When will Americans wake up to the fact that they live in a police state?

And can someone please tell me, why is it American Cops always seem so afraid?

Why do we pay these fuckers? I think someone needs a reality check. I wonder what they would do if something real happened?

Do I see Deja Vu happening again? History has been repeating itself too much recently. Looks like “The 60′s and 70′s”went on vacation for a few decades. “Paranoia strikes deep…”

I was there last night. The authorities were respectful of the crowd, but the whole thing was a ridiculous spectacle. The detained man and woman obviously just left their apartment only to find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. I hope they pursue legal action. One bystander tried shouting to them to see if they needed legal assistance but was confronted by several authorities and told to “quit interfering with an ongoing federal investigation.”

Law... and order.

Those are what a police officer represents. But the Ramsey folks seem to think that they are the law (they aren't), and that the only order is Gestapo-style control over the population (it's not).

Seriously, this needs injunctive relief.
