American Cops have Allowed Themselves to become Political Scapegoats


New York, NY—Cops here like everywhere are being targeted for
violence.  Cops are not the cause of government tyranny.  They are the ones forced by politicians to enable tyranny.
Cops once existed to keep the peace and to stop criminal bullying.  However the politicians have perverted the mission of police into their evil extortion mission.
Politicians hate running for reelection and want others to fund guaranteed eternal employment for them. Those in power have found clever ways of converting taxes, fines and government ATM style programs to fund their reelections.
The only way to stop this is with strict term limits for politicians.  If they can’t run for reelection they lose motivation for extorting cash to fund expensive reelection campaigns.
Switzerland has a smarter idea for their Presidents.  The President there only serves a single two-year term.  Incumbency does not help anyone and if they elect a bad politician the pain from that ends quickly. 
Our politicians especially Democrats are constantly trying to create unnecessary programs for building or anything that will provide cash to government contractors. 
We may need some of these things but our politicians deliberately overfund everything to insure quid pro quo campaign contributions from the contractors. 
The contractors hire lobbyists to convince the politicians we need whatever they’re selling.   The lobbyists are also the ones dolling out the legal campaign contribution bribes.  Buried deep in this shuffle are the taxpayers.
A good example of this is that local politicians have in recent years have found automated traffic cameras to be a huge cash cow for their reelection financing. 
The traffic camera companies run the entire extortion programs and keep the lion’s share of what they collect from the public.  In turn the contractor’s throw maximum contributions to the politicians.  
You should also know that the records of the traffic camera companies are exempt from those pesky Freedom of Information requests unlike government, keeping the press out of our business.  That is just so convent!
Those automated camera and speeding tickets are nothing less than  a strict violation of an accused’s rights to a fair trial.  That’s because they defendant is denied their right to face and cross-examine their accusers.   That along with the fact that the data and photographs produced are purely inadmissible hearsay evidence.  The local judges hold their noses and always allow their courts to be used in this extortion scheme.
Local politicians appoint the judges they know better than to overrule the automated traffic monitoring systems.  Should they do that they will get canned in short order.  
The accused traffic violators can always appeal to higher courts but the extraordinary cost to appeal their fines makes getting any justice impossible.
Incumbent politicians are then guaranteed reelection, juicy retirement pensions along with eternally breathing the rarified air of wealth and power.
Our police have been turned into the enforcement and extortion bullies.  Cops are no longer to serve and protect us but to act as tax collectors.  Remember those that don’t pay their traffic camera fines face towing and arrests.  The guy with the uniform and the gun is now the face of this tyranny.
Then there are laws taxing cigarette and alcohol sales.  The taxes are excessive e4specially in the large cities all run by Democrats.  
That excessive taxation exactly what caused New York’s Eric Garner to begin selling bootleg cigarettes to his hopelessly nicotine addicted sidewalk customers. 
Police were forced by politicians to arrest the tax scoffing Eric Garner just as if he was an armed robber.  Garner resisted and due to his poor judgment and obesity he died during that pathetic arrest.
Politicians have done all that can to make tax-collecting thugs out of cops.  Cops have in turn allowed themselves to be used for political corruption purposes.
Citizens know that contact with the police will take food from their family’s tables and worse.  Police have become a bitter and feared enemy. 
As for cops, they always need to follow their oaths of office including our Bill of Rights. They also need to remember the huge precedent set at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial.   That established that simply following politician’s orders is in no way a valid defense.   A cop’s duty is always to a higher power.

The Senseless killing of Eric Garner and Our Police State


New York, NY—Selling cigarettes on the street cost a man his life.  Think about it for a moment.  Trying to make a meager living in a miserable economy by selling a legal product deserves death now in New York.
That’s precisely what happened to an obviously overweight (350 lbs.) and unhealthy man last week.  A squad of cops investigating this tax transgression approached Eric Garner. Garner actually begged the cops to leave him alone.   Soon Garner began to shun the cops and resist being handcuffed and the cops piled on him.  All too quickly, Garner was dead.
Was it the long banned chokehold?  I don’t think so.  I suspect positional asphyxia was the actual cause of death.  Does it really make any difference how they killed him?  Garner was killed not by policemen in the true sense of that noble occupation but a gang of government extortionists. 
This was not about anything more than the attempted evasion of an outrageous tax on a legal product that millions consume in America.  
Our greedy politicians expand their power and the government monster by overtaxing anything they can.   We all know that this was about money rather than evil, violence or simple public safety. 
Cops used to be there to protect and help us from evil.  They all signed up to help their fellow man, not to become extortionists.  However politicians changed the game decades ago by feeding the government monster with fines for minor offenses. 
Along the way our politicians stayed wide-awake nights dreaming of the creation new petty offenses and raising the fines on the ones already on the books.  They all need to bribe contractors for crap we don’t need for reelection campaigns.  That takes money and new creative ways of taking it from the public.
Parking enforcement and meters led the extortion parade.  Today unconstitutional Photo traffic enforcement has provided billions of illicit dollars to local governments. 
Most Americans don’t have a clue that they only way to convict people with photo enforcement and collect fines flagrantly violates our Sixth Amendment rights to confront and cross-examine witnesses against us. 
Where there is no live witness to a transgression courts must rely on long banned hearsay testimony to admit photo and computer data evidence into court.  You can’t cross-examine and ask the photograph about errors or equipment malfunctions.  Was the equipment actually tampered with to make it appear there was a violation by greedy equipment manufacturers selling government on this garbage?  
The whores in local politics appoint the judges and they know they better side with those that feed them.  Again, those sworn to defend it have trashed our Constitution. 
You can of course appeal the fines to higher courts where the judges owe nothing to local politicians.  However that red light ticket conviction will cost as much as a house to appeal to your state Supreme Court and a couple of million more to get a shot at the U.S. Supreme Court. 
The cost of court appeals denies all of us justice facilitating the tyranny of or politicians.  If we somehow had the money it still takes decades for these cases to be litigated and decided by the courts.  It’s truly a case of justice both denied and delayed. 
The only real remedy is through unimaginable self-help by violent revolution.  The Second Amendment was designed to that we the people would have arms parity with the government.  We’ve allowed the government to disarm the population and any arms we do have are not remotely comparable to those military grade arms.   
Today Americans could not stop a rogue President much better than Germany or Russia could stop Adolf Hitler or Josef Stalin.   
As long as it’s only the government breaking the law that’s seems okay with today’s Americans.
Politicians know Americans cannot possibly afford to seek justice against rogue politicians and they expect us all to simply shrug off the tyranny.   Our forefathers would have simply found and killed all these bastards. 
How soon we forget that we revolted against the British over a 3% tax on tea.  Have we forgotten that Americans began to kill those that dare extort from them?  Have they forgotten that they became free of their corrupt oppressors by chasing the ones that survived back to the UK? 
Cops are not nor should they be they ever become hated tax collectors.  However the Communists and Socialists we’ve elected have a different idea and like in every totalitarian society the cops are never on the side of the population.
The very reason we demanded our politicians and public officials take an oath to the Constitution was to prevent what we’ve allowed our nation to become. 
We now have a full-blown police state.  We have more people imprisoned per capita than any other nation on earth that proves the point.   
Slowly they’ve promoted the snitch system where our neighbors and children can be rewarded to turning us in to the authorities.
It’s only a matter of time before the death penalty will be used against anyone criticizing politicians or government tyranny.  They of course will claim this is necessary for public safety and a large percentage of the population will actually believe it. 
Those that love the idea of giving politicians to power of the death penalty need to rethink their position. 
We better get used to the idea of many more killings like Eric Garner’s.  That’s even if they prosecute those NYPD officers for excessive force.  The cops are no longer here for public safety but simple extortion.
