This is crazy. He’s exactly right that she has no business being a police officer, and I’m so glad he refused to be fingerprinted.
Abolish the Detroit PD
A high speed chase led to the death of two kids and the injury of others.
Of course, police are unbiblical and unconstitutional. I’d be willing to bet the cops were chasing a car for doing something that isn’t even a violation of God’s law–just the arbitrary laws of men.

McDurmon on Datpostmil
Whoa! This was a great episode. I learned a lot and was reminded of a lot that I learned from Restoring America One County at a Time.
1. We must behave consistently with our beliefs. If we are opposed to socialism, do we send our kids to public school or receive government assistance?
2. Getting our country back is going to take generations. It wasn’t lost with one election. It won’t be won back with one election. Let’s start now.

I’m going to listen to it again.
Fascist Ohio
It’s hard to even pretend anymore that this is a free country. The fascists are in control of Bowling Green, Ohio.
If this was a free market, you wouldn’t need to talk to any government loser to see if you can give taxi rides. You would just do it. You wouldn’t need permits. You wouldn’t need to pay any fees. You’d be free to advertise and start giving rides.
What would happen if they just disobeyed? They could just start giving rides without government permission. I don’t know exactly what would happen, but it would involve armed police officers threatening you with violence or actually carrying out the violence. These “peace” officers for the most part probably claim to be Christian, and some of them may not be Christian just because they like Christmas, but because they have actually been born again.
Those Christian cops care more about man’s law than God’s law, and their church actually thinks they’re doing an admirable job. All of the evils in our land take place with the permission of the Christians, because we have abandoned God’s law or a surface-level interpretation of Romans 13.
Churches need to go back to God’s law, and start teaching it to people. Then, when a Christian officer enforces a preposterous law, he can be placed under church discipline.
Of course, police would be largely scaled back under God’s law and hopefully abolished. There were no police in early America or in ancient Israel.
The Confederate Battle Flag Hullabaloo
After the racist nutjob killed 9 black people in South Carolina, people have been calling for South Carolina to take down the Confederate battle flag from the state capital grounds.
I don’t know what to think. I’m from Colorado. No one flies a Confederate flag here. Black people probably make up less than 1% of the population, so I don’t really know what they think, but I could see how they would dislike it.
I think the Civil War was an atrocious, wicked act committed by the Northern states. Every Southern soldier that died was murdered. (The North wasn’t fighting to free slaves, but to force the rebels back into line.) The Southern states should have been allowed to secede peacefully. Nevertheless, slavery did play a part in why they seceded and it was a part of their plans going forward.
Joel McDurmon points out that it’s hypocritical for South Carolinians to be showing rebel pride while being bought off by federal money. A third of the state budget is made up of federal money.
If the Confederate flag stands for racism and slavery, why doesn’t the American flag stand for millions of aborted babies, a police state, civil asset forfeiture, confiscatory taxes, socialism/fascism and gay marriage? I don’t think it’s OK to fly the American flag.
I’m considering flying a flag at my house that might provoke some conversation and thought. I looked into some of the Revolutionary War flags, and there are some interesting ones, but the meanings aren’t well-known.
The Confederate flag would be provocative and well-known, but I certainly wouldn’t want to be associated with racism and slavery.
So, I don’t have any good ideas and no flag flies at my house.
A Facebook acquaintance covertly rearranged the flags at a church in a town he was passing through. I think this at least makes a good statement.
Amazing Article
This is a big deal. Here is a 29 page article. I suppose you might call it a booklet at that length. It is shocking what we have come to tolerate and how much things have changed since 1776. Every American ought to read this. I’m going to do whatever I can to get this into people’s hands.
The police are unconstitutional and bear a striking resemblance to the redcoats who occupied colonial America and prompted the colonists to declare their independence.
After we kicked the British out, the idea of an army of more than 700,000 people driving around looking for crimes and harassing people to generate revenue would have been anathema to the founders.
Here are a few important points about police from the late 1700s America.
1. There were no police. The word “police” didn’t even have the same meaning as today.
2. Private citizens executed search and arrest warrants.
3. Grand juries (of private citizens) investigated crimes and determined whether someone should be put on trial.
4. Most crimes that are solved today are solved because the victim could identify the perpetrator, or the perpetrator left evidence at the scene. If neither of those things happen, the crime is likely to go unsolved by police. Therefore, having police isn’t a great advantage.
5. Constables and sheriffs existed at the time, but they were held to the same standard of conduct as everyone else. Constables were volunteer positions.
6. No one could be arrested without a warrant, unless they were caught in the midst of a felony.
7. Felonies were death penalty crimes.
8. If anyone tried to arrest someone without a proper arrest warrant, they were free to resist arrest. Bystanders could help them resist arrest by whatever means necessary. At one point, the US Supreme Court ruled that it was permissible to shoot a policeman who attempted to arrest someone without a proper warrant or without good cause.
9. Private citizens were expected to help enforce the law.
10. The state was rarely named as a party in even criminal cases. Oftentimes the victim was the prosecutor in the trial.
11. “At the time of de Tocqueville’s observations (in the 1830s), “the means available to the authorities for the discovery of crimes and arrest of criminals [were] few,”47 yet Tocqueville doubted “whether in any other country crime so seldom escapes punishment.”48Citizens handled most crimes informally, forming committees to catch criminals and hand them over to the courts.49 Private mobs in early America dealt with larger threats to public safety and welfare, such as houses of ill fame.50 Nothing struck a European traveler in America, wrote Tocqueville, more than the absence of government in the streets.51
12. Police now have special laws protecting them from civil and criminal liability. They are a class of people who receive special treatment under the law.
13. It is largely forgotten that the war for American independence was initiated in large part by the British Crown’s practice of using troops to police civilians in Boston and other cities.244 Professional soldiers used in the same ways as modern police were among the primary grievances enunciated by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence. (“[George III] has kept among us standing armies”; “He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power”; “protecting them, by a mock trial….”).245 The duties of such troops were in no way military but involved the keeping of order and the suppression of crime (especially customs and tax violations).
14. If pressed, modern police defenders would have difficulty demonstrating a single material difference between the standing armies the Founders saw as so abhorrent and America’s modern police forces.
15. “Under the Founders’ Model, a private person like Josiah Butler, who lost twenty pounds of good pork under suspicious circumstances in 1787, could approach a justice of the peace and obtain a warrant to search the property of the suspected thief for the lost meat.314 Private individuals applied for many or most of the warrants in the Founders’ era and even conducted many of the arrests.
16. As opposed to the high standard for warrants in the past, police can now find cause to stop pretty much anyone they want. And by using drug-sniffing dogs, they can cause the dog to alert and they can search any car they want without a warrant. A dog can be trained to alert on command, or they can simply say the dog alerted whether true or not.
17. It is in the best interest of police that the citizens have as few rights as possible. At the time of the Supreme Court decisions of Miranda and Mapp, the Garland, TX police chief was so upset by the limits placed on his power that he said, “We might as well close up shop.”
Of course, I’ve caught flack for saying the police should be abolished. I realize it’s a minority position, but only due to a lack of historical knowledge, which I have also suffered from. It turns out, I hold the traditional position of America and the founding fathers while people who defend the police are defending something that would shock the founding fathers.
I didn’t want to sit in front of my computer and read the long article, so what I did is copy and paste it from the webpage to a Word document. Then, I saved it as a PDF and I was able to read it on my old Kindle. When I pasted it into the document, it was 70 pages, and I read to page 30 and discovered the rest was footnotes, so this is a very well documented article.
I hope my points inspire you to read the article as it is very much worth the time.
Police Are Unconsitutitional
Bojidar Marinov said:
Well, first of all, I would recommend that police doesn’t exist. Neither the Bible, nor the Constitution allow for the existence of a standing army of executive privilege to harass civilians. Warrant-less arrests must be abolished – except in the case of preventing a crime – and constitutional order restored, where only a court order or verdict can legalize arrests. The very concept of the right of police of arresting people on executive decision by the cops themselves is immoral, and is also against the Constitutional order envisioned by the Founding Fathers. It is a typical totalitarian measure. The US didn’t have police until corrupt Democrat politicians created it, and before America had police, “hardly a crime was left unsolved or unpunished” (de Tocqueville).
Second, there are enough methods for THREE persons to detain ONE person without inflicting pain. Police, though, is specifically trained to inflict pain – first, because it satisfies their sadistic impulses, and second, because it is a religious statement of domination. Police was specifically created to establish a totalitarian domination over the population.
Third, most of the “crimes” today are actually violations of some illegal and unconstitutional government policy. Until the War Between the States, the government was never a party in court cases. There was no government policy to enforce, and people were free. Police came with the big government, and remains exclusively an instrument of big government. The safety and security of the people has been and can be maintained without police.
Brave Dog-Killing Cops
KWES NewsWest 9 / Midland, Odessa, Big Spring, TX: newswest9.com |
A Facebook friend pointed out that the redcoats occupy every American city, but no one is man enough to care.
Don’t let the cops into your house. Make them get a warrant. Set up every little roadblock possible to make it more time and money consuming for them to do their job.
Fight your traffic tickets. Help clog up the revenue generation scheme. Some cities don’t even bother with a prosecuting attorney and just take the easy cases where people mail in a check. Some cities fund their entire police department on their traffic tickets.
Abilish the police!
More Stupid Cops
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdPbLkkYnfU
At 2:20, Murray says that you don’t have 5th Amendment protection when you’re not under arrest. Is he that stupid, or is he lying? I bet he really is that stupid.
Also, you don’t have to turn over your keys. That would be covered by the 4th Amendment.
Abolish the police!
Meet Officer Nutjob
1. Police can’t order people to leave a public sidewalk. No one is obligated to obey such an order.
2. I would guess the girl that got body slammed said something stupid. Police can’t body slam people for saying stupid things.
3. According to God’s law, the first person to draw a gun or a deadly weapon can be killed in self-defense (Numbers 35:16-21, Exodus 22:2-3). Cops don’t have special rights. Bystanders or other cops would be free of guilt in God’s eyes for killing the cop who drew his gun.
4. Abolish the police!
This video is 8 minutes, but you can just watch from 2:30-3:30 or so. And be sure to watch the first 10 seconds of Officer Nutjob doing the TJ Hooker roll.
