Some would say that it beats being shot.
I also recall the days when the "libs" were chanting things like "Better Red than dead".
It looks like the extended campaign to line us up for the slaughter with little resistance is paying off - many who think they're conservative and who believe in the Constitution seem to think that certain cases or personal desires make it OK to throw Freedom under the bus.
Right you are! Time was, we could go to our politicians with this problem of aggressive police and they would attend to it, from the top down. Now they only listen to the money-belching lobby critters.
Those are Law and Order (LAO) conservatives, and they don’t need no stinkin Constitution. They believe the police are above the law—even divine law. They have started a new group:
Law
And
Police
Defense
Over
God
AKA LAPDOGs. Their motto:
Security Super Libertatis
(Security Over Liberty)
