This is why conservatives need to get off their butts and elect constitutional sheriff in their counties.
After Katrina, a county sheriff posted armed deputies at critical locations and refused to allow federal thugs inside his county.
Sheriffs have met armed federal thugs in their counties and chased them out. One sheriff told federal fascists that if they entered his county with armed SWAT he would mobilize his SWAT team and engage them. The federal pigs ran away.
With a constitutional sheriff you can:
1. Protect your neighborhood.
2. Buy surplus military equipment.
3. Investigate, arrest and imprison leftists in your comunity.
4. Muster a 2,000 man auxiliary deputy force for “emergencies.”
Now I know it’s difficult to stop remodeling the kitchen, turn off the barbecue grill and stop worshipping the false god mammon, but if you don’t get involved, you’ll lose everything you’ve worked for, including your children.
Well said.
“The routine use of SWAT teams to serve thousands and thousands of drug-search warrants has resulted in unnecessary tragedies and fueled fears of government run wild, military raids of homes in the middle of the night based more upon secret suspicions than evidence, and not infrequently causing casualties to the totally innocent,” Hoover Institution research fellow Joe McNamara tells me. The 17-year NYPD veteran and former police chief of Kansas City and San Jose adds: “The SWAT raids certainly haven’t won the drug war, but have caused ‘collateral damage’ and fears that impair the police’s ability to gain citizen trust and cooperation against serious and violent crime.”
I wonder how one of these local jack boots would feel if a group of federal jack boots invaded their home and forced him and his family to sit handcuffed on the floor for 6 hours. Plus shot the dog in front of the kids.
I know a guy who is very conservative who voted for Kerry because of Bush’s Patriot Act. He said he knew Kerry would be a lousy president but the Patriot Act was too far over the top.
This would explain the increase in LEOs and the decrease in peace officers.
They are deliberately working to weed peace officers out in the academy level, now.
BTTT!
Hmm, was this in Louisiana?
The war on drugs has been a complete failure.
“...the act of creating a police state will create its opposite as well,...”
So true. So sad. Government created SO much by its ignorant “planning.”
The SUV? Created by govt.
Lobbyists? Created by govt.
The list goes on...
The standing army our founders feared.
Thanks for the info!
Tragically, an increasing number of Americans still support the Patriot Act and its multiple infringements on our liberty.
Firemen have become paramedics 90-95% of the time. They rarely fight fires. That’s a job that can be 100% privatized and placed into the competitive market.
Why not police officers as well? Let them go back to being peace officers at the government level. If they’re going to be simple minded law enforcers then take away their sovereign immunity. Let them think about the consequences.
That’s the simplist way to get them back under control. If you can be sued to poverty and perhaps jailed for your actions you’ll be a little more level-headed.
Go find a cop that doesn’t use the gun or badge as absolute immunity from prosecution and I like cops.
Great idea. If the intervening years since 9/11 have shown us anything it’s that our enemies are for the most part impotent. 9/11 wasn’t the end of America.
End the TSA, demilitarize our police and federal agencies and go back to pre-9/11 laws and procedures. If the war in Iraq and Afghanistan is over then the war in America and against American liberties is too.

# 9 is interesting.
These people, they get away with such brutality and think they can run roughshod over everybody. Someday they're going to try this crap with somebody who has the proper training and skills and kill his dog and then they will find that there are other people in the world who can and will retaliate and they are to be feared for good reason.
Like Marcus Luttrell, the famed Navy SEAL. His dog was brutally killed for kicks by a couple of psycho hillbillies. He pursued them and was in contact with law enforcement the whole way who begged him not to kill them so they could make an arrest. But what do you think that SEAL would do if a cop killed his dog then bragged that there was nothing he (Luttrell) could do?
Thanks LucyT, great article and thread!
Hey, some of us are gettin’ better!
Shweeeet!
