Jack Booted Thug alert...This is becoming more and more typical of today’s cops in America.
Why are the politicians not taking issue of this increasing phenomenon? The entertainment industry is also to blame.
Because all professional politicians want to grow the government. It's the business they're in. They've been growing it at twice the rate of the total economy, an expansion rate any private business would envy. Government is the most efficient wealth destroying mechanism ever invented so the expansion is inflating an unsustainable bubble that will collapse at some point. There will be a period when politicians will attempt to sustain their bubble business at all cost. History shows that means a militarized police state. We are seeing the start of that desperate period.
The best way to intimidate a captive population is not kill them, but kill their children. Dogs are the only family members Fedzilla can freely kill with no repercussions. The government hates dogs because they give citizens advance warning of approaching government workers.
Because "law and order" has traditionally been a winning campaign theme, particularly at the local level and particularly among Republicans.
