"I now believe that so-called patriots are just as untrustworthy as criminals and would like to kill me just as much as any other cop-hater."

Brother, you need to step back, take some deep breaths, and do some serious self-examination. If you feel that mass-handcuffing of bystanders is now just another useful LE tool, then you have crossed a dangerous red line into supporting tyrannical police-state tactics.

Millions of us "so-called patriots" actually do believe in defending the Constitution. Millions of us took oaths to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC.

Your sworn oath to defend the Constitution might be a joke to you, but let me promise you, it is not a joke to millions of us who also took the oath. And our oaths did not come with an expiration date.

You need to look in the mirror, and ask yourself some very serious questions.

Turning the water up on the frog in the pot, bit by bit. And conditioning LEOs to think of all the citizenry as bad guys.

Bravo, sir.

The guy is a mental midget. He believes he has the right to do as he pleases as long as it is in the name of “law enforcement”.

Remember this story? Seems about the same level of stupidity. January 2005.

"RURO, Mass., Jan. 7 - In an unusual last-ditch move to find clues to the three-year-old killing of a freelance fashion writer, police investigators are trying to get DNA samples from every man in this Cape Cod hamlet, all 790 or so, or as many as will agree."

Excellent post.

As far as I can tell from his post, he said no such thing and even endorsed oversight and critical monitoring.

On FR, there are plently of examples of absolute hate for ALL law enforcement officers. Post 49. . .short walk from spouting on the net and taking drastic action if pulled over for a reason the poster doesn’t agree with. . .like speeding or running a red light, or even driving drunk.

its useless Matt...i had an experience a couple weeks ago of a *dragnet* in a lil podunk city...

seems there have been a couple homicides, prolly drug related, and the po-po had a couple names that they thought were suspect...

under the guise of 'hiway safety checkpoint' rules, they were stopping everybody just to check the ID vs a list of names...

the players were city, county sheriffs, and state leos...

mr trooper had enuff attitiude to sink a battleship, and ole gilbo dang near got a lock up outta the deal...prolly wouldve if the Mrs hadnt been in the car behind me with the kids...

we are in 'redline' territory, and have been for a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time...

I read these comments and I suspect that the poster is just a disruptor of some sort, perhaps trolling for “inflammatory” comments. (On a more serious note, with each passing day, I see the reality of your EFAD trilogy playing out all over the land. If I never took the opportunity to tell you that you are the most prescient person that I've ever encountered, consider it said now!)
