Violence and Language Warning.
A series of civilian deaths at the hands of police in the past year has become a touchstone for trouble race relations in the United States, most notably in Ferguson, Missouri, when an unarmed teen-ager was shot and killed by a police officer, triggering weeks of protests and some rioting. A grand jury cleared the officer of wrongdoing.
The homeless man in the video was declared dead at a hospital shortly after the shooting, the Times reported, citing police spokesman Sgt. Barry Montgomery. Police could not be reached by Reuters to confirm the report.
Over the last three years, my position regarding the conduct of law enforcement officers has shifted drastically. I once believed that – outside of cesspools of corruption such as NYC, Chicago, and Los Angeles – LEO were generally respectable and trustworthy. Sadly, the overwhelming proof is before us that, regardless of what jurisdiction you reside in, the majority of LEO are corrupt, violent, and self-serving, and becoming more so with every month which passes.
What many LEO now do on a daily basis merits the firmest of retribution, and I do not expect it will be long before we see such consequences begin to manifest themselves. I am not advocating violence again sworn officers here, but am making a salient observation of the reality attendant to their escalating misconduct.
What this will do to society is plain in it’s consequences – retributive acts against LEO will only “justify” an increase in the level of violent and murderous conduct against the citizens they are sworn to protect and serve, creating a death spiral which will ultimately render a de-facto state of martial law upon our communities, whether it is declared to be such by “government” or not.
Violence and abuse under color of law is still criminal. Murder under color of law is still murder. And when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce the people under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such “law enforcement agencies”, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
There is already need and good cause to reinstate the mechanisms of our past – vigilance committees and Common Law peoples’ courts – to render Justice against felons who abuse our communities, whether they wear a badge, or not.
WE HAVE BEEN WARNED
I am going to watch it again and count how may times ” motherfucker” was used !
Which should not be overlooked. The culture in California is a warning to all of us.
Comply or die?
