I had a conversation with someone, and I told them that I tell my children not to talk to the police. She was a bit taken aback by that. A lot of people still look at police as beneficial to society.

I told her that CPS and police can go to school to talk to your kids without your knowledge (another reason to homeschool your kids). I mentioned that one girl has been held hostage at a hospital for months.

She told me the odds of government abusing people like that are similar odds to winning the lottery.

That’s why I need to keep posting stories and videos of police abusing people. It’s not a rare thing for the police to trample people’s rights. Jeff Gray has had his rights abused dozens of times, and he has it all on video. Personally, I came within moments of being arrested for exercising my First Amendment right to free speech on a public sidewalk once, and have been harassed to varying degrees several times. Maybe I should play the lottery.

Try searching Youtube and see if police abuses are rare. Some of my favorite search terms are:

police shoot unarmed

police wheelchair

police elderly

Just with those searches you’ll have to spend several hours searching through egregious instances of police abuse. Sometimes, the cops are disciplined, sometimes they’re fired. Rarely are they prosecuted and jailed; the district attorney and the police are on the same team.

So, I will keep posting about government agents abusing people, because it can happen to anyone. It has happened to me. And only because Americans are so ignorant of our rights do we not realize that every checkpoint is an affront to liberty. Every traffic ticket we receive where there is no victim is an un-biblical affront to liberty. We’re all victims of police abuse, it’s just that most of us haven’t thought about it.
