\"43_9941\"<\/a>Abolish your local police<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seven cops for one kid, seems reasonable doesn\u2019t it?\u00a0 After all the \u201ccriminal\u201d must have been doing something wrong if the cops stopped him in the first place right?\u00a0 It has been argued that there was a time in this country when \u201cpeace officers\u201d patrolled the streets, seeking only to keep the more violent elements of society from harming the innocents.\u00a0 Even if that was true, sadly, those days are long past.\u00a0 What we have now is a group of uniformed thugs\u00a0 with \u201cspecial rights\u201d violently shaking down any individual they can for the purposes of generating revenue for the State.\u00a0 Simply put they are rent seeking<\/a>.\u00a0 Just yesterday I saw six local cops pulling people over one after the other on a local drag.\u00a0 You can\u2019t tell me these clowns don\u2019t have quotas!\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

As societal and economic standards continue to decline, local police forces are becoming less and less concerned with crime prevention, and more concerned with revenue generation. Now as if extracting wealth wasn\u2019t bad enough, many of these thugs consider themselves to be superior to the rest of us lowly mortals.\u00a0 They have become increasingly territorial and violent \u201cdefending their beat\u201d. \u00a0 These thugs are now exempt from the principals of common law, if you resist their advances you will be beaten,caged and\/or killed.\u00a0 Much of this belief is reinforced from the backing they receive from \u201clawmakers\u201d another class of \u201cprivileged\u201d citizens.\u00a0 Let\u2019s get one thing straight, cops are no longer on the streets to protect \u201claw-abiding\u201d citizens, that is a secondary(and often ignored) directive.\u00a0 The first is to \u201cenforce\u201d the mandates of the State, using fear to keep the sheep in line.\u00a0 That is why the police are now called \u201cenforcement officers\u201d instead of peace officers (even game wardens are considered enforcement officers now). After all modern day cops<\/a> don\u2019t look very peaceful do they?<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s a peaceful individual to do?\u00a0 The choices depend on how much you are willing to risk.\u00a0\u00a0 Standing up to these men in costumes can be very gratifying, however it can also be very expensive, and hazardous to your health.<\/p>\n

A few tips:<\/p>\n

Never admit to anything when confronted by a cop<\/p>\n

Be polite but assertive, Know Your Rights!<\/p>\n

Everyone has smartphones, it\u2019s a wise idea to utilize them.\u00a0 Record every interaction, let the thugs know you are doing so.<\/p>\n

Be smart, don\u2019t give cops a reason to pull you over, and keep your vehicle in good order.<\/p>\n
