Tasers, Torture and Terror Tactics: America Becomes a Police State
Tasers, Torture and Terror Tactics: America Becomes a Police State

Torture and atrocities are not confined to Abu Ghraib. In and out of the nation's 'out-sourced' penal institutions, perverts with badges terrorize the nation, threatening innocent children, , women and the handicapped. Everyone is a target.

Being an innocent bystander, a model citizen, a Rotarian is not enough to keep you safe from rogue cops, tin-horn sheriffs, or other so-called law enforcement personnel. Who let these dogs out? Who uncorked this evil genie? What Nazi mentality makes a lethal enemy of those who had been sworn to "protect and serve" us? I am pissed!

My fellow Americans, we are being made war upon! And it is no coincidence that the culture of fear, hate, prejudice, perversion and violence unleashed by the evil administration of one George W. Bush is largely to blame. The endemically corrupt GOP has 'stunk up the place' and no one is safe --not in your home, your car, your property! This is what it means to live in a police state.

2. sadists fall into the category of 'pervert'
hence the comparison is valid, albeit somewhat generalizing. Certainly, though, there is a problem with cops over-stepping legal boundaries these days. So bad, in fact, that it has become an epidemic.

I guess I don't see the evidence for your "epidemic."

8. Or possibly you are blowing a few incidents out of proportion
But it seems like this conversation has no chance of going anywhere useful. If you want to applaud anti-police screeds that's your business.

9. a 'few'? try tens of thousands, if not millions
Edited on Fri Feb-15-08 11:27 AM by ixion
and if you want to support the police state, that's your business as well. That won't protect you, though, and don't come crying to me when it's your door that gets kicked in.

10. There have been tens of thousands of incidents of police taserings?
I probably won't come crying to you anyway.

5. couldn't agree with you more. each individual event that was excused, validate, ignored
or justified allowed it to permeate. and will continue on.

7. "Becomes" is highly questionable. I'll go a little further and say "IS"
