Well said.
Nice rant bump! Even my sweet hubby and I had a mini argument over this crap last night. My only point last night and this morning is a concern for our rights enshrined in our constitution and the actions of the LAPD over the last week i.e. shooting at civilians in cars and burning down private property in an act more of revenge than the rule of law.
The scanner traffic regarding the orders to ‘burn’ was not meant for the public.
Anyone care to guess when they are going to outlaw scanners, such as they are (I believe) in some jurisdictions?
