Thanks HC
I am so discouraged ... between the patriot's act, gun seizure laws, corruption from the top to the bottom ... I fear it is all but over. Our Constitution is in tatters.
I, too, am very discouraged. The immediate prognosis does not look very good for our Constitution and our precious freedoms. When law enforcement officers break the law, violate due process, and abuse weapons the kind of which ordinary citizens are denied, then this sounds to me like more symtoms of a police state - especially if the perpetrator and his superiors get away with this.
I have several friends and family in law enforcement who are about to get another earfull from me and my colleagues regarding this. And this coming from a pro-law and order conservative such as I am.
