me that within 24-hours of posting it, he was being contacted by the police and FBI.

His colorful comment was in reference to what he believes is an “American Police State,” in which the power of the federal government is growing in a direction which may one day lead people to fight back.

Cooper, who is training to be a wild land fire fighter, said that on August 23, he was contacted by Officer Jason Kuafman of the Prescott Valley Police Department and was told that he needed to come to the police station for an interview with the FBI.

He complied with the request for an interview, which lasted 45 minutes with federal agents present. He was released after apparently being determined to not be a threat.

“They had every Facebook post I had ever made in a huge file, along with all my wife’s information, and parent’s information,” Cooper told policestateusa.com.

Cooper said that he was told that without “defusing the situation” by complying with the interview, his house might have been raided.

“The FBI made mention they came to question me so they didn’t have to kick in my door,” Cooper told policestateusa.com.

I can’t believe how fast this loss of freedom has occurred. However, I prefer this to having a RINO like McLame or Mittens in office who would have only slowed down the decline, but continued on the same course.

OK after reading the guy’s post I am understanding how it triggered the visit but if I were one of the boys knocking on that guys door I sure would be feeling pretty silly...

They managed all that with this guy, and had absolute bupkis on the Boston Bombers....It's obvious that they are targeting people and that they are targeting the *wrong* people.

I think that the illegal use of apostrophes must have had some role in triggering the investigation:

You realize that if he tells you, you become a co-conspirator?

Judging by the apostrophe’s, he must be a FReeper.
