A case against government Part 1: Police State

We have to have government. Who would protect us if we didn’t have police? Right? I keep hearing these questions and claims. The Supreme Court blew holes in those arguments when they decided it was not the job of the police to protect people. If you have a hard time with believing that then just check it out yourself Click here. So we know the police are not there to protect us, but they are there to enforce laws. What laws do they enforce and why? Well we know they enforce the laws that enable them to demand money from law abiding citizens. This is what happened to Fire Chief Don Payne, who spoke out against the extortion racket his town was running. When the federal government and state budgets run short police stations find ways to get the funding they need from citizens. We hear about it on the news and around town and in Jericho.
If a citizen or company were to choose to supplement income by forcing it out of people by threat of a gun they would be called a criminal and sent to jail. This is no different than organized crime. If you still doubt the thug violent nature of police I would ask you to visit GoodieMonster’s Blog Governed By Wolves, and watch this video (Click here) he posted.
police often do not want to go after violent criminals, they would rather go after the law abiding citizens, they put up less of a fight and they pay instead of cost.
The police look after their employer not the citizen. Their employer is the government, they are the strong arm of large corporations and the state. This is seen in the fact that their purpose is to enforce the state’s law. Often this law is to give money to corporations or government. Punishment is often not jail time, but payment to the state. Most every state forces citizens to pay insurance companies before they drive, and this is enforced by threat of felonies, and paying more money to the state.
Police fight to change laws for citizens to abide by in their own self interest not in the interest of the citizen or their liberty. Many of the laws of the system are oppressive to weaker individuals.
Currently in Kansas City there is an effort to pass SOAP/SODA “stay out of areas of prostitution,” “stay out of drug areas.” This effectively takes individuals who have drug problems as well as women who are abused and stuck in the sex industry and bans them from areas where they can get help. Learn what it is Click here, and see why it is just more damaging legislation Click here. So those that need the most help are taken and abused by cops, and forced out of where they can get help? This is needed?
If anything does exist like police officers it needs to be much more regulated. I support excessive legislation and regulation when it is to bind the hands of government, and keep them far away from our liberty, property, and freedoms. We are giving barbers about equal training as police officers, and the worst that happens when a barber slips is that your hair looks stupid, you don’t end up shot and dead. If judges & social workers are required high education we could at least ask the same or more from the so-called civil servants who point guns at us.
In reality if we eliminated police most of what they do would not be in high demand by the citizens. I doubt you would be pissed going 70 in a 65 wishing someone fully armed would pull you over and demand you pay his salary. What we do want from them we can just take our money back from the government and put it in the free market so that they would work for us and keep our safety in mind and not the tyrant’s law.
I will not say one way is better than another, but the point is that as long as they benefit from you being against them they will only grow worse. Until government stops profiting at your expense it will continue to victimize you.
We are seeing reports almost daily of police demanding respect from citizens and arresting or going after them if they do not show this respect. What has this person done to deserve respect at that point? That is basic machismo behavior I expect from rival gangs stepping on each others toes not from my “public servants.”
We still have to touch on profiling, racism, class-ism, and the speak English or die bullshit, but that will be for another post. Until then, watch out the Police are out to get you.
