One thing that has started is the serving of warrants with swat teams. These are people suspected of committing a crime. In some cases they might be justified in using swat teams for this, but it seems to bite them in the butt when they get it wrong. Wrong address etc.

If it is necessary to serve warrants with a SWAT team in a free republic, then we are no longer a free people in a free republic.

We are subjects living in a police state… but we deny that we are.

This gets to the crux of our national problem. Only a moral and religious people are capable of freedom.

If a larger segment of society no longer subjects themselves to being governed by morality from the biblical religions, then we become more corrupt and vicious - and we will have more need of masters to rule over us simply to keep order.

Liberty cannot live long in such a society. Mankind values the promise of safety and security over the idea of liberty and so it will appoint masters to rule over the people. Eventually - that always becomes despotic.

And here we are. A growing immoral society become corrupt and vicious and a people applauding the need for a militarized master.

This is how liberty dies….. and usually to thunderous applause.

60% of SWAT excursions are serving warrants. I’ll admit that figure was from the ACLU and it irritates me to use them as a source as we are rarely on the same side of an issue.
