Well, when whole segments of our Republican base see if fine for LE agents to discharge their weapons and lie about, not file proper-required-full-AARs (because the perp wasn't a legal citizen ...after-the-fact) likely not too much longer (think Ramos and Compean)
This case above, appears to be on the surface, another great leap of our out of control LE agencies / Gov't on all levels.
Though rationally I understand its been a long process, but for the first time I viscerally see America descending from the exceptional place I was brought up believing it was into cold socialism.
What’s the point of this? They were selling food without a license? Or they were storing food which would make them self-reliant and not dependent on government handouts. Or both?
These “pure foods” laws are some of the oldest laws from the “Progressive Era” and have only become more and more entrenched legal tradition. It's going to be very difficult to fight back against the juggernaut of precedent originally established to “save us from impure foods.”
A poster on the anothread said that there are still laws on the books (executive orders) against “hoarding.” We have no idea what can be used against us. The mind boggles at what this country has become.
It raises the disturbing possibility that it could become a crime to raise your own food, buy eggs from the farmer down the road, or butcher your own chickens for family and friends – bustling activities that routinely take place in backwater America.
ESPEICALLY BECAUSE this is a last vestage against becoming a socialist slave (feudal) state!
W is still the Prez , in case you haven’t noticed. It would be nice to blame B.O. for this , but a bit of honesty is due here .
B.O. has nothing to do with this , as he hasn’t even been sworn in yet .....

You might ask Joe the Plumber that same question.
Your attempt at moral equivalence between this story and the Ramos and Campeon situation is ridiculous. You need to think more.
Seen this one?
I did not know those laws existed.
Is you screen name a reference to the Rush song The Working Man?
No, I’ve used this handle since IRC days. I work for a living and therefore I am The Working Man.
Kinda corny in a way but I’ve used it since the 80’s.
Apples and Oranges . Joe the Plumber became a focal point of the election. These other folks were not and are not on B.O.’s radar . This is bureaucracy run amok plain and simple . Like it or not , it’s happening under W’s watch .
I’m a bit skeptical of this story. I’m familiar with LaGrange PD, they are a samll dept. and they don’t have a SWAT team, they’d have to use the County team.
Also, I searched the local newspaper and couldn’t find anything on this story.
Anybody got any more info or links?

This is an even worse abuse of government officials of a private citizen...
Get ready for a police state unless we stand up to the bastards...
This is an awesome video
besides the liberals, don't believe in facts, truth &/ honesty.. 
Yup.......
Too many of these weird threads to keep up with today.
I still can’t get this out of my head, and I read it here an article from the Jerusalem times, Jo biden addressing top political democratic donors said Obama will be faced with a “generated crisis” and will need the support of community leaders to “control the population” because thier will be unpopular decisions that will have to be made. We have all read articles on abolishing guns, water shortages, free speech issues and now foodhording and possible shortages. Is this for real????? Hope for the best but we better be ready for the worst I dread.
