Skeptical Good. No problem with that.

Explain how this rises to the level of Ruby Ridge and Waco. I have a visceral reaction to what the Klinton/Reno/Alfright did to this country, and I have a big problem with the militarization of law enforcement and metaphorical wars on US citizens by the government.

How does that translate to this stop or to labeling other FReepers?

I did not say this stop rose to any level, just that there is a reason normal conservative law abiding citizens are voicing their disgust.

It is like the straw that broke the camel's back, Years of abuse of authority and excessive force, lying and such have resulted in a powderkeg of contempt. I for one can now imagine how a minority person could grow up years ago and believe police lied and beat people, because now it is happening everywhere not just in the ghetto. With little or nothing being done to stop it, it appears that justice and fair treatment is a thing of the past and is continuing to go downhill.
