Cops. Need I say more. The boots of tyranny stomping to a private affair near you. An institution which harbors some of the most violent, unconscionable, deceitful, and corrupt men walking the planet. When there is not enough war for such men to find a home to commit atrocities, States and municipalities afford them safe refuge where they can work their inhumanity upon the waking populace.

When did cops become so cowardly and pathetic?

With all the infor­ma­tion about how police rou­tinely abuse and even kill peo­ple with lit­tle con­se­quence, there are many who will still pref­ace any com­ments with, “I’m not anti-cop,…” Well, some­one has to say it, and I am anti-cop. The media bom­bards us with head­lines about law enforce­ment band­ing together with assault weapons and vehi­cle searches when “one of their own” is assaulted or killed, like they stand apart from the rest of soci­ety. Truth be told, they do stand apart. Read on… →

We Entertain the Question: Are Police Constitutional?

Police work is often lion­ized by jurists and schol­ars who claim to employ “tex­tu­al­ist” and “orig­i­nal­ist” meth­ods of con­sti­tu­tional inter­pre­ta­tion. Yet pro­fes­sional police were unknown to the United States in 1789, and first appeared in Amer­ica almost a half-century after the Constitution’s rat­i­fi­ca­tion. The Framers con­tem­plated law enforce­ment as the duty of mostly pri­vate cit­i­zens, along with a few con­sta­bles and sher­iffs who could be called upon when nec­es­sary. This arti­cle mar­shals exten­sive his­tor­i­cal and legal evi­dence to show that mod­ern polic­ing is in many ways incon­sis­tent with the orig­i­nal intent of America’s found­ing doc­u­ments. The author argues that the growth of mod­ern polic­ing has sub­stan­tially empow­ered the state in a way the Framers would regard as abhor­rent to their fore­most prin­ci­ples. Read on… →

Commentary on St. Louis Police Brutality

At the risk of sound­ing cacoph­o­nous, I’d posit the major­ity of police pos­sess a sense of enti­tle­ment and dis­dain towards the gen­eral pop­u­la­tion. They deal with many of the lower classes and through repet­i­tive expo­sure come to view most every­one with con­tempt. Read on… →

The police and their ilk post­ing at Glock Talk here http://glocktalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1244952 dis­play a cal­lous and dan­ger­ous dis­re­spect for indi­vid­u­als who merely refuse to com­ply with the state. Their posts are in response to my arrest last Feb. ’09 where I was beaten and Tasered. These men are not objec­tive; theyit gets bet­ter. Read on… →

It was not many years ago when I con­sid­ered myself a sup­porter of “law enforce­ment.” (I made dona­tions, had the F.O.P. and Sheriff’s depart­ment stick­ers and every­thing.) Cops were, I believed, the good guys, pro­tect­ing the inno­cent and impos­ing jus­tice upon evil­do­ers. Oh sure, I knew there was cor­rup­tion hereit gets bet­ter. Read on… →
