Living in a Police State

Case in point, the (black) school teacher who was tased and pepper sprayed by (white) police officers.

You see, she called in a complaint of a prowler around her house, and while waiting for the police to show up, called in a friend to stay with her for safety.

The police showed up, and promptly went jack booted thug on her because she did not want to give the name of her friend, so they handcuffed her, and then tased and pepper sprayed her.

It was so bad that the chief of police, who showed up at the end of this little drama, has publicly stated that he, "suspects the outcome would have been different if the woman had been white and the officers black."

What is at the crux of this, is the belief, widely held in this country and universally held in the law enforcement community, that any order given whether justified or legal, must be obeyed.

That is, by definition a government by and for police, and hence a police state.

Unfortunately, no one has won political office by defending the rights of the citizen against bad cops.
