Man tells cops he’s uploading video of them, gets arrested

The arrest of a man who videoed police officers violently serving an arrest warrant across the street from his home indicates Americans no longer are masters of their own country, contends a leading constitutional lawyer.

“In fact, you’re not even the servant – you’re the slave,” said John Whitehead, president of the Rutherford Institute.

Rutherford is representing Gresham, Oregon, resident Fred Marlow, 27, who is facing charges and fines of up to $5,000 after his Sept. 2 arrest.

“Clearly, when police officers cease to look and act like civil servants or peace officers but instead look and act like soldiers occupying a hostile territory, it alters their perception of ‘we the people.’ However, those who founded this country believed that we were the masters and that those whose salaries we pay with our hard-earned tax dollars are our servants,” Whitehead said.

“If daring to question, challenge or even hesitate when a cop issues an order can get you charged with resisting arrest or disorderly conduct, you’re not the master in a master-servant relationship. If fact, you’re not even the servant,” he said.

just look at all the cops hanging from the murder machines from the DHS. just a few good men banding together with sniper rifles and they would be having a very bad day. I believe this is where we are headed anyway . the police have become agents for the Obama administration and the dopes dont even know it. they will and are pushing the American people to do something they will all regret, hey, if this what they want, then it will come down on them like a ton of bricks. and by the way, guns are needed to take these idiots out. just a couple of good night ninjas and they will take out the entire police department. be careful what you schmucks ask for because it will become your nightmare.
