Abolish The Police!

I’m dead serious that the police should be abolished. I say this for five main reasons.

An Old West Posse
An Old West Posse – Citizen Justice

1. Ancient Israel was the freest country in the history of the world. Early America was a close second. Israel was operating under God’s law, and He didn’t institute a police force.

2. This country didn’t have a police force until the 1830s. The founding fathers didn’t see the need for police.

3. No one should have extra rights. The founding fathers  didn’t want anyone to be considered a special class of people who operated under different laws than everyone else.

4. The funding for police is taken from people by threat of force aka taxation. This is immoral. It is stealing.

5. Cops have become the biggest, most violent gang of thugs in the country. They have become highly militarized. And, they really are above the law. They don’t have to live up to the same standards as everyone else, and they take full advantage of that status.

However, this doesn’t mean that I’m just trusting people not to murder and steal. There still needs to be law enforcement. It’s just that it will be biblical, voluntary and private.

1. God’s Law Says There Will Be No Cops

I’m a theonomist (which means I’m a Christian who believes the civil laws of Israel ought to be the land of the law today). Ancient Israel did not have police. Their taxes were extremely low, and the extent of their government was a court system. When a crime was committed, the victim would charge the guilty party in the court system. The court would hold a trial and if there was a guilty verdict, the victim and witnesses would carry out the punishment, along with any of the available townspeople, if necessary. There were no cops going around looking for trouble.

2. No Police In America Until the 1830s

You have to check out the article referenced here. It is a great article about the unconstitutionality of police. I made it into a pdf and read it on my kindle. It came out to be about 30 pages of reading and 40 pages of footnotes. I can’t stress what a great article it is, and it’s free.

It is astonishing the freedoms we as Americans have given up. There were no cops but crimes were still punished, because they attempted to implement to the best of their ability a biblical society. Their system resembled that of ancient Israel. Why have we abandoned what they did? Why are the conservatives now the ones worshiping cops when they should be the most passionate about returning to how things were in this country originally? Because we’ve been duped. We’ve been educated by the government and we’re embarrassingly ignorant of our own history.

3. No one should have extra rights. In some places in history, the king and his representatives didn’t have to live by the same law as everyone else. This is something the founding fathers did not want. Over time, that is exactly what we’ve gotten with police.

The police have been placed under special laws so that they can do police work without getting sued every time they turn around; they bear no personal liability–their judgments are paid by the government under which they operate. I say if they can’t do their job without getting sued, then maybe their job isn’t realistic. They should be held to the same standard as everyone else, and if they do something stupid, they should be personally liable.

4. Police Are Funded By Theft

Most police are municipal cops. They are funded by city sales taxes, lodging taxes etc. What happens if a business doesn’t pay its tax? They will have a lien placed on their property or their bank accounts garnished. They are essentially forced to pay. Most people think it’s wrong to use violence or the threat of violence to get their way. But if it’s a government entity who is using violence to get their way, most people seem OK with it. I don’t get it.

Those who perpetrate this theft will stand before God and give an account. They won’t be able to point to their boss or their congressman or president. They will be guilty and naked before their Creator. That means the sweet old ladies at the county treasurer’s office or the deputies who carry out an eviction against people who haven’t paid their property taxes or ANYONE who works for the IRS are in trouble. I would be scared of God’s judgment if I even mowed the IRS’  grass.

5. Cops Are Abusing The American People

What might happen if there were no armed thugs to walk around making sure bad guys don’t steal purses. Well, it’s been attempted in big cities like New York and small cities. Pandemonium did not ensue. The Lord keeps us safe–not the government.

What should we do instead of forcing taxpayers to pay for the gang of thugs that oppresses them? Arrests should only be made when a court issues an arrest warrant. Anyone can make such an arrest including private bounty hunters. And anyone can arrest a person while committing a crime. All citizens and bounty hunters/private detectives would be held to the same standard. There would be no special class of people under the law. Before police existed in America, Alexis de Tocqueville said that virtually no crime went unpunished.

Might Makes Right?

From Bojidar Marinov

“It is for this reason that we see, in modern America, the growth of the police state. Since civil government in America has long lost whatever legitimacy it had under God, its has become a pagan state. Projection of raw power, then, becomes crucial to the maintenance and the legitimization of the authority of civil government. And not only just the projection of raw power, but the exercise of raw power in terrorizing the population is crucial: to destroy the rule of law, which is a testimony for the Gospel, a pagan government must replace it with rule of man, and that rule of man must be exercised against the Law, so that the mighty men may legitimize their authority. The claims that police needs all this excessive firepower to do their job are proven false by the fact that police is one of the safest jobs around; more police officers die of reckless driving than of assaults. The projection of power is needed because for a pagan state, it is the only means to legitimize authority.

It is for this reason the empires in the Bible are described as ravenous beasts who trample, crush, destroy, tear apart, devour their victims. It is not just uncontrollable, occasional impulse of some pagan states; violence and state terrorism against its own population becomes a religious necessity for the pagan state. So whenever you see cops in full military gear facing unarmed protesters, it is not self-protection; it is a religious statement. It is the modern Nimrod using his might to legitimize his right.”

Did George Washington Need Police?

From this article: It was not until the 1830s that the idea of a centralized municipal police department first emerged in the United States. In 1838, the city of Boston established the first American police force, followed by New York City in 1845, Albany, NY and Chicago in 1851, New Orleans and Cincinnati in 1853, Philadelphia in 1855, and Newark, NJ and Baltimore in 1857 (Harring 1983, Lundman 1980; Lynch 1984). By the 1880s all major U.S. cities had municipal police forces in place.

Maybe there is a better way to do things. Maybe we should abolish the police.

Bo on Abolishing the Police

Bojidar Marinov said, “It becomes clearer and clearer that police are an unnecessary, un-Biblical, and anti-Constitutional institution. We need to abolish it and replace it with court [summons] and armed citizenry. A standing army designed to oppress the citizenry – which is what police are – is an institution of tyranny.”

In response to a comment, he said, “We are just not used to the idea [of abolishing police forces]. This always reminds me of how people in Eastern Europe reacted to the legal changes after the fall of Communism: “What will happen if they remove government controls over prices? What will happen if all business is private and the private owner doesn’t want to hire people? What will happen when the government gets rid of its rental residential properties? What will happen if the land is returned to the owners? What will happen if everyone had a gun?”

The truth is, nothing dangerous will happen if we abolish police today. Our life will continue being the same as before – except that we won’t be extorted for made up “violations” and “crimes.”

The most obvious result will be the disappearance of government revenues. Look at NYC: The cops decided to withdraw from active policing, and the city went about its business with no problem – but then, it was the City government that was really concerned because there were no revenues!”

Cops Check Everywhere

Please take the time to teach your kids their constitutional rights. If you’re sending your kids to the state for their schooling, they aren’t going to teach them how to stand up to the state.  Teach them not to talk to the cops or consent to searches. These are guaranteed by the 4th and 5th amendments. Isn’t the most patriotic thing we could do is exercise our rights?

I’m going to keep the link to this video handy and send it to anyone who thinks you should cooperate with the cops. This guy consented to everything they wanted to do. He was a good slave and look what it got him.

At this point, the war on drugs is more destructive than the drugs themselves.

Great Article From Bo

Check it out here.

bm“If tomorrow the politicians in DC decide to ship you and your family to the concentration camps, which one of the following people is most likely to be the one loading you on the train?
1) a biker;

2) a DC politician;

3) a local cop.

The question is very important, and you should have an answer. A denial in the form of it-can’t-happen-here is not an answer. And your answer will show how much you understand reality.

And, the other question is: If you decide that enough is enough and decide to resist the government, which one of the people above will be the first to join you?

Evil on Display

On an unrelated issue, today I went witnessing at the bus station. There was a new security guard that I’ve never seen before. He said he was a baptist pastor, and supported what I was doing, but no soliciting is allowed. I explained that I was not soliciting–that is trying to sell things or advertise. Our right to free speech there had been cleared up with lawyers having to get involved. And that this is public property.

He said, “It’s not public property. It’s federal property.”

Which has to be the among the dumbest things to have come out of his mouth in at least a few hours. Federal property is public property (not that all federal property is open to first amendment activity, but it is all obviously public.) And to think that the city bus station is operated by the federal government is ludicrous.

He went inside to check with the other employees to make sure I was clear to be there. He came out in a few minutes and said, “You’re good, thanks for your cooperation.”

I don’t think I did anything to cooperate with him, and I’m sorry if I did.

I don’t know if stupid people are drawn to police work and security work, or if the stupid comes on when they put on a uniform and expect people to be intimidated by it or what.

Abolish The Police, Police Abuse, Theonomy

Theonomy or Autonomy

This is awesome information from a super theonomist. We as Americans have set up all these situations where it’s OK for cops or sometimes individuals to kill people. But do our laws line up with God’s law?

This is the article that was the article that was being referred to earlier in the coversation.

Here’s a couple paragraphs to whet your appetite for the beauty of God’s law.

bm

Bojidar Marinov:

I believe that Brown was justified from the very beginning, and Biblically he would be innocent if he had killed Wilson. Wilson was the aggressor from the very beginning, and killing him was a legitimate self-defense.

When you have an aggressor with his weapon pointing at other people, killing that aggressor doesn’t incur bloodguiltiness. Not being guilty for blood when you kill someone is the same as innocent.

Skip down a few comments to the tender, beautiful, juicy meat.

Brown would have been innocent for the specific encounter with Wilson. The other case, the supposed “theft”, was not proven, and Wilson had no right to try to arrest Brown on suspicion.

The concept of “arrest on suspicion” – and the related concept of “suspect” – are anti-Biblical. There is no law in the Bible that allows any act of violence except for direct defense or self-defense (and that under severe limitations) or under court orders. By the Biblical Law, Wilson was an aggressor. His drawing his gun to shoot at a fleeing unarmed person made him an aggressor who could be killed on the spot. Brown’s charging was justified, then.

By the way, American jurisprudence – at least in theory – is much closer to the Biblical Law on this issue and – at least in theory – doesn’t allow for “executive arrest” (that is, arrest not on court’s orders), and neither does it recognize the concept of “suspect.” Both executive arrest and designating people as “suspects” is a new development, of the last 20-30 years, and is a direct violation of the very principle behind American Law. In this, modern police is fundamentally illegal, for it has appropriated prerogatives that are not given to it by law. Therefore, while not always wise, resisting cops is always legal.

Just about 50 years ago, police could arrest people only on a court warrant, or when directly involved in a crime scene. No cop could arrest anyone on suspicion only, or for “resisting arrest.” If Wilson believed Brown was the thief, he should have followed him, get his name, and then procure an arrest warrant from the court.

So, yes, Wilson had no legal right to try to arrest Brown, and Brown would have been innocent if he killed Wilson. On the other issue, stealing the cigarettes, there we should have had a trial. We never had that. So he is innocent, as far as civil courts go. Before God, it’s another matter.

And to polish off the meal with a delicious desert:

As a common usage with the police, “suspect” was a leftover from the Jim Crow period in the American South. The full term originally was “suspect race” and applied to blacks. It was not defined legally – by the American jurisprudence, there is no such thing as a “suspect”: a person is either “defendant” in court (or “perpetrator”) or “innocent” (that is, free and immune against arrest). The police in the Southern United States during the segregation period used the term “suspect race” for the same reason as it is used to day: to arrest blacks for no reason whatsoever, just to instill terror and insecurity in them and thus keep them under control. After the end of the segregation, the cops just picked up the term and continued using it anyway.

Another term that is being used in a more formal way is “person of interest.” It means the same as “suspect,” and again, it has no legal definition. It was used first against Vietnam-era war-protesters, civil rights leaders, etc. No lesser person than the Attorney General of the US John Ashcroft used the term officially and then had to apologize for it and admit that the law had no legal definition for “person of interest.” (See Hattfield vs. Ashcroft.)

In general, given that “suspect” is not a legal term, we can say that between 60 and 90% of all arrests by police in the US are illegal, and under the Biblical Law (and also under the laws of almost every state) should be classified as kidnapping. If we include every stopping of a civilian by police officers, which is not officially an arrest but practically restricts the freedom of movement of the civilian, the percentage would rise to more than 95%. We can safely say that the two major functions of modern police are extortion and kidnapping. Crime prevention is a rather insignificant side issue – and usually happens by mistake or is an unintentional result of police work.

Arrested for Not Talking

I can see how these officers would be unfamiliar with the amendment that says you don’t have to talk to police. After all, it’s the 7864th Amendment.

Oh wait…that’s not right. It’s the 5th Amendment, just like the guy told them. These cops are probably still studying, and just haven’t gotten to the 5th Amendment yet. I bet if we gave them a basic Constitution test, they would get less than 50%. Is it just me or would that mean that when they cash their paychecks as law enforcement officers, they are committing fraud?

Of course, I bet 80% of Americans would flunk such a test. Is it a surprise that the government schools don’t teach Americans how to exercise their rights against the government.

And here’s the dumbest comment of the year award, regarding this video from FB:

Sam Hydle It may not be a crime to not answer questions but when you bring someone in to a hospital that have been stabbed cops want to know what happened if you don’t tell them what happened they assume you have something to do with that so yes That guy was in the wrong and he deserved to get arrested because he didn’t want to fill out a statement if a cop tells you to do something and you don’t do it you’re just asking for trouble
And the obvious response is:
Sean Caouette “It may not be a crime to not answer questions”… but “he deserved to get arrested”.
