In fact, it's intimidation, not respect.
And it isn't the job of our so-called
'law enforcement' agencies to intimidate
and suppress the public. Nor to administer
lethal force on a whim.
But it isn't a coincidence that America has
suffered such an extensive assault on our
freedoms, liberty, and lives by those in
law enforcement.
The ever-increasing violence against citizens
perpetrated by police has been sanctioned and
instructed by those in power. How else could
cops continue murdering innocent civilians in
broad daylight--on camera--and suffer no
repercussions whatsoever?
No, this was all preordained.
The Powers That Be can't operate in a free and
vocal society, where the public readily and eagerly
makes their voice heard and opposes the
wrong-doing of the powerful.
So rather than try and obviously subvert the
democratic republic, the shady behind-the-scenes
folks started pushing for cops to get even more
forceful. They let it be known that there would
be no oversight, no blow-back, no repercussions
for even the most blatant of civil rights
infractions. They sent a message to paid thugs that
they could be let off the leash (that had only been
symbolically holding them back, anyway.)
No questions, no investigations, no punishment.
No loss of standing, loss of job, loss of pension.
Just overreach the law, ignore common sense,
violate rights, become true Judge, Jury, and
Executioner. No more bullshitting with classes
on tolerance and diversity and being better cops.
No more anger control and keeping perspective:
It's the wild, wild west, and anything goes.
It's the wild, wild west, and anything goes.
Because if we fear leaving our homes, living
our lives, speaking our minds, being at a protest,
standing up for ourselves or others, or even
asking simple questions of our so-called protectors,
then we have achieved a police state, even though
one has not been officially declared.
