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.

They say, if you have noth­ing to hide you have noth­ing to fear. Well, I have every­thing to hide, but still am not afraid. The fact is, they are here, and they have the means to invade our lives. So, let’s lay it on the table. I’ll save the tax­pay­ers a bit of coin and tell the NSA what they will prob­a­bly find out any­way. I won’t bother encrypt­ing, encod­ing, obfus­cat­ing, or hid­ing what I have to say. The United States Gov­ern­ment is an out-of-control, impe­ri­al­is­tic, total­i­tar­ian, exploita­tive, ter­ror­is­tic Leviathan.

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.

Day­ton police “mis­took” a men­tally hand­i­capped teenager’s speech imped­i­ment for “dis­re­spect,” so they Tasered, pepper-sprayed and beat him and called for backup from “upward of 20 police offi­cers” after the boy rode his bicy­cle home to ask his mother for help, the boy’s mom says.

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.

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; they are vio­lent, they are anti-social, […]

By Claire Wolfe The most remark­able thing about civil unrest is that there hasn’t been more of it. Politi­cians are mak­ing a hash of this country—and much of the rest of the civ­i­lized world. We know it. They know it. They know we know it. But we don’t feel we can do any­thing much to […]

Cops: Public Servants or Fascist Pigs? (Part 1)

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 here and there, and scat­tered examples […]

Good stuff from a law pro­fes­sor, as well as a follow-up con­fir­ma­tion from a police offi­cer. Basi­cally, keep your mouth shut. The truth is irrel­e­vant. The facts are sub­jec­tive. Your lib­erty is up for grabs. Bottom-line, you can­not trust the police so why waste your breath? Follow-up by George Bruch — from the horses mouth. […]
