Fascism: Police harass an armed citizen who is keeping them accountable with a video camera.
The following video is more proof that Fascism has infiltrated yet another Police Dept. in the United States. Watch as the Police here take a “Guilty until proven Innocent” approach with a citizen who video tapes his girlfriend’s traffic stop while wearing a sidearm. Assuming that they have been properly trained, they repeatedly & knowingly LIE to him about the law, & continue to insist that he prove that he’s not a felon. Watch also as the officer insists that HIS safety was being violated, by the mere presence of a firearm that is not in POLICE HANDS. I would submit here that there is not much more scary than Police officers who think they are the only ones that should be allowed to have a firearm to protect themselves in public. Doesn’t that make them like Roman soldiers, & the citizenry more akin to “subjects” under the Imperial Roman Rule from 31 BC – AD 476?
YouTube is loaded with thousands of examples of video evidence with case after case of Fascist Police action on U.S. soil. While I can certainly understand that Police are uncomfortable being video taped, their notion that they have more civil rights than a citizen walking down the street with a video camera is more akin to Nazi Germany than it is to the America our Founding Fathers envisioned.. If they are uncomfortable with guns, perhaps being a Police officer is a bad idea, since our laws dictate that we have a right to carry a firearm, or even several if we so choose. The Constitutional Rights of United States citizens are not to be negotiated by Police officers on a sidewalk. It is their duty to uphold the law as written, & not to make it up as they see fit for their personal comfort. If you see behavior like that which is seen on the video below, know that you do NOT have to tolerate it, & you should report it. When Police lie to the citizens, they violate our trust, & when trust is violated, Police encounters can become dangerous to both Police & citizen. Police have a right to PROTECT themselves from physical harm, but not to protect their egos, or to protect themselves from being “afraid” at the cost of a citizens civil rights. Again I will say, if you are too afraid to be around guns as a Police officer, then go to England & be an unarmed Bobby standing under 30 or so surveillance cameras on every street corner! Fearful people do not belong in that job.. Period.. Fearful people will do anything for self preservation, even violate the rights of others..
For those of you who will say that “It’s easy for you to say, you’re not around strangers with guns.” You would be wrong.. I don’t know more than half of the people I encounter in the State Park in Tennessee wearing a sidearm, or walking down the street, or those that I go to a shooting range with. I rely on the kind of faith in my fellow citizens that made this nation great, & on God to protect me.. Ronald Reagan once wisely said to “Trust, but Verify”.
Do I glance over once in a while to make sure that they aren’t doing anything dangerous or provocative with their firearm? Of course, just like I do when I’m driving down the road with other people driving 2+ ton weapons.. The day only Police have guns, is they day that they will begin to turn into completely fascist criminals, because absolute Power corrupts absolutely!
Lastly: Notice that the officers never put their hands on their weapons… If this wasn’t an “EGO STOP”, & if they were truly in fear for their safety, why would they not have a hand on the grip of their firearms?
NO MIRANDA Rights for U.S. Citizens? For the Love of God, who in their right mind says this?
I was taking a break from Politics for a while, so that I might be able to have a life with my friends & family, but THIS.. THIS WOKE ME FROM my slumber!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., said on “Fox News Sunday” that determining how to deal with Miranda rights is essential as the country faces “more and more homegrown terrorists — yes, American citizens.”
Eric Holder (from the administration that suggests returning veterans, people who don’t agree with abortion, own guns, or don’t care for the Federal Government are likely terrorists) is suggesting that we do away with Miranda Rights, The Fifth Amendment, & the Right to remain silent! That is the chorus coming from the far lefties in the Obama admin. You may remember being insulted by the Department of Homeland Security about this time last year with their report on “Right Wing Extremists”, that basically included anyone & everyone who opposes a tyrannical government. See here: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/04/15/chorus-protest-grows-report-warning-right-wing-radicalization/
Perhaps even more frightening, is that some insane Republicans are agreeing with this! It’s COMPLETELY UNCONSTITUTIONAL & DANGEROUS TO LIBERTY! THIS IS PERHAPS THE MOST BRAZEN ATTACK ON YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS TO EVER BE INITIATED IN THE UNITED STATES. We MUST act now by writing to your representatives, as well as ensuring that anyone who proposes trashing the constitutional rights of Americans, is immediately removed from office.. Here is the full story, with all of the completely & incredibly insulting statements from the tyrannical madmen who are trying to trash your civil rights, & the U.S. Constitution under the guise of trying to keep everyone “safe”. This is an old trick.. Hitler used it also! See here:

So what could NO Right to remain silent mean? Think about this.. How will they FORCE someone to talk? Torture? Weeks in solitary confinement with no lawyer, no representation? Who will be deciding who is a potential terrorist? Janet Napolitano? Who’s agency suggested that several groups of law abiding citizens, including returning war veterans be suspected as potential terrorists?
This idiocy MUST NOT go forward one more step, & it is imperative that you contact your Representatives in Congress regarding this immediately!
