Yet more uniformed thuggery, this time in Houston.

Man gives change to homeless person, is handcuffed and held by police for an hour

Snider agreed to let police search his cars for drugs, and they did so for an hour while Greg remained handcuffed. In that time, ten more police cars showed up and pulled over. The search was not fruitful – no drugs were found in the car. That is, because, as previously mentioned, Snider didn’t have any drugs to give. Snider was not happy about the damage police did to his car, or that the police were actually laughing about the mistake.

It would be too easy to write all this off as the result of police agencies lowering their applicant standards several years ago. I believe it is an evil, trickling down from a corrupt government, showing no respect for the rule of law. The Republic is becoming a jungle. No one is exempt from being a victim, due to the fact these acts by neo-nazi scum, have even hit rural areas. These stories use to appear about a couple times a month. Now, they are daily fare. This will NOT end well. Lexington 2, cannot be far off. Slavery to sadistic assholes is the alternative.; January 21, 2014 at 6:22 AM

For many generations now, these "conservatives" have claimed how righteous the drug war is. And more people experience this thuggery every day.

"Conservatives" ought to get back to conserving LIBERTY.; January 21, 2014 at 7:44 AM

Anonymous said...: Harry, you stopped short.
"What crime am I being accused of committing?"
"Are you accusing me of committing a crime?"
"Do you suspect me of committing a crime? If yes, what crime and what is the basis for your suspicion?"

"Oh you won't answer these questions directly? Ok. Call your supervisor. "

Meanwhile, ask all those questions over and over and roll your own video the entire time!

Terribly sad it is to know that most Americans think cops are empowered to order people around, not realizing the carefully worded "requests" aren't orders at all and can SHOULD be rejected as Harry points out!; January 21, 2014 at 12:44 PM
DC Wright said...: Anon at 0744, I believe you're correct. Oh, it's not SOLELY that, there are other factors, but virtually all with the same underlying attitudes by the boys and girls in blue. And it will not stop until they are forced to confront armed, invincible reality, in the form of We, the People!!

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
