People keep saying that bad cops are a fraction of a percent of police. But, I certainly have no trouble finding power-tripping cops. There are hundreds of examples of them on Youtube. I’ve been the victim of cops who are so incompetent that they’re not even familiar with the first amendment (or maybe they were just trying to bully me), threatening to arrest me while I was doing perfectly legal evangelism on a public street.

I realize bad encounters with cops are more likely to be uploaded and written about, while hundreds or thousands of non-confrontational encounters go unnoticed by the internet. Most people don’t know their rights. They do what the cops ask and thank the cop for their ticket, even though there was no victim in their crime. Most such traffic laws are unjust and arbitrary, and the cop is just generating revenue for the city. That is a dirty cop, and an un-Constitutional encounter, but it won’t end up on Youtube.

However, what is the standard for a good cop? What percentage of the time can a cop shred the Constitution and still be considered a good cop? Is it 1 in 1000? 1 in 100? 1 in 10? I mean 90% observance of the constitution would be an A in school, right? Does anyone really think that a cop doesn’t try to flout the Constitution in at least 1% of encounters? Any cop who intentionally ignores the Constitution ever in their entire career, once, is a bad cop in my book.

They swore to uphold the Constitution. To ignore the Constitution once is to break their oath. Cops make mistakes, and are often woefully ignorant of the law, but I’m not even talking about that. I’m only talking about intentionally trying to bully someone and ignoring their rights.

But when you think about it, it’s their job to get people to give up their rights. It is perfectly legal for them to lie or play tricks on people in order to get them to give up their rights. They try to get people talking without an attorney (i.e. give up their right to an attorney),  or consent to a search of their car or house without a warrant (i.e. give up their 4th Amendment right). Their job is to get information to present to the judge and jury that will result in a conviction.

Does anyone really believe that by my standard, most cops are good cops? If my standard is wrong, what is the standard?

What about the biblical standard? God doesn’t care about the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence, or the Colorado Revised Statutes. He only cares about His law. He is God after all.

By God’s standard, there are no good cops. Abortionists rest easy at night knowing there are no good cops. Cops don’t make laws, they just enforce the laws. That is the problem, and that’s what makes them all bad. They check their conscience at the door and go out to enforce the unjust laws of a pagan nation by force–with a deadly weapon on their hip and favored status under the law.

When the Nazis were put on trial for their evil acts, their excuse was that they were just following orders. If your job requires you to obey evil orders, or doesn’t allow you to act righteously, you should QUIT YOUR JOB. You belong to an evil profession, and by remaining in it you are being evil.

Here’s a video of one of those “rare” bad apples. Quite the power trip she’s on. She thinks she can kick people off the sidewalk, as if it belongs to her. And sad to say it’s no surprise she doesn’t know the laws on recording, even though she’s a law enforcement officer.

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.

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!

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!

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!

There is little evidence of any wrongdoing on the part of the bikers. There is evidence of a police cover up, however. What if government snipers (cops) picked off mostly unarmed American citizens, without provocation?

It’s shocking and un-American. It’s murder. And no one seems to care, and everyone goes on thinking this is the freest country in the world.

Here’s someone who is doing something about it on the legal front:

Here’s another great article on it.

Abolish the police!

Posse Comitatus is the law that says the military can’t act as law enforcement on US soil. These guys were dressed like they were fighting house to house in Iraq. Just because the “peace” officers aren’t employed by the military doesn’t mean they’re not violating the law.

The Evansville PD was executing a search warrant, because someone posted threats to police on the internet.

But it turns out it was the wrong house.

ABOLISH THE POLICE!
