Police Terrorize Children, Reporters and Other Dangerous Criminals
George Washington’s Blog
Tuesday, Sept 3, 2008
Federal and local law enforcement officers are literally terrorizing people in Minneapolis for their thought crimes.
Police have essentially been waging preemptive war by infiltrating, tracking and disrupting every-day Americans who disagree with the current administration’s policies.
As former constitutional lawyer Glenn Greenwald wrote on August 31st:
“We have a massive assault led by Federal Government law enforcement agencies on left-wing dissidents and protesters who have committed no acts of violence or illegality whatsoever, preceded by months-long espionage efforts to track what they do.”
As Greenwald and others note, those targeted were little old ladies and grandfathers, vegetarians, and other people who are not a threat to anyone.
(Article continues below)
And as law school professor and President of the well-respected legal group National Lawyers Guild, Marjorie Cohn, writes:
“Local police and sheriffs, working with the FBI, conducted preemptive searches, seizures and arrests. Glenn Greenwald described the targeting of protestors by ‘teams of 25-30 officers in riot gear, with semi-automatic weapons drawn, entering homes of those suspected of planning protests, handcuffing and forcing them to lay on the floor, while law enforcement officers searched the homes, seizing computers, journals, and political pamphlets.’ Journalists were detained at gunpoint and lawyers representing detainees were handcuffed at the scene.’I was personally present and saw officers with riot gear and assault rifles, pump action shotguns,’ said Bruce Nestor, the President of the Minnesota chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, who is representing several of the protestors. ‘The neighbor of one of the houses had a gun pointed in her face when she walked out on her back porch to see what was going on. There were children in all of these houses, and children were held at gunpoint.’”
Cohn notes that “preventive detention violates the Fourth Amendment” (you’re supposed to have a justification for imprisonment, not just thought crimes).
“The brigades of police officers would periodically chant military terms and march around in formation (’Double Time!’), while helicopters hovered overhead and Humvees drove by frequently.
***
Clearly, and particularly in the wake of this weekend’s thuggish raids, the intent was to create a highly intimidating, militarized and high-tension climate.”
Once the protests started, the police fired rubber bullets, teargas, pepper spray and concussion grenades at protesters, then arrested them en masse.
They also specifically targeted established journalists (and see this) simply for trying to cover the protests. What’s next . . . assassinating reporters like the U.S. did in Iraq?

Warrantless wire tapping,warrantless home invasions,wrongful imprisonment of citizens,sure sounds like a dictatorship to me…
What needs to happen to theses groups of 30-50 cops is someone needs to surround these jack asses and inform them they are under citizens arrest for trampling on their oath to uphold the Constitution,and violation of civil rights!!!!
STUPID FUCKING JACK OFFS!!!
COPS ARE BRAIN DEAD DUMB FUCKS THAT WILL DO ANYTHING THEY ARE TOLD,EVEN IF IT’S ATTACKING THEIR OWN CITIZENS…YOU STUPID MORON BRAIN DEAD DUMB ASS FUCKING JACK OFF IGNORANT POLICE,,,WAKE THE FUCK UP BEFORE YOUR FAMILIES ARE MOURNING YOUR DEATHS,YOU ARE VIOLATING OUR RIGHTS AS A NATION OF PEOPLE TO EXPRESS OUR UNHAPPINESS WITH OUR POLITICAL LEADERS,THEREFORE,YOU ARE ALSO OUR ENEMY,WE WILL NOT CONTINUE TO TOLERATE THIS ABUSE OF POWER,CONTINUE TO STRIKE AGAINST THE PEACEFUL PEOPLE OF THIS NATION AND YOU HAVE DECLARED WAR ON THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY,AND BY THE WAY,WE OUTNUMBER YOU 100 TO 1.
All you fucking bad ass women beating cops need to keep on doing what your told to do,don’t let your own conscience tell you that what you do is in in violation of OUR rights!Continue to be the fucking dumb asses that you are and when your falling dead in the streets,don’t question why the people are shooting back at you,you will already know the reason..Jack ass!!
Oh yea,just remember when it’s all hitting the fan,you will only be able to choose 1 side,the side of the patriot freedom fighters,or the side of dictatorial power hungry authority that wants to control everyone to the brink of slavery,THERE WILL BE NO MIDDLE GROUND.!!! You have clearly waged war against us,the only thing left now is for the Real Patriots of this country to group and form our militias to counter the Federal foot soldiers that have been brainwashed into servitude and think they are American patriots because they do what the authority tells them WITHOUT EVER QUESTIONING IF IT VIOLATES OUR RIGHTS.I guess these fuck wad cops would rather turn on their own citizens,THOSE YOU SWORE AN OATH TO PROTECT,then ever question authority and risk loosing their fucking skull bashing job,where you can kill a man,and get 2 weeks paid vacation and severance pay.
ALL YOU COPS ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE IS THE FUCKING FAT KID IN SCHOOL THAT GOT PICKED ON OR PUSHED DOWN OR TRIPPED,YOU ARE REALLY A BUNCH OF COWARDS THAT ARE USELESS AS AN INDIVIDUAL SO YOU GANG UP JUST LIKE A BUNCH OF THUG DRUG DEALERS AND USE FEAR AND SCARE TACTICS AGAINST YOUR OWN CITIZENS,,,FUCKING FAGS..YOU HAVE BECOME USELESS TO US,YOU NO LONGER SERVE THE PURPOSE THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT WAS MEANT TO BE.YOU NO LONGER SERVE FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE NATION AS A WHOLE AND HAVE STOOPED TO SERVING A DICTATORIAL MASTER THAT CONVINCES YOU THAT YOU HAVE A RIGHT AS A LAW OFFICER TO VIOLATE ME AND ANYONE LIKE ME,WELL I SAY “FUCK YOU”,CONTINUE THE MARCH TOWARD A POLICE STATE,AND YOU “WILL” BE MET WITH RESISTANCE,YOUR FUCKING FAMILIES THINK YOU ARE DOING JUSTICE FOR THIS NATION,BUT THEY ARE AS DUMB AS YOU ARE,THEY MUST BE,THEY SUPPORT YOU AND YOUR ACTIVITY,I sure hope things start to turn around,I would hate to think that we as a people are on the edge of going to war with our own police forces,but I’m afraid that they have left very few other options,So I say to the police that KNOW what they are doing is a violation,BETTER TALK TO YOUR BOSSES or things will just get worse,step across that line and support the real Patriot movement in this country,or stay on the side of those who feel they have a right to completely violate our rights and eventually you will reap that which you sow.In other words,keep on the path of tyranny and someone may be dragging your ass to the coroner,or they may just leave you in the street to rot!!!

It is hard to believe that these police thugs can treat their own people like this, don’t they have family in these cities? Don’t they see the peaceful but irate protestors as human, like their mothers, sisters and brothers? How do they sleep knowing they’ve just brutalised innocent weaker people? They, like our British police must be brainwashed into thinking that we are ALL the enemy. Our country is worse than Orwell’s 1984. Even this e-mail is logged and I am probably a political dissident in their book, or some kind of potential terrorist despite my crippling disability. I am a peace loving, dedicated and practising Christian of 35 years, oops! that makes me a threat to them. I do know that God’s judgement is very near and that this tragic planet is close to clean-up day. All of the bible’s signs are in front of our eyes, but I’m still apalled at what man is capable of doing to his own species. I welcome not waking up one morning.

Good Post Jerry!
THE War is on! I am just sitting back waiting to laugh my ass off, when their tyranny goes beyond the breaking point. I want these Neocon Fascists to show their true colors (they are doing a good job so far!), and the American People will eventually wake up. Bring on the breaking point,,,,

Ahem ahem- the previous pretence has ended. ‘Democracy’ (not that it ever really existed) is over. The two-party system has officially become the same as the communist system, namely two candidates offering the exact same agenda. The agenda, of course, has nothing whatsoever to do with the wishes of ordinary people.
Again, like in the totalitarian communist regimes, the agenda is set by an elite, and the people made to appear happy with their choices by the brainwashing power of a centrally controlled mass media, and the continuous threat of punishment by the various tentacles of the police state. The final trick is in how the sheep are correctly informed that any of them may aspire to join the decision making elite (so long, of course, that they are prepared to sell their soul).
And what are the protesters doing at the RNC anyway? They are hardly intending to change the system. And telling rotten people that they are rotten has never served any purpose. No, the elite have it all arranged. The protesting sheep have, by definition, to prove their intent to achieve zero goals in order to be defined as ‘lawful’. And the more the protesting sheep attempt to comply with their masters, the more their masters give them a ‘beat-down’ to make them comply more.
Take the gatekeeper zionist Amy Goodman. “Why did you arrest me, I really really really wasn’t doing anything’ sez it all. Of course these people are doing nothing. They are busy doing nothing, and that is the whole point.
It gets worse. Only those sheep that daily suckle on the teat of the zionist controlled mass media (and we all know them) are to be considered ‘fit’ to give an opinion (for obvious reasons). Those that reject the teat are to be defined as ‘terrorists’, ‘dangerous radicals’, ‘nutcases’ and ‘criminals’, and the sheep are to demand their cruxifiction. Have you ever tried to reason with such a sheep? You’ll have success for the duration of your talk, but the next day, after they suck up another dose of the poison, they’re back spouting the words of their masters.
Only the total elimination of a centrally controlled mass media could change things, and do any of you see that happening? The addicted sheep need the soothing voices of the monsters. Our words must always be harsh and scary to try to affect a change. Although we promise the best possible future world for Humanity, the sheep (by definition) will trade a tiny amount of imaginary jam today for a universe of infinite heavenly jam tomorrow.

Hey… I know what the police, FBI and Homeland Security are doing! They are practicing! They are practicing for the real big protests coming in November.
Even though about 75% of people want Barack O’Bama as president this will be the scenario come this November. Brought to you by…FOX and the rest of the corporate controlled Neo-Con media.
It is a close race…”A VERTUAL TIE” (remember these words, they will be used often!)
Oh now OBama has a 1% lead over McBush…but don’t forget there is a 4% margin of error.
Now it’s a tie again.
AND THE RESULTS ARE: McBush and Dick Cheney…rrrrr Palin rrr what’s here name? We will just call here Sarah. The sled dog broad with the nice rack! CAN’T SAY THAT IDIOT. Why? Never mind.

Why dont instead of violence, use the systems weak points, use flaws in the laws to oust and nix the cops, city council members and policy makers and fill them with people like you, who care about people over imposing violence, i think america would mellow out if it had hash bars, more fair teachings about paradigms of thought. You know basicly being honest to ourselves, the young and the old. So it all eventually rebalances out. The chaos we see today is a contrived lie, they want violence so they have an excuse thats how fucking weak these whores are. Go with the flaming sword of verbal truth straight to the heart of fuckheads.

one more thing, its the naivity of the older members of society who think along lines that are the most devious to a younger generation trying to break away from tyrant assholes with no dick or vagina.
Sadly the real people, namely the young and middle aged cool generations are dealing with foreign military and domestic military posing as cops for the big bad wolf machine to maintain all angles of control, they have fucked our money, our representation, they fucked our mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters, they fuck it all, because government I think is a giant fucking moron pervert of justice, and they only enjoy one thing, rape, in the name of the self created self dellusion of power stolen, not rewarded or respected, but stolen. So basicly the whole of the hierarchy of our Grand ol’ flag system is corrupt by old assholes who need to die of age or shut the fuck up and go convelesce in some home. Fuck anyone who isnt cool. Attitude or action wise, respect, learn that word losers.

David Rockefeller (CFR founder), page 405 of his 2002 book Memoirs: “Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.” ISBN-13: 978-0812969733

Did you see the Rally for the Republic, going on, down the road from the GOP?
True words are spoken, there.
There is a chance for us to get our freedom back.
But, it starts with personal responsibility.
That is where it will change things, in the flick of a thought.
