I am going to stay here and resist the police state and try to get things closer to what they should be. The police are our servants, P-Marlowe.
Our government is out of control. The police state is part of the problem.
I care that the Rule of Law is being ignored by the Feds, the street bums and by media. How far we have fallen.
I don't know where you live, but the police never bother me.
As for your claim that cops are trigger happy, when I was growing up, they could shoot you in the back if you ran from them. That didn't change until 1985.
Now that the cops basically can't shoot anyone unless they are first shot at, it seems reasonable to me that they should be equipped with the best defensive gear possible and much of that gear looks like something the military would use, helmets, shields, body armor...
Just tell me, how many times in the last 5 years have you been hassled by the police or otherwise subjected to a violation of your Constitutional rights (not counting the TSA lines at the airport)?
BTW, when you say you are going to "resist the police state" does that mean you are supporting they lynch mob in Ferguson? Are you one of the "We are Michael Brown" crowd?
