I wish this writer had his facts straight. Mr. Garner was not killed by a police officer. He was not killed by a so-called choke hold. The first time he said “I can’t breath,” the officer let go. Within 10 minutes, he was still breathing, still talking, and put in an ambulance. He died of an heart attack on the way to the hospital.
When people repeat a lie often enough.....
I think I am going to be pasting this in a lot of threads today.

When everything’s a crime, police have probable cause everywhere all the time.
Now stop resisting.
Let me get this straight. If I were to violently resist arrest for not paying income tax, a socialist tool if there ever was one, I can shift the blame to the cops by criticizing the tax?
No, you shift blame to the people who enacted the law. Any time you make something illegal, or legally obligatory, your law is backed up by a guy with a badge and a gun and the very real threat of violence if you resist.
Some things are worth committing violence over. Some are not, but our lawmakers and the people who vote for them seem to have lost track of this distinction.
There are a few FReepers that have openly stated that smokers SHOULD be put to death. The war on tobacco has been succesfully won and many will never see beyond the word tobacco in order to understand the underlying point of the article.
“There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers — and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system.”

The broken glass theory where cops keep order by enforcing the lowest type crime to keep higher crime in check worked. That is until politicans put the glass on the sidewalk where you have a good chance of it breaking when you walk down the street.
Too many laws of nonsense. Someone(s) should run on the promise of repealing Federal 3,000 laws in his first term.
