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:
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.
I don’t think it’s just the NYPD with an itchy trigger finger problem–it’s pretty much every city in America. But certain agencies of the NY city government have noticed the problem. They’re making the housing authority maintenance men wear orange vests to hopefully cause the cops to pause for a moment.
Of course, once there is a criminal that wears an orange vest, the PD will probably put out bounties on guys wearing orange vests.
I love what Bojidar said:
So, the NYC government finally figured out who the greatest threat to safety and security is. It’s the NYPD.
I’m dead serious that the police should be abolished. I say this for five main reasons.
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.
Check out these other blog entries to see how cops are abusing Americans. They are the biggest, most violent gang in the country.
“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.”
I’ve posted about 1 Samuel 8:15-18 before where the Lord says that a 10% income tax makes people slaves. That’s not a joke or an exaggeration. That is what the Bible teaches.
We live in a fascist/communist state. Not as bad as it could be but closer to fascism than free markets. Watch this and weep for the land of the free, where upstanding business men must go around begging for government permission.
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.
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 HydleIt 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”.
