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?
Clarification on prior Post about Police Drones..
While looking back over some of my prior posts this year, it came to my attention that I worded my post about “Police Drones” being used against citizens rather poorly, & in a way that “could” be misconstrued by some as promoting “sabotage.” I mentioned that the unconsitutional use of these drones on citzens could cause the sales of Sniper Rifles to go up, & joked that “what goes up, must come down..”
I want to clearify that I DO NOT condone offensive actions toward Police, either Federal or Local, or their equipment. The point I was trying to make, is that if you threaten the civil rights of citizens, & without due process, or without giving them a fair chance to voice opposition, SOME individuals for a myriad of reasons, may resort to taking things into their own hands. In the case I wrote about, police were hiding their actions from the citizenry according to the news source I got my information from. (See Video at Link Below.)
I believe that our history as well as that of other countries shows that where tyranny & lawless, arbitrary governing exists, so eventually do outbreaks of violence & serious civil disturbances. I was merely predicting that if he U.S. Consitituion continues to be violated, along with the civil rights of individuals in the United States, that there will be those who will crack under the oppression, & the results may be very dangerous EVERY CITIZEN in the United States. That is the main point of the post.
